# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ils-usdt.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 11:42:57 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ils-usdt.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 98/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, URLQuery URLQuery: 4 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 216.150.16.193 (US, Walnut) ASN: ASAS16509 AMAZON-02 - Amazon.com, Inc., US Hosting org: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Registrar: DYNADOT LLC Nameservers: ns1.dyna-ns.net, ns2.dyna-ns.net Registered: 2026-06-21 Expires: 2027-06-21 Page title: Exchange | Premium USDT ⇄ ILS ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-19 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 608e16474b76ef499139552fba8c121137586e3ff97ec821bbcf9cdf5e828e17 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-06-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-23 11:56:33 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-23 09:57:40 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-23 12:17:37 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ef3e8-2981-750a-8885-7841f9481712/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/21ce1bb4-6d85-44ae-9abb-3351f8d2141c Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ils-usdt.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ils-usdt.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ils-usdt.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ils-usdt.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ils-usdt.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:23:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Analysis indicates that ils-usdt.xyz was associated with a generic phishing operation and presented elevated risk prior to being taken offline. The domain displayed the page title "Exchange | Premium USDT ⇄ ILS", suggesting an exchange-themed lure intended to attract users seeking digital asset conversion services. Such phishing infrastructure is commonly deployed to obtain credentials, payment details, wallet information, or transaction approvals through deceptive interfaces. Although the domain is currently offline, historical indicators support classification as a phishing-related resource that posed a credible risk to visitors during its active period. Infrastructure analysis reveals that the domain resolved to IP address 216.150.16.193 and utilized an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. Registration records show the domain was created on June 21, 2026 and registered through DYNADOT LLC. Detection telemetry indicates that 5/95 security vendors flagged the domain. Reputation assessment data assigned a trust score of 0/100. Intelligence sources further show that the domain appeared on 2 security blocklists and was blocked by two independent security-monitoring organizations. The combination of a newly created domain, a 0/100 trust score, multiple security detections, and inclusion on 2 blocklists materially increases confidence in the phishing assessment. While the domain has been taken offline, these indicators remain relevant for retrospective investigations and threat correlation activities. Users who interacted with the domain while it was active should assume that any information submitted through the site may have been exposed. Credentials used during access sessions should be changed immediately, particularly if reused elsewhere. Any financial accounts, digital asset wallets, or authentication mechanisms linked to the interaction should be reviewed for unauthorized activity. Security teams should retain historical DNS, proxy, email, and endpoint logs associated with communications involving ils-usdt.xyz and investigate any connections to IP address 216.150.16.193. Organizations may also wish to maintain detection rules and block entries related to the domain despite its offline status, as phishing operators frequently reuse infrastructure patterns, themes, and registration techniques in future campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260623-717FBC Favicon MD5: 3e11659b202b9db24eb6d99075d9ea41 TLS cert SHA-256: 608e16474b76ef499139552fba8c121137586e3ff97ec821bbcf9cdf5e828e17 ## 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/ils-usdt.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ils-usdt.xyz 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.
