# PhishDestroy threat dossier — cryptohelpdesk.online ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-06 19:11:24 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/cryptohelpdesk.online/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 84/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Tech Support Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Gridinsoft, Seclookup, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 82.25.102.218 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: ASAS47583 Hostinger International Limited Hosting org: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB Nameservers: ns1.dns-parking.com, ns2.dns-parking.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2027-01-27 Page title: CryptoHelpDesk HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-02 12:19:34 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-06 21:02:15 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-12 00:07:04 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/019c1e19-6b3f-7049-9015-03812790d48f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8659e628-52f2-40f9-8502-31c2e188aa6b Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/cryptohelpdesk.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.cryptohelpdesk.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=cryptohelpdesk.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/cryptohelpdesk.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/cryptohelpdesk.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 03:40:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies cryptohelpdesk.online as a medium-risk crypto drainer phishing domain designed to steal cryptocurrency assets from unsuspecting users. Although this domain is currently offline, it was active long enough to appear on multiple security blocklists and threat intelligence feeds, signaling a real threat to crypto holders. Users should remain vigilant as new variants may emerge. This phishing scheme operated by impersonating a crypto help desk service, tricking victims into providing private keys or wallet credentials. By masquerading under a legitimate-sounding name and hosted through a known provider, the actors attempted to gain trust and siphon funds from wallets directly. The domain’s presence on threat pulses and blocklists confirms its use in active campaigns targeting crypto enthusiasts. To stay safe, users should never share private keys or sensitive wallet information with unsolicited contacts or unknown websites. Always verify URLs carefully and use official channels for crypto support. Employing hardware wallets and two-factor authentication adds extra layers of protection. If you suspect compromise, immediately transfer assets to a secure wallet and report suspicious domains to security platforms like PhishDestroy. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260202-1C2D36 Favicon SHA-256: 26a7e7b9d4bb9948771c126085b99fba6546af4399e6263e8a69a3e33f6271cb ## 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/cryptohelpdesk.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cryptohelpdesk.online 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.
