Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified instant-trustwallet.com as an active brand-impersonation site targeting Trust Wallet users to steal cryptocurrency assets. This malicious domain mimics the official Trust Wallet interface to trick victims into entering recovery phrases or signing malicious transactions via a crypto drainer script. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy, blocked by MetaMask and SEAL, and listed on two security blocklists. VirusTotal shows it is detected by 2 out of 95 security vendors. It was registered through Cloudflare, Inc. on March 09, 2026, and resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3. The site uses a valid Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, increasing the risk of deception. If you visited instant-trustwallet.com or entered any information on the site, stop using any connected cryptocurrency wallets immediately. Disconnect the wallet from the internet or power off the device if possible. Revoke any wallet approvals and consider transferring remaining funds to a new, clean wallet. Always verify access links by checking the official Trust Wallet website or app directly—never via third-party URLs. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 4e6b91814b5b5fff20ab8d49b1ea735b TLS cert SHA-256: 2a8cadb645e7adea46c40b254e6db8881a703e49e405294c9b00d9714e7b3601 ## 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/instant-trustwallet.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=instant-trustwallet.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.
