# defcointech.com — SUSPICIOUS > PhishDestroy identifies defcointech.com running a cryptocurrency deflation scam since April 14, 2025. The domain shows 0/95 VirusTotal detections — check the. ## Summary PhishDestroy identifies defcointech.com as a live cryptocurrency deflation scam site masquerading as “Deflation Coin,” the supposed first algorithmically deflationary token. The domain is weaponized with a generic drainer kit that pretends to credit users for “staking” or “burning” coins while silently draining connected wallets. No legitimate brand or project has been linked to the threat, suggesting an outright impersonation designed to harvest private keys and seed phrases under the guise of “Deflation Coin” rewards. The page title and branding leverage the promise of algorithmic deflation to lure crypto holders seeking high-yield or novelty assets. Technical indicators confirm the campaign’s early-stage but active status. VirusTotal shows zero detections out of 95 engines as of the latest scan. The domain resolves to IP 35.231.154.154 and is registered through GMO Internet, Inc. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt, a common tactic to appear legitimate. The domain was created on April 14, 2025, indicating a very recent registration timed to exploit emerging interest. Current Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status is unknown at time of writing, and public blocklists have not yet flagged the domain, leaving it open for continued abuse. The threat remains active and under investigation with a risk level classified as under_investigation. Immediate response actions include takedown outreach to hosting provider and SSL issuer, domain registrar, and GSB for priority review. Users should apply strict wallet allow-listing, disable browser notifications from unknown sites, and verify any crypto project through official channels only. The remaining risk is assessed as elevated due to zero detections, fresh infrastructure, and unblocked status, making this a high-value target for opportunistic attackers seeking to exploit the deflationary crypto narrative. ## Threat Details - Verdict: SUSPICIOUS - Site status: unknown (HTTP ?) - Page title: Deflation Coin - the first cryptocurrency with algorithmic deflation ## Domain Intelligence - Registered: 2025-04-14 18:15:53 - Registrar: GMO Internet, Inc. - IP: 35.231.154.154 ## Detection Status - VirusTotal: 0 vendors flagged - Google Safe Browsing: clean - Blocklists: 0 hits ## Evidence - Cloudflare Radar: https://radar.cloudflare.com/scan/7d013474-c0b6-4e0c-81c0-852381c8c361 - PhishDestroy: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/defcointech.com/ - LLM endpoint: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/defcointech.com/llm.txt ## If You Visited This Site 1.
