# PhishDestroy threat dossier — defillaio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 18:01:26 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/defillaio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 12/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.133.78 (US, San Francisco) Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: laylah.ns.cloudflare.com, olof.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-14 Expires: 2027-05-14 Page title: Defillama: DeFi TVL, Yields, Protocols and Chain Data ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-12 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 2d867df992f92bc739b19e3c6fea43442031d24970e46e08ce3dcc8b9c3cd09a ## 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: 2026-05-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-28 06:21:37 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-28 06:21:33 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 18:17:28 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-17 00:35:21 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e6c99-3d70-7671-9899-c524b9c8910f/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/defillaio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.defillaio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=defillaio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/defillaio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/defillaio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 04:38:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, defillaio.com, operates as a crypto drainer targeting users of the legitimate DeFi analytics platform DefiLlama. Analysis indicates the site mimics DefiLlama’s branding, including an identical page title, "Defillama: DeFi TVL, Yields, Protocols and Chain Data," to deceive victims into connecting wallets. The threat actor likely employed a drainer kit designed to siphon cryptocurrency assets upon interaction, a common tactic in DeFi-related fraud schemes. No specific drainer kit variant has been attributed to this domain at this time, but the impersonation pattern aligns with known crypto drainer operations. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on May 14, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with malicious domains. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.133.78, which is proxied through Cloudflare, obscuring the origin server. The domain is flagged by 12 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100. It appears on three security blocklists and is actively blocked by MetaMask, PhishDestroy, and SEAL. Detection by Google Safe Browsing (GSB) is not explicitly noted, but the domain’s high-risk classification is consistent with known malicious infrastructure. The domain is currently offline, likely due to takedown efforts or the threat actor abandoning the campaign. However, the risk of re-emergence remains, as the infrastructure (registrar, hosting provider) is still accessible. Users who interacted with the domain should assume wallet compromise and take immediate action, including revoking connected dApp permissions, transferring assets to a new wallet, and monitoring for unauthorized transactions. Organizations should update blocklists to include defillaio.com and its associated IP (172.67.133.78) to prevent future exposure. Continuous monitoring of newly registered domains with similar naming patterns (e.g., typosquatting DefiLlama) is recommended to mitigate related threats. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 12/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 65382e0ad635a7e962220224fb321f00 TLS cert SHA-256: 2d867df992f92bc739b19e3c6fea43442031d24970e46e08ce3dcc8b9c3cd09a ## 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 (operator 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/defillaio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=defillaio.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
