Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an elevated-risk crypto wallet impersonation threat targeting users attempting to download Atomic Wallet software. The site mimics the legitimate Atomic Wallet desktop application for Windows, likely distributing malicious payloads designed to drain cryptocurrency from victims' wallets upon installation. Analysis indicates the domain was specifically crafted to exploit trust in the Atomic Wallet brand, a common tactic in cryptocurrency theft campaigns. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain atomicdesktopinstaller.xyz was registered on June 12, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolved to IP address 64.29.17.1 and used a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. At the time of detection, 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is currently blocked by PhishDestroy. The page title, 'Atomic Wallet Desktop for Windows — Download,' directly mirrors the legitimate Atomic Wallet download page, reinforcing the impersonation scheme. The domain has since been taken offline, though historical DNS records may still pose residual risks. Mitigation steps for this crypto wallet impersonation threat include immediately blocking the domain and associated IP (64.29.17.1) at the network perimeter. Organizations should update endpoint protection rules to detect and prevent execution of binaries downloaded from this domain. Users who may have interacted with the site should be instructed to disconnect affected devices from networks, revoke any wallet permissions granted to unknown applications, and transfer assets to new, secure wallets. Security teams should monitor for indicators of compromise, including unexpected wallet transactions or unauthorized access to cryptocurrency accounts. Verification of all software downloads should be enforced, with users directed to official vendor sources only. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-6BEDAC TLS cert SHA-256: b87ceef45eb16b64d61835f68e921a03562daf8db301e511b673887d59cf4522 ## 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/atomicdesktopinstaller.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=atomicdesktopinstaller.xyz 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.
