“Walrus Claiming Portal”
On 13 October 2025 the domain app-walrus.xyz was registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. The domain resolves to the Cloudflare address 104.21.68.5, which is associated with ASN 13335 and is geolocated in the United States. The nameserver set consists of kevin.ns.cloudflare.com and tani.ns.cloudflare.com. No TLS certificate is presented, indicating the site was served over plain HTTP at the time of observation. The site’s HTML title is “Walrus Claiming Portal”, and the page is identified as a wallet/seed phishing portal targeting MetaMask users.
Analysis of the page content links the operation to the Angel Drainer kit, a known crypto‑drainer payload used to exfiltrate private keys and seed phrases. Google Safe Browsing has flagged the URL for social engineering, and four independent security blocklists have listed the domain. Additionally, the domain is blocked by the PhishDestroy, Polkadot, Enkrypt, and Codeesura blocklists. VirusTotal scans show that twelve of ninety‑five security vendors flagged the domain as malicious, reinforcing the suspicion of a crypto‑drainer campaign.
The current operational status is offline, suggesting the infrastructure has been taken down or is temporarily unavailable. However, the presence of a Cloudflare‑protected IP indicates that the operators may re‑host the payload on a different sub‑domain or IP address in the future. Defenders should continue to monitor for any re‑appearance of the domain or related CNAMEs, enforce strict validation of MetaMask seed phrase entry points, and block the listed IP address and DNS records at perimeter defenses. Incident response teams should also update phishing‑filter rules with the observed indicators of compromise, including the domain name, IP address, page title, and the Angel Drainer signature, to prevent users from being redirected to a renewed version of the campaign.

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with app-walrus.xyz — 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
app-walrus.xyz) - 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 — notify its fraud team immediately; it may be able to preserve records or restrict funds held on its platform
- Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
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 — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
- 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
