Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, ellipalpcapp.com, is flagged as a high-risk phishing threat targeting cryptocurrency users by impersonating a legitimate desktop wallet application. The site presents itself as a secure portfolio management tool for crypto assets, a tactic designed to exploit trust in established wallet providers. Analysis indicates the domain is engineered to harvest login credentials, private keys, or seed phrases, which could lead to unauthorized access and theft of digital assets from victims' wallets. The threat type is classified as generic phishing with a cryptocurrency-specific vector, increasing its potential impact on financially motivated targets. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators of malicious intent. The domain was registered on June 11, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with fraudulent domains. It resolves to the IP address 64.29.17.65, hosted on Amazon Web Services (AS16509), a common infrastructure choice for phishing campaigns due to its scalability and perceived legitimacy. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (YR1), which, while providing encryption, is often exploited by threat actors to lend false credibility to malicious sites. Detection metrics further substantiate the risk: VirusTotal reports 4 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, while it appears on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy. The domain remains operational as of the latest assessment, indicating an ongoing threat. Mitigation against this phishing campaign requires a multi-layered approach tailored to cryptocurrency security. Users should verify domain authenticity by cross-referencing official sources, as legitimate wallet providers will never solicit credentials via unsolicited links. Cryptographic asset holders are advised to enable multi-factor authentication on all accounts and use hardware wallets for sensitive transactions, as these are less susceptible to phishing attacks. Network-level protections, such as DNS filtering or endpoint detection systems, should be configured to block known malicious IPs and domains, including 64.29.17.65. Organizations managing crypto assets should implement security awareness training to educate users on recognizing phishing indicators, such as mismatched SSL certificates, suspicious registration details, or inconsistencies in page titles and branding. Immediate reporting of the domain to security vendors and relevant authorities is recommended to accelerate takedown efforts and prevent further victimization. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-3A915F TLS cert SHA-256: 6517ba57ebb18ea78be23440367bec141a956188112300890329f0bd3a686cd7 ## 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/ellipalpcapp.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ellipalpcapp.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.
