Why this matters — ICANN RAA §3.18 obligation & victim-assistance
On PhishDestroy delivered an evidence-backed abuse report
(repeated 3 times, most recently ) to abuse@identitydigital.com with VirusTotal detections, urlscan capture, legal violations, and full screenshot evidence.
More than 32 hours later, the phishing infrastructure remains reachable
.
Under ICANN RAA §3.18 accredited registrars are contractually obliged to “take reasonable and prompt steps to investigate and respond appropriately to any reports of abuse.” Silence beyond 24 hours after a documented notification with verifiable evidence is not a timing issue — it is a policy decision to let the operation continue. PhishDestroy\'s position: where a registrar fails to act on clear evidence, the registrar has aligned itself with the operator of the scheme and bears co-responsibility for downstream harm caused to victims from the moment of notification onward.
Victim-assistance obligation. If Identitydigital doesn't consider the listed detections enough proof — that is interesting in itself, given the volume of independent vendor confirmations. But after 3 separate notifications over 32 hours, with the operation still active, the registrar took no measurable action to mitigate the harm caused by their client. The reasonable next step is direct help to any identified victims — contact & payment-trail disclosure, abuse-thread transcripts, registrant data preservation — since the registrar chose, by inaction, to extend the window of damage.

VirusTotal records show that the domain was submitted for analysis to 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation vendors; none of the vendors returned a detection at the time of scanning. The absence of detections does not constitute a safety guarantee, as phishing infrastructure can evade automated scanners. No public information is available regarding SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, page title, or any observed landing page content, so the exact phishing payload or targeted brand remains unknown. The limited age of the domain—registered only two days before the report date—suggests a rapid deployment typical of opportunistic phishing campaigns.
Defenders should continue to monitor DNS queries for 186.2.175.35 and consider adding the domain to local deny lists. Network security devices that support URL filtering should be updated to block connections to the domain, and any inbound or outbound traffic to the associated IP address should be logged for further investigation. Because the domain is already listed on a blocklist and is being intercepted by PhishDestroy, organizations that have not yet deployed these controls should prioritize their implementation. Ongoing threat‑intel feeds should be consulted for any future changes, such as additional blocklist listings, detection updates, or observed malicious content.

For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN contract. ICANN collects annual, variable and transaction-based fees tied to registrations, renewals and transfers.
Accreditation: monetized. Accountability: please check back later.
Then the magic starts: ICANN writes RAA §3.18, the registrar investigates abuse inside its own customer base, and victims deliver the evidence for free while every layer waits for someone else to act. If that makes victims feel safer, excellent—the invoice worked.

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with connected-api.pro — act now.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
- Revoke token approvals — use revoke.cash to remove access granted to malicious smart contracts
- Move remaining funds to a brand-new wallet. The compromised wallet is no longer safe
- Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
- Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
- Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
According to the FBI, the most important details are transaction data:
- Cryptocurrency addresses — scammer's wallet (e.g.,
0x5856...35985) - Amount & crypto type — exact amount (e.g., 1.02345 ETH, 0.5 BTC, 500 USDT)
- Transaction ID (hash) — the unique blockchain transaction identifier
- Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
- Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
- All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including
connected-api.pro) - Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
- FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
- Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
- Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
- Your crypto exchange — contact Coinbase/Binance/Kraken support to freeze scammer's address
- Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
The FBI recovered over $1 billion in crypto fraud in 2024 thanks to victim reports. Your report matters.
How do crypto scams typically work?
- Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
- Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
- Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
- Recovery scams — victims targeted AGAIN by fake "recovery agents" demanding upfront fees. Always a scam
- Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
- AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
- Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
- Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
- Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
- Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
- "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
How big is the crypto scam problem?
- $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 — CoinLedger
- Pig butchering losses grew 40% year over year, now the fastest-growing fraud type
- Only ~5% of victims report — your report helps shut down criminal networks
- FBI recovered $1B+ in 2024 thanks to victim reports — FBI.gov
