24onlinetradingcity[.]com

The domain 24onlinetradingcity.com was registered on June 17, 2025 through Atak Domain and currently resolves to the IPv4 address 198.23.193.170, which is hosted in the United States by AS36352 (HostPapa). The authoritative name servers are ns1.eclorion.group, ns2.eclorion.group, ns1.nezercloud.com and ns2.nezercloud.com. No TLS certificate is presented, indicating the site is served over plain HTTP. The page title returned from the site, “Online Trading City – Safe investment with Online Trading City”, does not reference the targeted brand, but the domain has been classified as a brand‑impersonation campaign targeting Apple. The malicious activity is described as a “Fake Exchange” scam.

Detection evidence shows the domain appears on one security blocklist and has been blocked by PhishDestroy. It is also referenced in a single AlienVault OTX pulse. Reputation services assign extremely low trust scores: Gridinsoft 1/100 and Scamadviser 1/100. VirusTotal analysis recorded 7 detections out of 95 scanned engines, confirming the presence of malicious content. The overall risk is elevated and the domain is currently taken offline.

Uncertainty remains regarding the exact payload or credential‑harvesting mechanisms, as no detailed page content or sample phishing kit has been disclosed. The lack of an SSL certificate suggests a simple hosting setup, but the presence of multiple name‑server providers may indicate attempts to increase resilience. Defenders should add 198.23.193.170 and the associated name servers to network‑level blocklists, monitor for outbound connections to the IP, and ensure that any email or web traffic referencing Apple‑related URLs is inspected for redirects to this domain. Continuous monitoring of the registrar Atak Domain for new domains with similar naming patterns is recommended, as well as periodic re‑scans of the domain should it become active again.
