Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies fowatu.com as an active brand-impersonation site running a Base crypto drainer campaign. The domain’s risk level is elevated due to its live malicious content and brand-copying tactics. The page masquerades as a crypto casino while surreptitiously draining wallets once connected. This domain was flagged with 2 detections out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, resolving to IP 188.114.97.3 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt. It was registered on March 25, 2026, and is already circulating in low-signal blocklists and threat-intel feeds. To mitigate risk, do not visit fowatu.com or click any links in messages promoting it. Revoke any wallet connections made to this domain through your wallet’s connection manager. Report the URL to your security team and share indicators (IP 188.114.97.3, domain fowatu.com) with threat-intel platforms. Block the domain at DNS and network layers to prevent further access. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 095b185e288ed8e4d934ac78fe6a4e2e ## 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/fowatu.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fowatu.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.
