This domain, hickory[.]website, was identified as a high-risk crypto scam impersonating Binance, with infrastructure analysis confirming its malicious intent prior to being taken offline. Registered on February 21, 2026, the domain resolved to IP 66.29.146.168, hosted on AS22612 (Namecheap, Inc.) in the United States. The SSL certificate, issued by Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA (DV R36), provided no additional trust signals, as Domain Validation certificates are routinely abused in phishing campaigns. The page title, 'TRON Wallet Integration Example,' suggests the scam targeted users of TRON-based cryptocurrency wallets, aligning with the broader pattern of Binance brand impersonation for fraudulent crypto transactions. Security vendors and blocklists flagged the domain aggressively: PhishDestroy, Polkadot, Enkrypt, and Codeesura all blocked it, and it appeared on four independent security blocklists.
While VirusTotal recorded 10 detections out of 93 vendors, this partial coverage is consistent with domains that evade initial scans or are reported after partial exposure. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 20/100, reinforcing its classification as malicious. No evidence links this domain to a known phishing kit, and the exact content beyond the page title remains unanalyzed due to its offline status. Defenders should treat this domain as confirmed malicious infrastructure. The IP (66.29.146.168) and hosting provider (Namecheap) are recurrent in phishing operations, warranting monitoring for re-registration or IP reuse.
The SSL issuer (Sectigo) is not inherently suspicious, but the DV certificate type offers no organizational validation. Given the domain’s short lifespan and rapid takedown, it likely operated as part of a larger campaign; defenders should cross-reference the IP, registrar, and brand impersonation (Binance) in logs for related activity. No Safe Browsing or OTX data was provided, so additional context on distribution methods (e.g.

Domain Appeal
Contest this listing if false positive
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 →

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with hickory.website — act now.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
- Revoke token approvals — use revoke.cash to remove access granted to malicious smart contracts
- Move remaining funds to a brand-new wallet. The compromised wallet is no longer safe
- Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
- Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
- Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
According to the FBI, the most important details are transaction data:
- Cryptocurrency addresses — scammer's wallet (e.g.,
0x5856...35985) - Amount & crypto type — exact amount (e.g., 1.02345 ETH, 0.5 BTC, 500 USDT)
- Transaction ID (hash) — the unique blockchain transaction identifier
- Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
- Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
- All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including
hickory.website) - Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
- FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
- Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
- Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
- Your crypto exchange — contact Coinbase/Binance/Kraken support to freeze scammer's address
- Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
The FBI recovered over $1 billion in crypto fraud in 2024 thanks to victim reports. Your report matters.
How do crypto scams typically work?
- Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
- Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
- Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
- Recovery scams — victims targeted AGAIN by fake "recovery agents" demanding upfront fees. Always a scam
- Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
- AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
- Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
- Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
- Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
- Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
- "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
How big is the crypto scam problem?
- $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 — CoinLedger
- Pig butchering losses grew 40% year over year, now the fastest-growing fraud type
- Only ~5% of victims report — your report helps shut down criminal networks
- FBI recovered $1B+ in 2024 thanks to victim reports — FBI.gov
