Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies apicrew.cc as an active crypto drainer phishing domain operating at an elevated risk level. The site is engineered to deceive cryptocurrency users into connecting wallets and approving malicious token contracts, leading to unauthorized transfers. Security telemetry confirms MetaMask has blocked this domain, and its presence on two independent blocklists signals widespread recognition as a threat actor infrastructure node. This domain resolves to IP address 77.37.54.33 and is secured by a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. Registered on April 29, 2026 through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, apicrew.cc has been detected by only 1 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, yet it appears on two prominent security blocklists including SEAL. The recent creation date and low detection ratio suggest a rapidly deployed threat designed to evade early-stage filters, leveraging trust in legitimate certificate authorities to appear benign. To mitigate exposure to apicrew.cc crypto drainer operations, users must immediately revoke any wallet connections via their wallet interface. Block the domain at the network perimeter using DNS filtering rules. Security teams should add 77.37.54.33 to firewall deny lists and investigate logs for prior access attempts. Organizations are advised to deploy browser extensions that block known crypto drainer domains and to educate users on the risks of approving token contracts from untrusted sources. This domain should be treated as hostile infrastructure and isolated from all cryptocurrency-related workflows. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260501-3FEFE2 Favicon MD5: c4bb3800ee5fa9d7e0ac2207ad3dba40 TLS cert SHA-256: 65e39898a103b76c2166f694e4b5da4bf949b3c1aa19ef86b9504983f09c0161 ## 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/apicrew.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=apicrew.cc 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.
