Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies guardadesktop.live as a domain posing a significant brand impersonation threat, specifically targeting users of Bitcoin by masquerading as the Guarda Wallet. This domain was flagged due to several indicators, including its creation date of May 29, 2026, and the fact that it resolves to the IP address 216.198.79.1, with a Let's Encrypt / YR1 SSL certificate, and was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and has a remarkably low 0/95 detections on VirusTotal, yet it appears on 1 security blocklist. Users who may have visited guardadesktop.live should exercise extreme caution, as the domain has been taken offline, and they should immediately check their accounts for any suspicious activity, considering the domain's attempt to impersonate a legitimate Bitcoin service, and review the full report for comprehensive details on the threat and necessary safety precautions. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260531-E8976A Favicon MD5: b32fd526041ce69ef894843f5f06c895 TLS cert SHA-256: 310ea1ce4abff54c9ca53319499410f7b5b382e79ed783576ac4447924de7b7d ## 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/guardadesktop.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=guardadesktop.live 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.
