Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies layer2-chain.com as a high-risk phishing website impersonating Polygon, a popular blockchain platform. This domain was registered suspiciously recently on December 23, 2025, and uses deceptive tactics to trick users into compromising their cryptocurrency wallets. It is flagged for social engineering and appears on multiple security blocklists, confirming its dangerous nature. The site is currently offline but was confirmed to host a crypto wallet drainer. This phishing scam operates by abusing Wallet Connect, a common interface used to access blockchain wallets. When users visit layer2-chain.com, the site mimics Polygon’s branding and invites them to connect their wallets. Once connected, the attacker gains unauthorized access, allowing them to drain funds from users' wallets without their consent. This Wallet Connect abuse technique is particularly insidious as it exploits trust and familiar wallet connection processes. If someone has visited layer2-chain.com, it is critical to immediately disconnect any connected wallets and revoke permissions via the Polygon or Wallet Connect interfaces. Users should check their wallet activity for unauthorized transactions and consider moving remaining funds to a new wallet with fresh private keys. Enabling additional security measures like hardware wallets and two-factor authentication can help prevent future compromises. Always verify URLs and avoid connecting wallets on suspicious or untrusted sites to stay safe from crypto drainers like this. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: ab6f99fdb575e62c309f583be40ef2abcd88e378bc057c284ea70aedbcf42fff ## 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/layer2-chain.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=layer2-chain.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.
