PhishDestroy threat report
sitemv4c57e5h81k.cfd is an impersonation phishing page that presents itself as "Zest Protocol | The Bitcoin liquidity protocol". It targets Bitcoin holders who are looking for yield or lending in Bitcoin DeFi and want the real Zest service. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-13. As of 2026-10-19 the domain still responded, but DNS for its content was inactive, so the phishing page itself was no longer resolving.
The page borrows the name and tagline of a Bitcoin liquidity protocol so that visitors arriving from search ads, social posts or direct messages believe they are on the genuine app. Fake DeFi front ends like this usually ask the visitor to connect a wallet and then present transaction or signature requests dressed up as deposits, claims or account verification. Some ask outright for a recovery phrase to "restore" access. Approving those prompts or typing the seed phrase hands control of the funds to the operators, and transfers made on-chain are practically impossible to reverse.
On 2026-10-16, five of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, SOCRadar and VIPRE. That is a low count, which is common for throwaway domains in their first days. The stronger signal comes from crypto-specific blocklists. Besides PhishDestroy, the domain is listed by MetaMask, ScamSniffer and SEAL, so wallet users relying on those protections should already see a warning.
The domain was registered on 2026-10-11 through Spaceship, Inc., two days before PhishDestroy caught it. That short gap fits a disposable campaign domain on a cheap .cfd extension with a random-looking name. Traffic runs through Cloudflare (AS13335, US), which hides the real origin server. The Let's Encrypt certificate gives the site a padlock, but the padlock only means the connection is encrypted and says nothing about who runs the site.
If you connected a wallet here, open a token-approval checker for that wallet and revoke any permissions you do not recognize. If you entered a recovery phrase, treat the wallet as compromised and move any remaining assets to a new wallet with a freshly generated seed. Reach Zest Protocol only through links you have verified yourself, never through ads or messages. Defenders should block the domain at DNS and proxy level, search their logs for visits since 2026-10-11, and report it to Cloudflare and Spaceship for takedown.
