MEDIUM

The domain backpack-app.io is a fraudulent website posing as a cryptocurrency exchange and wallet service. It claims to handle transactions for popular cryptocurrencies such as Solana, Ethereum, and Bitcoin. The domain has a low VirusTotal detection score of 2/95 and is flagged by Scamadviser with a trust score of only 1, indicating it is very likely unsafe. Such phishing attempts can lead to significant financial losses for victims.

Registered just three days ago with NAMECHEAP INC, the domain is suspected of being part of a larger scam network. The WHOIS information is hidden, raising further red flags regarding the legitimacy of its ownership. Additionally, it shares IP address 67.223.118.183 with multiple low-rated websites, and Scamadviser warns that the registrar is commonly associated with scams.

Currently, backpack-app.io is taken down, and PhishDestroy has reported the domain, ensuring it is blocklisted to prevent further access. Continuous monitoring is in place to track any potential re-emergence of this threat, safeguarding users from similar scams in the future.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →
