Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, claim-genius.xyz, operates as a crypto drainer designed to compromise digital wallet credentials and automatically siphon cryptocurrency assets without user consent. Analysis indicates the site impersonates a legitimate crypto trading platform, using deceptive branding elements such as the title 'Genius Points • Trade Crypto Like a Genius' to lure victims into connecting their wallets. Once a user interacts with the site, embedded malicious JavaScript executes unauthorized transactions, draining funds to attacker-controlled addresses. The threat primarily targets users of browser-based wallet extensions, exploiting their trust in seemingly authentic trading interfaces. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-confidence indicators of malicious activity. The domain was registered on May 22, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with fraudulent domains. It currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and is flagged by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, including detection as a crypto drainer. Additionally, the domain appears on three security blocklists and is actively blocked by multiple wallet security tools, further confirming its malicious intent. The SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services provides a false sense of security, as encrypted connections do not mitigate the underlying threat posed by the site's scripts. Users who have visited claim-genius.xyz or interacted with its content should take immediate action to secure their assets. First, disconnect any wallets linked to the domain and revoke all associated smart contract approvals using a trusted blockchain explorer. Next, scan the device for malware, as crypto drainers may deploy additional payloads to maintain persistence. Monitor all connected wallets for unauthorized transactions and transfer remaining funds to a new, secure wallet address. If assets were compromised, report the incident to relevant blockchain analytics platforms and local cybercrime authorities, providing transaction hashes and any interaction logs as evidence. Vigilance is critical, as crypto drainers often employ social engineering tactics to re-target victims through phishing emails or fake recovery services. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260627-44A222 Favicon MD5: b5c227b8c2613d35034fa3b2a9f7ca25 TLS cert SHA-256: b6741735b470bcbee80d2832fc291e9289f0bf78be73a0c4df82f01ff24c350c ## 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/claim-genius.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=claim-genius.xyz 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.
