These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The domain tronscaner.net mimics legitimate TRON blockchain explorers and services. Our antivirus network detected strong malicious signals: BitDefender, ESET, CyRadar, and G-Data all classify it as phishing, while CRDF and Fortinet flag it as malware. Eleven of 91 engines in our network flagged the page as malicious or suspicious. The domain is only 45 days old with no legitimate traffic ranking, a common pattern for credential-harvesting and wallet-draining phishing sites. The SSL certificate is valid but recent (44 days to expiry), typical of throwaway phishing infrastructure. No independent review aggregators have rated it, and the hosting IP shows minimal abuse history — consistent with a newly-deployed phishing campaign.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The domain name closely resembles TRON blockchain explorer services ("tronscaner" mimics "tronscan"). This is a classic impersonation tactic used to harvest wallet credentials, private keys, or seed phrases from users seeking legitimate blockchain tools.

Infrastructure

Hosted on IP 104.21.25.160 with valid Let's Encrypt SSL. The certificate is recent (44 days to expiry), typical of temporary phishing deployments. No redirects or homoglyph tricks detected, suggesting a direct phishing page rather than a redirect chain.

Domain History

Registered 45 days ago via PublicDomainRegistry.com with privacy protection disabled. The short age combined with zero traffic ranking and immediate malware detection is consistent with a fresh phishing campaign.

Web Reputation

Six major antivirus engines (BitDefender, ESET, CyRadar, G-Data, CRDF, Fortinet) flag the page as phishing or malware. Browser blocklists remain clean, likely because the page is too new to have been widely reported. Abuse reports on the hosting IP are minimal, suggesting the infrastructure is newly provisioned.

Risk Factors
7
  • Six antivirus engines flag as phishing or malware, including tier-1 detectors BitDefender and ESET.
  • Domain name impersonates TRON blockchain explorer (tronscaner vs. tronscan), a credential-harvesting tactic.
  • Registered only 45 days ago with zero global traffic ranking, typical of throwaway phishing sites.
  • Valid SSL certificate issued 44 days ago, consistent with temporary malicious infrastructure.
  • No independent trust aggregator ratings; new domains with malware detections rarely have positive reviews.
  • Privacy-protected WHOIS disabled but registrant details not publicly disclosed, common for phishing operators.
  • Reputation score 0/100 across our antivirus network.
AI Recommendation
Do not visit this site. Do not enter any credentials, seed phrases, or private keys. If you were directed here by a search result or link, report it to your browser and to the TRON Foundation's security team. Use only official TRON services (tronscan.org) for blockchain queries.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review flags tronscaner.net as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — tronscaner.net scored 1/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. tronscaner.net presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · E8, expiring in 44 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • tronscaner.net is 1 month old, registered on 4/28/2026 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

  • No. tronscaner.net is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

If circumstances around tronscaner.net have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
