No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-19 22:31:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-05-19 19:33:34 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-21 02:11:38 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable 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/019e41b8-5a2c-758e-944d-8c2b039d9e72/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f38886ac-41c2-4687-8e04-406cadb30d18 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/exodus-recovery.info crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.exodus-recovery.info Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=exodus-recovery.info AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/exodus-recovery.info URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/exodus-recovery.info/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-19 22:32:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies exodus-recovery.info as an active cryptocurrency recovery-themed phishing domain with an elevated risk profile. This domain was flagged by a single VirusTotal engine out of 95 total scanners, indicating low but noteworthy detection. It resolves to 138.226.236.169 and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, with a creation date of May 19, 2026. The presence of a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate suggests an attempt to appear legitimate, though SSL alone does not confer trustworthiness. Users should avoid interacting with this domain, especially any pages promoting cryptocurrency recovery services, as they are likely designed to steal funds or credentials. Enterprises are advised to block both the domain and associated IP address at the network perimeter. Consider alerting users with financial or cryptocurrency-related responsibilities. If accidental access occurs, disconnect from the network, clear browser data, and monitor for unauthorized transactions. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260519-A3F08C TLS cert SHA-256: 06231f1aa23bca320e3ffe41f5131de52db9aee6b12979cf67afffa9aa9c3cbb ## 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/exodus-recovery.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=exodus-recovery.info 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.
