trust-trader[.]app

This report examines the domain www.trust-trader.app, which was identified as part of an investment scam phishing campaign. The domain, registered on February 21, 2026, through Porkbun LLC, is currently offline with an HTTP 404 status. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolved to the IP address 216.198.79.65, hosted on Amazon.com, Inc. (AS16509) in the United States. Nameservers associated with the domain include curitiba.ns.porkbun.com, fortaleza.ns.porkbun.com, and maceio.ns.porkbun.com, consistent with the registrar's infrastructure. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt (R13), a common certificate authority for both legitimate and malicious domains.

Technologies detected on the domain include Vercel and HSTS, which are frequently used in modern web applications but do not inherently indicate malicious intent. The page title, 'TrustTrader - Wallet Safety & AML Risk Analysis,' suggests an attempt to mimic financial or cryptocurrency services, aligning with the reported scam type of investment fraud. At the time of analysis, the domain appeared on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, indicating prior detection by at least one vendor. No detections were recorded by the 95 vendors that scanned the domain on VirusTotal, though this absence does not confirm the domain's safety.

The domain's current offline status limits further real-time analysis, but historical indicators point to its use in phishing operations targeting individuals through fraudulent investment schemes. Defenders are advised to monitor related infrastructure, including the IP address 216.198.79.65 and Porkbun-registered domains with similar naming conventions. Organizations should also review logs for connections to this domain prior to its takedown and consider blocking access to it in web gateways or endpoint protection systems.
