This domain, wasabi-desktopapp[.]live, is under investigation for operating as a fraudulent cryptocurrency wallet application designed to execute crypto drainer attacks. The site impersonates the legitimate Wasabi Wallet by presenting itself as a desktop application download portal, using the page title 'Wasabi Wallet — Now on Desktop.' Such schemes typically aim to trick users into downloading malicious software that siphons cryptocurrency from connected wallets by exploiting weak or compromised authentication mechanisms. The threat is particularly insidious given the irreversible nature of blockchain transactions and the high value of digital assets targeted. Analysis of the domain reveals multiple technical indicators supporting its classification as malicious infrastructure. The domain was registered on June 18, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 216.198.79.1, hosted on AS16509 (Amazon.com, Inc.), a common cloud provider leveraged for both legitimate and malicious operations. As of the latest assessment, the domain has not been flagged by antivirus engines, with a VirusTotal detection score of 0/95. However, it appears on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by at least one threat intelligence feed. The SSL certificate, issued by Let's Encrypt (serial number YR2), provides encryption but does not validate the legitimacy of the site, a tactic often exploited in phishing campaigns to appear trustworthy. Users who have visited wasabi-desktopapp[.]live or downloaded files from the site should take immediate remedial action. Disconnect any devices that interacted with the domain from the internet to prevent further data exfiltration. Scan the affected system using updated security tools to detect and remove any malicious payloads. If cryptocurrency wallets were accessed or credentials entered, assume compromise and transfer remaining assets to a new, secure wallet using a clean device. Monitor all linked accounts for unauthorized transactions and revoke access to any suspicious applications or browser extensions. Given the domain's recent registration and lack of widespread detection, heightened vigilance is advised, particularly for users in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

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 wasabi-desktopapp.live — 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
wasabi-desktopapp.live) - 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
