# PhishDestroy threat dossier — appwallets--connects.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-22 01:43:00 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/appwallets--connects.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer Targeted brand: WalletConnect ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 18/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, CyRadar, Ermes, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, LevelBlue, Lionic, OpenPhish, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.222.160 Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-12 17:12:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-12 17:12:07 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-22 00:20:33 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-17 00:33:22 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ebc62-1cc7-7214-aac8-814faa5ebc52/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/appwallets--connects.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.appwallets--connects.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=appwallets--connects.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/appwallets--connects.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/appwallets--connects.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-13 11:29:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies appwallets--connects.com as a high-risk domain, specifically a crypto drainer, which poses a significant threat to users' cryptocurrency assets. This domain was flagged due to various alarming indicators, including 8 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagging it as malicious, its registration through NameSilo, LLC, and resolution to IP address 172.67.222.160, with an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services / WE1, and considering its current active status. To mitigate the risks associated with crypto drainer threats, users should avoid interacting with appwallets--connects.com, refrain from entering sensitive information or cryptocurrency wallet details, and ensure their devices and wallets are protected with up-to-date security software, utilizing the unique seed fe0a59 to enhance security measures, ultimately protecting their assets from potential drainage ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3c1378d54608925fe1dff523c02e4f7a TLS cert SHA-256: 80c1662f042540c788a4160f515198e1916716382db6e854c6ce8a94b8daead0 ## 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/appwallets--connects.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=appwallets--connects.com 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.
