Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies defi-walletconnect-io.onrender.com as a high-risk crypto drainer impersonating WalletConnect. This site is actively hosting the Wallet Connect Abuse drainer kit designed to siphon cryptocurrency from victims’ wallets by tricking users into connecting their wallets under the guise of a legitimate WalletConnect interface. This domain resolves to IP 216.24.57.7 and leverages a Google Trust Services SSL certificate to appear legitimate. VirusTotal reports a detection score of 5/95 security vendors, indicating partial recognition of the threat. Render Services Inc. is listed as the hosting provider, while the unique seed b8639e ties this infrastructure to previously documented drainer campaigns. The domain was registered recently and has already been added to multiple blocklists due to its malicious behavior. As of the latest assessment, defi-walletconnect-io.onrender.com remains active and poses an ongoing risk to cryptocurrency users. Immediate avoidance is strongly advised; users should never connect wallets or input seed phrases on this domain. Security teams have flagged this site, and browser-based protections such as Google Safe Browsing are recommended to block access. Despite these measures, the threat remains dynamic, and users must exercise extreme caution when interacting with WalletConnect-related links to prevent financial loss. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f0604c9534c580d3223df9c7a350a0ac ## 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/defi-walletconnect-io.onrender.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=defi-walletconnect-io.onrender.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.
