trustcoastcap[.]com

Analysis of trustcoastcap.com indicates a phishing domain targeting online trading platforms, specifically contracts for difference (CFD) trading services. The domain was registered on March 11, 2026, through NameCheap, Inc., and resolved to IP address 198.54.115.228, hosted on AS22612 (Namecheap, Inc.) in the United States. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain used Namecheap hosting nameservers (dns1.namecheaphosting.com, dns2.namecheaphosting.com) and configured MX records pointing to mx1-hosting.jellyfish.systems with priority 5 and a secondary host at priority 10, suggesting potential email-based phishing vectors. The page title, "Trust Coast Capital | CFD Trading — Trading on Stocks, Gold, Oil, Indices," explicitly frames the domain as a financial trading platform, a common lure for credential harvesting or fraudulent investment schemes.

The SSL certificate, issued by Sectigo Limited (Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36), provides basic encryption but does not validate the legitimacy of the site. As of July 24, 2026, the domain is offline, though its prior status as an active phishing site is supported by its inclusion on one security blocklist (PhishDestroy) and detection by 3 of 94 security vendors on VirusTotal. Defenders should treat this domain as a confirmed phishing threat targeting CFD traders. The combination of financial-themed branding, recent registration, and hosting on a provider frequently associated with malicious activity warrants blocking at the DNS and proxy levels.

Email filters should inspect messages originating from or referencing this domain, particularly those using the observed MX records. While the domain is currently inactive, monitoring for reactivation or related infrastructure (e.g., subdomains, newly registered lookalike domains) is recommended. No additional brand impersonation or phishing kit details are available at this time.
