The domain exodus-start.io is identified as a phishing site that impersonates the legitimate Exodus Wallet, a popular cryptocurrency wallet. It currently has a VirusTotal detection score of 19 out of 95, indicating that several security services have flagged it as potentially harmful.

Registered just three days ago through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu, the domain is still active and has an IP address of 144.31.228.146.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →
