Open reportelectrum-about.online is an Electrum impersonation page detected by PhishDestroy on 2026-01-21.
“Electrum About - Official Info”
PhishDestroy threat report
On July 25 2026 analysts observed that the domain electrum-about.online is currently offline but retains indicators of a phishing infrastructure targeting users of the Electrum cryptocurrency wallet. The domain was registered through Beget LLC on 21 February 2026 and resolves to the IPv4 address 45.130.41.250, which belongs to AS198610 (Beget LLC) and is geolocated in Russia. Authoritative name servers are ns1.expired.beget.com and ns2.expired.beget.com, both consistent with the registrar’s infrastructure. No TLS certificate was presented for the site, indicating that the service operated only over HTTP.
The page title returned by the server was “Electrum About – Official Info,” suggesting an attempt to masquerade as official Electrum documentation. VirusTotal recorded detections from 2 of 93 AV engines, and the domain appears on three public blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100, reinforcing the malicious assessment. The lack of SSL, low trust score, and presence on multiple phishing‑focused blocklists collectively confirm the elevated risk rating.
Because the site is presently taken offline, active probing is limited, and no further content analysis (e.g., HTML form structure or credential harvesting mechanisms) is available. The primary open‑source evidence consists of DNS resolution, registrar data, blocklist listings, and the minimal page title. Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeter and DNS resolvers, monitor for any resurgence of the host, and consider adding the IP address 45.130.41.250 to reputation‑based deny lists. Threat‑intel sharing platforms should be updated with the observed indicators, and endpoint detection rules should be tuned to flag any attempts to contact the domain or its associated IP.

No. PhishDestroy classifies electrum-about.online as an Electrum impersonation page (risk: high, 56/100); it was first detected on 2026-01-21. VirusTotal: 2/93 engines flag it. Treat the site as unsafe.
No. Do not connect a wallet, sign messages or approve tokens on electrum-about.online. Phishing sites ask for approvals (approve, setApprovalForAll, Permit2) that let the operator move your assets, and a confirmed transaction cannot be reversed.
Change every password you entered there and turn on two-factor authentication. If you connected a wallet or signed something, revoke the approvals and move the remaining funds to a new wallet; never share your seed phrase. Step-by-step help: emergency guide.
