Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, cryptorecoveryneeds.com, is flagged as a generic phishing threat under investigation. It impersonates a cryptocurrency recovery service, likely designed to trick victims of prior crypto scams into providing sensitive information or making payments under false pretenses. The domain's name suggests an offer to recover lost digital assets, a common lure used by malicious actors to exploit user desperation. Infrastructure analysis indicates the domain is active and resolving to IP address 160.153.0.49, with an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend a false sense of legitimacy to visitors. Technical indicators provide key evidence for this assessment. VirusTotal analysis shows 0 detections out of 95 scanners, meaning the domain has not yet been flagged by security vendors—a common tactic for newly deployed phishing sites. The domain was registered on August 19, 2025, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and its current status remains active. Notably, there are no blocklist hits recorded, which further underscores the domain's fresh deployment and low visibility in threat intelligence feeds. The combination of a recent creation date, zero detection rate, and a theme targeting crypto recovery makes this a high-risk domain for users seeking financial restitution. Users who have visited cryptorecoveryneeds.com should take immediate action. Do not enter any personal information, wallet credentials, or financial data. Run a full system scan with updated security software to check for malware or tracking elements. Change passwords for any accounts accessed from the same device or browser session, and enable two-factor authentication where possible. Monitor financial accounts for unauthorized transactions and report any suspicious activity to relevant authorities. If credentials or payment details were submitted, assume compromise and secure all associated accounts without delay.

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/cryptorecoveryneeds.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cryptorecoveryneeds.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.
