# PhishDestroy threat dossier — xmglobalprofx.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-25 16:34:19 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/xmglobalprofx.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Social Media Phishing Targeted brand: across (and: binance, chainlink, coinbase, ethereum, lido) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 14/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE URLQuery: 100 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 173.214.163.18 (US, New York City) ASN: ASAS19318 IS-AS-1 - Interserver, Inc, US Hosting org: AS19318 Interserver, Inc Registrar: NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: webhosting3008a.trouble-free.net, webhosting3008b.trouble-free.net Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2027-01-23 Page title: XM Trade - Best Trading Platform ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-26 15:07:20 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-25 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-09 01:17:08 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bfab4-f116-7097-9647-9945d12d191c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/1e1f1451-8555-4412-97b4-2a857864e371 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/xmglobalprofx.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.xmglobalprofx.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=xmglobalprofx.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/xmglobalprofx.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/xmglobalprofx.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-23 18:44:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain xmglobalprofx.com posed as the legitimate "XM Trade - Best Trading Platform" to execute social media phishing attacks, specifically impersonating the across brand to harvest user credentials or financial data. The threat involves tricking victims into revealing sensitive information under the guise of a trusted trading service. Technical analysis shows the site was flagged by 14 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, with detections from ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, and CyRadar. It was hosted on IP 173.214.163.18 (US) under AS19318 Interserver, Inc, registered via NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. The domain was created on 2026-02-21, configured with nameservers webhosting3008a.trouble-free.net and webhosting3008b.trouble-free.net, and lacked SSL encryption. The site appeared on three blocklists. As of analysis, the domain is down or offline, with a GridinSoft trust rating of 0 out of 100 and a DOM risk score of 10, indicating a high-risk threat. Despite current inactivity, the domain remains a significant phishing vector due to its impersonation of a known brand and lack of security measures. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260126-1F81CA Favicon MD5: 19567461851096f8d47d0c06ce67be67 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/xmglobalprofx.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xmglobalprofx.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
