Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies layer0.icu as an active domain engaged in LayerZero brand impersonation phishing, as classified under the unique seed identifier 7805b1. The domain remains unblocked and accessible despite preliminary investigations into its malicious intent. LayerZero, a recognized cross-chain messaging protocol, is the targeted brand in this scheme. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating a low initial detection rate that warrants further scrutiny. Registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, layer0.icu resolves to IP address 104.21.15.7 and is secured by a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. The domain was created on May 11, 2026, and currently shows no presence on major blocklists. Its trust scores remain nominal, with no reported abuse history or blacklist inclusion to date. While the immediate risk appears contained due to limited vendor detection and absence from blocklists, the domain’s active status and impersonation tactics pose a credible threat to users unfamiliar with LayerZero. Users are advised to avoid interacting with layer0.icu and to verify the authenticity of any LayerZero-related communications by cross-referencing official sources. Security teams should monitor this domain for emerging indicators of compromise and consider proactive blocking to mitigate potential exposure. Exercise caution when accessing or linking to this domain, as further malicious activity may be uncovered during ongoing investigations. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/92 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: aef6f9fc60c1057f7b9493b57e707d8a TLS cert SHA-256: e802eaf144ac7b4cba2c5da38349839be078728d664ce859cf020d06d79a4e4c ## 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/layer0.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=layer0.icu 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.
