assuredtradingacademy[.]com

The domain assuredtradingacademy.com was created on September 15, 2024 and is currently taken offline. It was registered through Global Domain Group LLC and resolves to the IPv4 address 198.251.83.106, which is hosted within AS53667 (FranTech Solutions) in the United States. The domain uses the nameservers ns25.my-control-panel.com and ns26.my-control-panel.com and does not present an SSL/TLS certificate, indicating that any traffic to the site would be unencrypted. The page title retrieved during analysis reads “Assuredtradingacademy | Safe investment with Assuredtradingacademy LIMITED,” and the site is classified as a “Fake Exchange” impersonating Google, suggesting an attempt to lure victims into a fraudulent investment or trading scheme.

Detection data show that 15 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, and the domain appears on one public security blocklist. PhishDestroy has also added the domain to its block list. AlienVault OTX references the domain in a single threat‑intelligence pulse, confirming that at least one external feed has observed the indicator. Reputation services assign extremely low trust scores: Gridinsoft rates the domain at 0 / 100 and Scamadviser at 1 / 100, reflecting a high likelihood of abuse. No SSL certificate is available, and the site’s HTTP status cannot be verified because the domain is offline, leaving the exact content and any login capture mechanisms unconfirmed.

The available evidence points to a coordinated brand‑impersonation campaign targeting Google users under the guise of a legitimate trading academy. Defenders should block traffic to 198.251.83.106 and the domain name itself at perimeter security devices, update DNS sinkhole lists, and ensure that endpoint protection solutions incorporate the 15 VirusTotal detections. Monitoring of the registrar Global Domain Group LLC for any new registrations that reuse similar naming patterns is advised.
