# PhishDestroy threat dossier — chan-gelly.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-02 13:00:20 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/chan-gelly.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 69/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 176.125.242.151 (MD, Chisinau) ASN: AS200019 ALEXHOST SRL Hosting org: Alexhost SRL Registrar: Dynadot Inc Nameservers: ["ns1.dyna-ns.net", "ns2.dyna-ns.net"] Registered: 2026-04-26 Page title: Changelly | Exchange & Swap Platform ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-06-23 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: f7007e48d44768115c639fbc47673649fe88dd0fc3667edf46a1f720d3a38428 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.chan-gelly.com ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-26 17:06:57 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-26 14:09:06 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-30 19:40:22 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-30 17:03:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dca1b-179c-7635-907e-2b0e65f34954/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/cf68192f-f813-47f6-a734-c10be3324cf6 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/chan-gelly.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.chan-gelly.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=chan-gelly.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/chan-gelly.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/chan-gelly.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-26 17:08:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies chan-gelly.com as an active crypto drainer impersonating the legitimate Changelly exchange platform. This fraudulent domain poses a high risk to cryptocurrency users seeking to trade or swap assets, as it is designed to siphon funds into attacker-controlled wallets. The site exploits the trust associated with the Changelly brand to deceive visitors into connecting their wallets or entering sensitive data, resulting in irreversible financial losses. Users must exercise extreme caution and avoid interacting with this domain entirely. This domain exhibits multiple red flags confirmed by PhishDestroy’s investigation. chan-gelly.com was registered through Dynadot Inc on March 25, 2026, and resolves to IP address 176.125.242.151. Despite being only weeks old, it currently shows 0 detections out of 95 on VirusTotal, indicating it evades traditional antivirus detection. The site uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, a common tactic to appear legitimate, but this does not guarantee safety. The page title intentionally mirrors Changelly’s branding to enhance deception. Given its active status and zero detections, this domain requires immediate user avoidance and reporting. To mitigate the threat posed by chan-gelly.com, users must follow strict safety protocols. First, avoid visiting or interacting with the domain under any circumstances. If you accidentally land on the site, do not connect your wallet, enter credentials, or provide any personal or financial data. Verify URLs carefully—legitimate Changelly domains include changelly.com or changelly.pro. Use reputable browser extensions or tools like PhishDestroy to check domain reputation in real time. If you suspect exposure, revoke any unintended wallet connections immediately using your wallet’s security settings. Always cross-reference URLs with official brand sources before engaging in transactions. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260426-DDE592 Favicon MD5: 0f116336d0e9a53610b9154ec7c7fbcd TLS cert SHA-256: f7007e48d44768115c639fbc47673649fe88dd0fc3667edf46a1f720d3a38428 ## 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/chan-gelly.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=chan-gelly.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.
