the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

exodus-download.website Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy

This report details the threat posed by the domain exodus-download.website. The site impersonates the Exodus brand and was categorized as a cryptocurrency scam. The specific threat it poses is tricking users into downloading malicious software or revealing credentials under the guise of a legitimate Exodus wallet update or download.

Technical analysis confirms the threat. VirusTotal shows 17 out of 95 security vendors flagged the domain as malicious. It was flagged by threat intelligence feeds including ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, CRDF, and Fortinet. The domain was created on 2026-02-21 and resolved to IP address 91.84.105.178, hosted in the Netherlands by AS216071 SERVERS TECH FZCO. The SSL certificate used was issued by R13.

The domain is currently DOWN/OFFLINE. Based on the available data, it carries a high risk score of 73 and is listed on 3 blocklists. Its offline status reduces immediate user risk, but the domain remains a known malicious infrastructure.

## 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.
