This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-30 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-02 14:49:40 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-02 13:00:53 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 19:17:33 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-03 03:02:48 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f22df-f663-7060-9186-1fb176df1813/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/06e9137d-2810-4afb-8c49-8e8026444fcf Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/exodus-wallet.ltd crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.exodus-wallet.ltd Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=exodus-wallet.ltd AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/exodus-wallet.ltd URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/exodus-wallet.ltd/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-02 15:00:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, exodus-wallet.ltd, is identified as an active crypto drainer phishing site targeting users of the Exodus cryptocurrency wallet. The threat type, classified as crypto_drainer, involves malicious infrastructure designed to siphon digital assets from victims by impersonating legitimate wallet software. As of the latest analysis, the domain remains operational and poses a high risk to unsuspecting users seeking wallet downloads or setup guides. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through Name.com, Inc. on June 30, 2026, an anomalous creation date suggesting potential domain spoofing or registry manipulation. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which may be associated with content delivery networks or bulletproof hosting providers. Detection metrics indicate the domain has been flagged by 2 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, a relatively low detection rate that underscores its evasive nature. The page title, 'Exodus Wallet Guide | Secure Download & Setup,' is crafted to mimic official Exodus documentation, further enhancing its deceptive credibility. Current status confirms exodus-wallet.ltd remains active, with no evidence of takedown or mitigation at the registrar or hosting level. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with this domain or downloading any software linked from it. Cryptocurrency holders should verify wallet downloads exclusively through official sources, cross-reference domain registration details via WHOIS, and employ browser-based security tools capable of detecting phishing and crypto drainer threats. Network-level blocking of the IP 188.114.97.3 is recommended for enterprise environments to prevent accidental exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260702-C0763F TLS cert SHA-256: 48cb9c02c9894bd2888bdabc11af329e0e894c3574d77e48299309a131b93773 ## 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/exodus-wallet.ltd/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=exodus-wallet.ltd 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.
