# PhishDestroy threat dossier — xtb.icu ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-14 16:00:58 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/xtb.icu/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Dynadot Inc Nameservers: alaric.ns.cloudflare.com, brynne.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-05 Expires: 2027-07-05 Page title: XTB HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-10-03 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 9773b4e707e3ab5595333ae761e6b2731531e3d102038e907938b290221125a4 ## 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: 2026-07-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 18:30:53 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-14 16:20:45 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-07 00:01:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f3843-e594-72d2-85ce-1b2bf48ec89c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f6f70951-0eea-479d-828e-b00f04e7cde9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/xtb.icu crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.xtb.icu Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=xtb.icu AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/xtb.icu URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/xtb.icu/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 18:56:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, xtb.icu, is flagged as a high-risk phishing site specifically designed to harvest brokerage credentials. The page mimics the legitimate XTB trading platform, presenting a login interface to deceive users into submitting sensitive financial account details. Analysis indicates the site is actively targeting individuals familiar with online trading, likely through phishing emails or malicious advertisements redirecting victims to the fraudulent domain. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on July 05, 2026, through Dynadot Inc, a registrar commonly used for both legitimate and malicious registrations. It currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which hosts multiple other domains with similar phishing characteristics. Despite its recent creation, only 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain as malicious, suggesting either evasion techniques or limited exposure at this stage. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of legitimacy to unsuspecting visitors. Users who have visited xtb.icu or entered credentials on the site should immediately revoke any submitted login details through their official brokerage accounts. Financial institutions should be notified of potential unauthorized access attempts. Browser-based password managers should be checked for any saved credentials associated with this domain, and those entries should be removed. Network administrators are advised to block the domain and its resolving IP at the perimeter to prevent further exposure. Monitoring for unusual login attempts or transactions is strongly recommended for affected individuals. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 6910985fa7ce46b3e45ad882a47f331f TLS cert SHA-256: 9773b4e707e3ab5595333ae761e6b2731531e3d102038e907938b290221125a4 ## 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 (operator 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/xtb.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xtb.icu 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
