Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies blockdagdesktop.live as a live cryptocurrency drainer phishing domain, not merely a generic phishing page. This site masquerades as a legitimate BlockDAG desktop application, luring users into downloading a malicious installer. The drainer kit is designed to siphon cryptocurrency assets from victims' wallets upon wallet connection or transaction signing. No specific brand impersonation (e.g., Ledger, MetaMask) has been detected yet, but the site’s structure suggests a targeted campaign against crypto users interested in BlockDAG or similar blockchain projects. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy under investigation for cryptocurrency drainer activity. Technical indicators confirm its malicious nature: VirusTotal shows 0/95 detections at time of analysis, it is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, resolves to IP 64.29.17.1, and was created on April 08, 2026. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, and Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not yet flagged it. It remains unblocked on major browsers and security platforms. As of this assessment, blockdagdesktop.live is active and distributing malicious payloads. Immediate action includes blocking the domain at the network level and disabling access via corporate or personal DNS filters. The domain’s recent creation and low detection rate (0/95 on VT) indicate a newly deployed threat with high potential for evasion. Users are advised to avoid downloading software from unverified sources and to verify any BlockDAG-related applications through official channels. Remaining risk is classified as high due to active distribution and lack of widespread detection. Monitor updates as this investigation continues. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 10/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260411-8A175C Favicon MD5: 293d3f716af9693ac15909fb004afd73 TLS cert SHA-256: 8e101b8a5cb4d8f5e54c6ada6f8de6390f13f84612da01adce913d67d1f021ab ## 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/blockdagdesktop.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=blockdagdesktop.live 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.
