Report overview
Security analysis of app.kyq.finance covers observed phishing indicators, infrastructure evidence, current status, and defensive guidance.
The detailed PhishDestroy AI analysis below remains in English to preserve the original forensic record.
Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
This domain, app.kyq.finance, was registered on 5 December 2025 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and is currently resolved to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which belongs to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. in the United States. The site presents the page title “KYO Finance” and is classified as a crypto drainer that employs a Wallet Connect abuse kit to harvest cryptocurrency wallets and seed phrases. The underlying scam type is identified as Wallet/Seed Phishing, targeting users of the foundation brand, as indicated by the impersonation of “foundation” in the phishing narrative. The TLS certificate is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 designation, and the connection is terminated via Cloudflare’s HTTP/3 stack, returning an HTTP 301 redirect on request.
Reputation checks show a Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100, confirming a lack of trust. Eight of ninety‑five security scanners on VirusTotal have flagged the domain, and the domain appears on two external blocklists. It has already been added to the blocklists of PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer, confirming active mitigation by third‑party defenses. The nameservers cass.ns.cloudflare.com and anirban.ns.cloudflare.com further confirm Cloudflare hosting.
The evidence demonstrates that the infrastructure is intentionally leveraged to redirect victims to a malicious Wallet Connect endpoint, but the exact payload or landing page content has not been publicly disclosed. Defenders should block the domain at perimeter firewalls, DNS resolvers, and proxy filters, enforce SSL inspection to detect the 301 redirect, and monitor for any connections to the associated IP address. Incident response teams should also add the domain to internal threat intel feeds, correlate logs for Wallet Connect usage, and consider automated takedown requests to the registrar and Cloudflare. Continuous monitoring of the IP reputation and the two blocklists is advised, as the campaign remains active.

If credentials were compromised, report immediately. Do not engage with recovery scammers.
If a wallet, seed phrase, or account was exposed, report the incident immediately. Revoke approvals and move remaining assets to a new wallet created on a trusted device.
Beware of recovery scammers! Recovery scammers may pose as investigators, lawyers, or tracing services. Do not pay upfront fees or disclose credentials. Guaranteed crypto recovery is a fraud indicator. Learn more about recovery fraud →

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
