PhishDestroy identifies bafkreidgrzz5a5olpbqqm66sjo442pfrbkrq4obr54gf2zhh4rxh3bdq5u[.]ipfs[.]dweb[.]link as an active crypto drainer infrastructure operating under the guise of IPFS-hosted content. The domain leverages social engineering tactics to trick users into connecting crypto wallets under the false pretense of accessing legitimate decentralized content. No specific brand is directly impersonated in this campaign; however, the use of IPFS hosting (a legitimate decentralized storage protocol) serves as a decoy to distribute malicious drainer scripts. The drainer kit is designed to execute unauthorized token transfers upon wallet connection, targeting users seeking to access files or media hosted on IPFS networks. This domain was flagged with a high-risk profile across multiple security platforms. VirusTotal analysis confirms detection by 14 out of 95 security vendors, indicating partial but not universal recognition of the threat. The domain is registered through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc., and resolves to IP address 209.94.90.3. Domain creation occurred on February 24, 2017, which may indicate reuse of an older, compromised domain for current malicious purposes. Google Safe Browsing classifies this domain under SOCIAL_ENGINEERING, and it is blocked by both OISD and one additional security blocklist, reflecting consistent malicious reputation. The combination of age, blocklist status, and partial detection coverage highlights a sophisticated and evasive threat actor. As of current monitoring, this domain remains actively engaged in malicious operations with high risk to end users. Immediate takedown or remediation efforts have not been confirmed at this time, leaving the infrastructure operational. Users are strongly advised to avoid any interaction with this domain, especially those involving wallet connections or file downloads. Existing detection signatures (14/95) suggest incomplete protection, warranting user vigilance and reliance on real-time threat intelligence. The combination of social engineering tactics, partial detection coverage, and active status elevates the risk profile, reinforcing the need for proactive security measures and user education.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →

Recommendations & Advice for Victims

An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with bafkreidgrzz5a5olpbqqm66sjo442pfrbkrq4obr54gf2zhh4rxh3bdq5u.ipfs.dweb.link — act now.

What should I do immediately?
Urgent
  • Revoke token approvals — use revoke.cash to remove access granted to malicious smart contracts
  • Move remaining funds to a brand-new wallet. The compromised wallet is no longer safe
  • Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
  • Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
  • Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines

According to the FBI, the most important details are transaction data:

  • Cryptocurrency addresses — scammer's wallet (e.g., 0x5856...35985)
  • Amount & crypto type — exact amount (e.g., 1.02345 ETH, 0.5 BTC, 500 USDT)
  • Transaction ID (hash) — the unique blockchain transaction identifier
  • Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
  • Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
  • All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including bafkreidgrzz5a5olpbqqm66sjo442pfrbkrq4obr54gf2zhh4rxh3bdq5u.ipfs.dweb.link)
  • Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used

Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.

Where should I report the scam?
  • FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
  • Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
  • Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
  • Your crypto exchange — contact Coinbase/Binance/Kraken support to freeze scammer's address
  • Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately

The FBI recovered over $1 billion in crypto fraud in 2024 thanks to victim reports. Your report matters.

How do crypto scams typically work?
  • Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
  • Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
  • Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
  • Recovery scams — victims targeted AGAIN by fake "recovery agents" demanding upfront fees. Always a scam
  • Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
  • AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
  • Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
  • Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
  • Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
  • Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
  • "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
How big is the crypto scam problem?
  • $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 — CoinLedger
  • Pig butchering losses grew 40% year over year, now the fastest-growing fraud type
  • Only ~5% of victims report — your report helps shut down criminal networks
  • FBI recovered $1B+ in 2024 thanks to victim reports — FBI.gov
