Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies crypto-wallet.cyou as an active brand impersonation threat targeting Crypto.com users. This malicious domain poses as a cryptocurrency wallet service to trick visitors into connecting wallets or entering credentials, thereby enabling crypto drainer operations. The site lures victims with a familiar brand name while hosting content designed to harvest private keys, seed phrases, or authorize malicious transactions. Traffic redirected to this domain may result in irreversible financial loss as drained assets are moved to attacker-controlled addresses within seconds. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with seed 959fdd after analysis revealed multiple red flags. The domain resolves to IP 159.203.143.218 and was created on April 13, 2026, making it a recently deployed threat. It uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate and is registered through NicNames, Inc. Despite zero detections on VirusTotal (0/95 engines), behavioral analysis confirms intent to impersonate Crypto.com. The domain remains active and is under active monitoring for further IOC expansion. If you visited crypto-wallet.cyou, immediately disconnect your device from the internet to prevent further communication with the attacker's infrastructure. Do not interact with any prompts, wallet connection requests, or transaction approvals on the site. Scan your device using reputable antivirus and change passwords for all related accounts, especially your Crypto.com login, using a different, secure device. Report any unauthorized transactions to Crypto.com support and consider revoking connected wallet permissions via blockchain explorers or wallet apps. Monitor your accounts for suspicious activity and enable two-factor authentication where available. If you entered your seed phrase or private key, transfer remaining funds to a new wallet immediately and consider all funds on connected addresses compromised. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: d7ec5d841d478f6ae26d66815e9653d2 TLS cert SHA-256: adb9913f43f993af9fdd583de3e9c88e8be477df6caa4758168a4cb56e11eac6 ## 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/crypto-wallet.cyou/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=crypto-wallet.cyou 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.
