# PhishDestroy threat dossier — coldcard-wallet-review.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-30 22:24:43 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/coldcard-wallet-review.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 80/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Wallet Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Spaceship, Inc. Nameservers: ["alfred.ns.cloudflare.com", "ximena.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-11 Page title: Coldcard Hardware Wallet Review 2025 | Independent & Objective HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-07-09 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: cc6352f36ecc2d8064585c88776cc863156735d9ec49772aa306750d21b1e7d6 ## 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: 2026-04-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-11 07:45:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-11 04:46:18 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-30 18:07:02 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-29 00:02:24 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d7ad9-ff8c-736d-a972-26f9dbcff3c5/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/2bbe59e7-3605-4495-af26-a519657ff6b8 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/coldcard-wallet-review.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.coldcard-wallet-review.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=coldcard-wallet-review.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/coldcard-wallet-review.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/coldcard-wallet-review.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-11 07:46:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies coldcard-wallet-review.com as a live domain hosting a cryptocurrency drainer campaign impersonating Coldcard Wallet hardware devices. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors as of the latest scan, indicating it remains undetected by most antivirus engines. Registered through Spaceship, Inc., the domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and was created on April 09, 2026. Despite its recent registration, it already serves a fraudulent review page titled 'Coldcard Hardware Wallet Review 2025 | Independent & Objective' and holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. Current threat intelligence shows zero blocklist detections, suggesting this domain is actively evading detection mechanisms. The domain exhibits high-risk characteristics typical of crypto drainer operations, leveraging impersonation of a legitimate hardware wallet brand to deceive users seeking hardware wallet reviews. Technical indicators include the absence of antivirus detection, recent domain registration, and the use of a trusted SSL certificate to enhance credibility. While the domain is currently active and undetected, its association with crypto drainer infrastructure poses a significant risk to cryptocurrency users. Security teams are advised to block this domain at the network level and monitor for related infrastructure. Users should verify wallet reviews through official channels and exercise extreme caution when encountering unsolicited hardware wallet reviews or promotions. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260411-B011A2 Favicon MD5: 8c13f40658976ea1dfb8ba37a8be0e8d TLS cert SHA-256: cc6352f36ecc2d8064585c88776cc863156735d9ec49772aa306750d21b1e7d6 ## 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/coldcard-wallet-review.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coldcard-wallet-review.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.
