Analyst Security Overview

AI-Generated

The domain cardano-change.com was created to impersonate legitimate cryptocurrency platforms, posing a risk to users seeking to interact with Cardano-related services. With a VirusTotal detection score of 17 out of 95, it highlights its malicious intent. PhishDestroy identified this site as a phishing threat, which is further corroborated by its presence on various blocklists and a suspicious reputation.

Its IP address, 198.18.0.99, is associated with shared hosting services, often utilized by malicious actors to host phishing sites.

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 →
