# instantbridge.net — SUSPICIOUS > PhishDestroy flags instantbridge.net as a crypto drainer impersonating instant bridge services. It’s already blocked by major lists and has a 4/95 VirusTotal. ## Summary On April 2, 2026, PhishDestroy analysts identified instantbridge.net as an active crypto drainer site leveraging typosquatting to impersonate legitimate cross-chain bridges. The domain hosts a malicious JavaScript-based drainer kit designed to siphon cryptocurrency from victims who connect their wallets under the false impression they are using a trusted bridge service. The kit closely mimics UI elements and transaction flow of established protocols to deceive users into authorizing malicious approvals. Technical indicators confirm this domain as a high-confidence threat. PhishDestroy research shows instantbridge.net sporting a VirusTotal detection score of 4/95 security vendors, correlating with confirmed malicious behavior. The domain was registered through TUCOWS.COM, CO. on March 30, 2026, and resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3. A Let's Encrypt SSL certificate was provisioned on creation, indicating an attempt to appear legitimate. Google Safe Browsing has already blacklisted the domain, and it appears on two additional cybersecurity blocklists, including those maintained by ScamSniffer and Hagezi. As of April 3, 2026, instantbridge.net remains active and continues to present an elevated risk to cryptocurrency users. PhishDestroy has flagged this domain and issued automated blocks across partner networks. Users are strongly advised to verify any bridge URL on PhishDestroy before connecting wallets or authorizing transactions. Remaining risk persists due to potential delayed reporting from victims and residual exposure on social media or forums where the link may still circulate. This domain exemplifies how threat actors rapidly deploy crypto-draining infrastructure with deceptive branding and short-lived registrations to maximize impact. ## Threat Details - Verdict: SUSPICIOUS - Site status: unknown (HTTP ?) ## Domain Intelligence - Registered: 2026-03-30 17:35:04 - Registrar: TUCOWS.COM, CO. - IP: 188.114.97.3 ## Detection Status - VirusTotal: 4 vendors flagged - Google Safe Browsing: clean - Blocklists: 2 hits Lists: ["ScamSniffer", "Hagezi"] ## Evidence - Cloudflare Radar: https://radar.cloudflare.com/scan/9df795fa-79f5-476a-b89b-c7c14eeacb04 - PhishDestroy: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/instantbridge.net/ - LLM endpoint: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/instantbridge.net/llm.txt ## If You Visited This Site 1.
