# PhishDestroy threat dossier — exodusrecoverytool.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 03:27:29 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/exodusrecoverytool.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 92/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Exodus ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 9/94 security vendors flagged this domain URLQuery: 2 detections ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.15.13 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

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: 2026-03-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-15 08:08:29 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-15 05:08:58 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-22 01:40:17 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-21 22:01:44 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d8f88-cbf3-758f-a591-e3cf59341126/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/a5633a76-a9df-433c-9665-0e32239d553b Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/exodusrecoverytool.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.exodusrecoverytool.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=exodusrecoverytool.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/exodusrecoverytool.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/exodusrecoverytool.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-15 08:08:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] exodusrecoverytool.com is a fraudulent website masquerading as a legitimate tool for recovering lost cryptocurrency wallets, specifically targeting users of Exodus Wallet. The domain is currently active and has been flagged as a crypto drainer, a type of malware designed to steal cryptocurrency assets upon interaction. This threat involves deceptive software that mimics recovery utilities to trick users into entering sensitive wallet information or downloading malicious payloads. PhishDestroy identifies exodusrecoverytool.com as a crypto drainer with a current VirusTotal detection rate of 0 out of 95 vendors, indicating it has not yet been widely blacklisted despite its malicious intent. The domain was registered through NameSilo, LLC on March 23, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 104.21.15.13. Notably, this domain also holds a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may further mislead users into believing it is trustworthy. The absence of detections on VirusTotal suggests a need for heightened vigilance, as the domain remains under the radar of mainstream security tools. As of the latest assessment, exodusrecoverytool.com remains active and poses a significant risk to users seeking cryptocurrency recovery solutions. The combination of a recently registered domain, a low detection rate, and the use of a reputable SSL certificate highlights the sophisticated nature of this scam. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with this domain and to verify the legitimacy of any recovery tool through PhishDestroy or other trusted security platforms. Additionally, users should ensure their cryptocurrency wallets are protected with multi-factor authentication and only use official recovery channels provided by the wallet manufacturer. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260415-FACBF9 Favicon MD5: e2d87bf9d2e5600c7dec120cc3f5e25b TLS cert SHA-256: 218f3297ab087e1d83edc2a95012835b4c1f42ed90ee947b29b842cad040e21a ## 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/exodusrecoverytool.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=exodusrecoverytool.com 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.
