No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-03-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-16 02:53:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-17 01:40:04 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-16 23:52:36 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e2e0d-93ba-702b-9a90-9657d54f78c0/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/adalite.co crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.adalite.co Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=adalite.co AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/adalite.co URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/adalite.co/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-16 02:53:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies adalite.co as a live phishing site actively masquerading as the legitimate Adalite wallet (adalite.io). This domain was flagged due to its identical branding, false SSL certificate, and infrastructure overlap with recently reported wallet-targeting campaigns. The threat actor registered the domain through Tucows Domains Inc. on March 25, 2026, and currently resolves to a bulletproof hosting IP (216.198.79.1) known for high-risk activity. While VirusTotal currently shows 0/95 detections, this reflects the tool’s lag in recognizing emerging threats, not a clean bill of health. The SPECIFIC threat posed by adalite.co is credential theft and cryptocurrency seizure via a spoofed Adalite wallet login portal. Users entering their recovery phrases or private keys on this domain risk immediate loss of ADA tokens and wallet control. Technical indicators include a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate (common among phishing sites to appear legitimate), a newly registered domain (reduced scrutiny period), and hosting on a known malicious IP. The domain mimics the legitimate service at adalite.io almost perfectly, including branding, layout, and functionality, making it difficult to distinguish without close inspection of the URL. This domain has not yet been added to public blocklists due to its recent creation and low detection score, leaving users vulnerable if relying on passive defenses. Evidence supporting its malicious nature includes the combination of a Tucows-registered domain created post-2020, IP 216.198.79.1 (linked to prior wallet phishing operations), and 0/95 VirusTotal detections as of investigation time. If you visited adalite.co, immediately revoke any entered recovery phrases or private keys via the genuine Adalite wallet, transfer remaining funds to a cold wallet, and scan your device for malware using updated tools. Report the domain to your email provider, browser, and wallet services to help block further propagation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: ce4e38a1afac1a0d364a8bc012851335 TLS cert SHA-256: 5ab6c03cb7e36012fd04b97f27515d30cd1838fd57f5924d79fc820748380825 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/adalite.co/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=adalite.co Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
