The site masquerades as a Dogecoin lending platform, promising unsecured loans up to $15,000 at a suspiciously low 16.0% APR. In reality, it functions as a drainage tool that silently drains connected wallets of crypto assets once users interact with it, often through fake loan approval or wallet connection prompts. Victims risk losing all funds stored in connected wallets with no recourse, making this a particularly dangerous threat in the growing landscape of crypto-based scams. This type of attack preys on users seeking quick loans or high-yield opportunities, leveraging urgency and low fees to bypass skepticism. PhishDestroy identifies this domain as a crypto drainer phishing site based on several concrete indicators. The domain was flagged by only 1 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors as of the latest scan, suggesting low detection due to its recent creation and rapidly evolving tactics. It was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on July 18, 2025, a mere three months ago, and resolves to the IP address 216.198.79.1. The domain uses a legitimate SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt, likely to appear trustworthy to unsuspecting users. Its recent registration date and low VT detection rate indicate an agile, short-lived operation typical of crypto drainers aiming to exploit temporary trust. If you visited borrow-dogecoin.com or interacted with it in any way, take immediate action to protect your assets. First, disconnect your wallet from the site if you connected it, and revoke any suspicious permissions through your wallet’s interface or a reputable tool like revoke.cash. Next, transfer any remaining funds to a new wallet with a fresh private key, ensuring the old wallet is no longer used. Finally, scan your devices for malware using trusted antivirus software, as crypto drainers often deploy stealthy malware to monitor and steal wallet credentials. Report the incident to your wallet provider and relevant authorities, such as the FTC or local cybercrime units, to help disrupt these operations. Always verify the legitimacy of financial platforms by checking official sources, user reviews, and community feedback before engaging with any crypto-related service. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260418-D6A60F Favicon MD5: d85a2e44a8e86a2b8dab0537c23fa9bb TLS cert SHA-256: 7db0f84a2e6feb5ac620b6d24743f0937360bc4acf859c628ab2f9ba6aa495a2 ## 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/borrow-dogecoin.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=borrow-dogecoin.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.
