MEDIUM

The domain defirisk.io is currently active and represents a potential phishing threat, impersonating legitimate decentralized finance services. With a VirusTotal detection score of 3/95, this site is flagged by multiple security services. Scamadviser advises caution, rating it at 51/100, and notes concerns regarding the use of WHOIS privacy services to conceal the owner’s identity.

The site resolves to the IP address 216.198.79.1, which may be shared with other suspicious activities. While it possesses a valid SSL certificate, this does not guarantee its legitimacy.

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 →
