This domain is flagged for hosting a generic phishing campaign designed to mimic identity verification portals. Analysis indicates the threat type involves credential harvesting through fake login interfaces, presenting an elevated risk to users who may inadvertently disclose sensitive authentication details. The campaign does not appear to target a specific brand but instead employs a broad, opportunistic approach to deceive victims. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain defendid[.]us was registered on May 11, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 52.204.246.179, located within the AWS EC2 us-east-1 region. The domain is secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate issued by the R13 intermediate authority, a common tactic to lend superficial legitimacy to phishing sites. Detection metrics show 14 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain as malicious. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is currently blocked by PhishDestroy. At the time of assessment, the domain has been taken offline, though its prior operational status suggests active exploitation attempts. Mitigation against this threat type requires heightened user awareness and technical controls. Organizations should implement email filtering rules to quarantine messages containing links to newly registered domains or those with low reputation scores. Endpoint protection systems should be configured to block access to domains flagged by multiple security vendors, particularly those with detection counts exceeding 10/95 on VirusTotal. Users should be trained to scrutinize domain names, SSL certificate issuers, and unexpected verification requests, especially those originating from unsolicited communications. Network administrators are advised to monitor for connections to the IP address 52.204.246.179 and domains registered within the same timeframe, as these may indicate related malicious infrastructure.

Domain Appeal
Contest this listing if false positive
Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with defendid.us — 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
defendid.us) - 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
