cryptoprotect[.]io

PhishDestroy identifies cryptoprotect.io as a confirmed phishing site impersonating a crypto wallet protection service to steal user credentials and crypto assets. This domain was flagged by ScamSniffer after being reported for mimicking legitimate wallet security services, tricking users into entering private keys or seed phrases under the guise of 'protection.' The site leverages social engineering tactics, such as urgency (e.g., 'Your wallet is at risk!') to coerce victims into action. Security researchers have observed this domain being distributed via phishing emails and malicious ads targeting cryptocurrency users.

This domain was registered on January 23, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a registrar frequently exploited by cybercriminals for short-lived malicious domains. The site uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, resolving to IP address 188.114.97.3. Despite its recent creation, cryptoprotect.io was blocked by ScamSniffer and appears on 1 security blocklist. VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 scanners, indicating it has evaded automated detection systems—likely due to its recent launch and rapidly changing infrastructure. The lack of detections highlights the importance of manual threat intelligence and user vigilance.

If you visited cryptoprotect.io, assume your credentials or private keys may have been compromised. Do not enter any sensitive information on this site. Disconnect from the internet and scan your device for malware using reputable antivirus software. Revoke any permissions granted to wallet-related apps or browser extensions. If you entered a seed phrase or private key, transfer your funds to a new wallet immediately. Report the domain to ScamSniffer and your local cybersecurity authorities. Avoid interacting with this site or any unsolicited links claiming to offer wallet protection. Always verify URLs and use hardware wallets for critical transactions.
