  - tradegame.io

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-04 19:56:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies wl.tradegame.io as a confirmed crypto gambling phishing site targeting unsuspecting users. The domain was registered on March 07, 2026, through Dynadot Inc and resolves to IP 188.114.97.3. Despite its Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, the site currently shows 0/95 detections on VirusTotal, indicating it has not yet been flagged by security vendors. However, the domain's recent creation date and lack of trust scores suggest it is actively used for deceptive purposes.  This domain was flagged due to its association with crypto gambling phishing tactics, where attackers lure victims with fake trading platforms or gambling opportunities. The absence of detections on VirusTotal does not guarantee safety, as phishing sites often fly under the radar until reported by users or security researchers. The domain's registration through Dynadot Inc and its resolution to IP 188.114.97.3 further indicate a lack of transparency, as this IP has been linked to other suspicious activities in the past.  To mitigate risks, users should avoid interacting with wl.tradegame.io or any related links. If you have already engaged with the site, cease all transactions immediately and revoke any permissions granted to crypto wallets or accounts. Report the domain to your local cybersecurity authority or platforms like PhishDestroy to aid in its takedown. Always verify the legitimacy of crypto trading or gambling platforms through trusted sources before participating.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 1/94 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      8d1f584af80a34e81927a2dda2f9499e66256db92fd8f062495c75b1fc953467

## SCORING METHODOLOGY
----------------------------------------------------------------
Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates:
  - VirusTotal positive ratio
  - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus,
    CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB)
  - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor)
  - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.)
  - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing
  - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts
  - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording)
  - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures)
  - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...)
  - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal)
  - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record)
  - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team)

A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does
NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their
first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite
score and the individual indicators above, not just VT.
