Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] ethusdt.co — Phishing Investigation Report Analysis of ethusdt.co, observed on July 27 2026, indicates that the domain is actively used in a phishing campaign targeting cryptocurrency users. The domain was registered on July 14 2026 through Unstoppable Domains, Inc, a service known for blockchain‑based domain registration. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 216.198.79.65 and the authoritative name servers are ns1.vercel-dns.com and ns2.vercel-dns.com, suggesting that the hosting infrastructure is provisioned on Vercel’s platform. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been flagged by the PhishDestroy sinkhole, confirming its malicious intent. VirusTotal analysis shows that 2 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain, providing independent corroboration of malicious activity. The domain remains active at the time of reporting. No additional intelligence such as SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, page titles, or brand targeting is presently available, leaving the exact phishing vector and lure undefined. Defenders should proactively block traffic to ethusdt.co at network perimeters, include the domain in endpoint allow‑list exclusions, and monitor DNS queries for the associated IP address and Vercel name servers. Continuous re‑evaluation of VirusTotal and blocklist status is advised, as additional detections may emerge. Given the recent creation date and the involvement of a blockchain‑focused registrar, the threat should be treated with high confidence due to its potential to exploit cryptocurrency‑related trust. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-B4AEF4 Favicon MD5: 1aca37ff7ea24d01377097e8dab3a816 TLS cert SHA-256: d7bde7a601f9ee45f6a60810fac7069ee7dd0693f7fa1d24652877cc68de2485 ## 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/ethusdt.co/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ethusdt.co 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.
