No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-21 17:51:45 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:15:13 UTC (STALE — 22 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-03-15 06:12:30 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 22 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 22 days stale) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019be109-bdc8-770c-9f47-364f1efd8904/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/electrum-about.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.electrum-about.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=electrum-about.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/electrum-about.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/electrum-about.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:15:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies electrum-about.online as a phishing domain that attempts to impersonate official Electrum wallet information pages. The domain was flagged for generic phishing activity, likely aiming to deceive users into divulging sensitive data related to cryptocurrency wallets. Although the risk level is assessed as low, such sites can still compromise user security by mimicking trusted brands. The domain was registered through Beget LLC and resolved to the IP address 45.130.41.250. It appeared on three separate security blocklists and received a zero trust score from Gridinsoft, indicating a lack of reputation and increased suspicion. VirusTotal analysis showed only 2 out of 95 security vendors flagged the domain, suggesting limited but credible detection of malicious behavior. Notably, the domain was created on February 21, 2026, which is a future date, indicating possible data inaccuracies or test entries. Currently, electrum-about.online is offline, which reduces immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends that users remain vigilant and avoid interacting with any suspicious domains claiming to represent Electrum or other cryptocurrency services. Always verify URLs through official channels and use trusted sources to access wallet information. Maintaining updated security software and consulting reliable blocklists can further safeguard users from similar phishing attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 9710e8cbffe126e9988d02eb9c97a8446aca7b6400ed4d7dc7ae17d074f496ff ## 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/electrum-about.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=electrum-about.online 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.
