Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, leatherbtc-app.live, poses a specific threat as a crypto drainer designed to impersonate the legitimate Leather Desktop Bitcoin wallet application. The site mimics the official brand interface to trick users into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets, after which it deploys malicious smart contracts to drain funds. Infrastructure analysis confirms this is not a generic phishing page but a targeted asset theft operation using brand impersonation. Evidence from security scans shows VirusTotal flags this domain with 1 out of 95 security vendors marking it malicious. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, created on June 20, 2026, and currently resolves to IP address 216.198.79.1. It appears on 1 security blocklist and is found in 2 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses, confirming its inclusion in active threat tracking systems. Users who visited leatherbtc-app.live should immediately disconnect any cryptocurrency wallet that was connected on the site. Revoke all smart contract approvals granted to this domain using a token approval checker. Run a full antivirus scan on the device used, change passwords for any accounts accessed while on the site, and monitor cryptocurrency wallets for unauthorized transactions. Consider migrating funds to a new wallet if any connection was made. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-EC2B5A Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: c59cdb425f91a53ea6ff8da99b1e9d9a5ca3f96cd5a76d770b8cf680de7422ce ## 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/leatherbtc-app.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=leatherbtc-app.live 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.
