No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-14 19:42:25 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-27 02:53:09 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d8cda-075a-70fb-b867-1dc736c5d9f4/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/desktopwallet-installer.info crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.desktopwallet-installer.info Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=desktopwallet-installer.info AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/desktopwallet-installer.info URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/desktopwallet-installer.info/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-14 19:43:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies desktopwallet-installer.info as a live crypto drainer campaign targeting cryptocurrency users under seed f77b4f. The domain mimics a legitimate wallet installer to trick victims into executing malicious payloads designed to siphon digital assets. No specific brand is impersonated in available telemetry, suggesting a generic but targeted approach to deceive users seeking wallet software. The campaign leverages a crypto drainer kit, a class of malware engineered to empty victim wallets by replacing transaction addresses with attacker-controlled ones. This domain was flagged with a VirusTotal detection score of 0/95 as of the last scan, indicating full evasion of current antivirus signatures and sandbox detections. It resolves to IP 216.198.79.65 and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The domain was created on April 10, 2026, and currently carries a valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, enhancing its appearance of legitimacy. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status remains unlisted, and blocklist counts are at zero, reflecting a newly active and undetected threat vector. The campaign is classified as active and under investigation with moderate to high risk potential due to its drainer payload and low detection footprint. Immediate actions include adding the domain, IP, and SSL fingerprint to organizational and personal blocklists. Users should avoid downloading any files from this domain and verify wallet software only from official sources. Though currently undetected, the threat could escalate rapidly—continuous monitoring and proactive threat hunting are recommended to prevent asset loss. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c030044782985541a4785e019b919dfc TLS cert SHA-256: b7b7ff94931b041e98e2b23317a86a92e2eeed37c03dded16c31b73577e9e167 ## 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/desktopwallet-installer.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=desktopwallet-installer.info 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.
