# PhishDestroy threat dossier — leatherbtc-desktop.io ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 11:28:38 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/leatherbtc-desktop.io/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Bitcoin ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: CRDF, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 91.92.241.250 (NL, Amsterdam) ASN: AS202412 Omegatech LTD Hosting org: Omegatech LTD Registrar: Squarespace Domains LLC Nameservers: nsb1.squarespacedns.com, nsb2.squarespacedns.com, nsb3.squarespacedns.com, nsb4.squarespacedns.com Registered: 2026-06-16 Expires: 2027-06-10 Page title: Leather Desktop Wallet — Bitcoin's Most Advanced Desktop Wallet ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-08 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 5535c52c565a7a805d969a7d50a415bbab07a1b3b0477c2e59ac107cf30036be ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-16 09:38:30 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 16:13:16 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-17 00:32:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ecf5c-dd05-76bd-9f42-2a859a6d1af6/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/d1f16a7d-1ebe-46db-92bd-05a815368f16 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/leatherbtc-desktop.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.leatherbtc-desktop.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=leatherbtc-desktop.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/leatherbtc-desktop.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/leatherbtc-desktop.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:47:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, leatherbtc-desktop.io, presents a confirmed brand impersonation threat targeting cryptocurrency users by mimicking a legitimate Bitcoin desktop wallet interface. The site displays the page title 'Leather Desktop Wallet — Bitcoin's Most Advanced Desktop Wallet,' falsely associating itself with established Bitcoin infrastructure to deceive users into downloading malicious software or disclosing sensitive credentials. Such impersonation tactics are commonly employed to facilitate crypto drainer attacks, where victims unknowingly authorize transactions that siphon funds from their wallets to attacker-controlled addresses. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on June 16, 2026, through Squarespace Domains LLC, a registrar frequently abused for malicious infrastructure. The domain resolves to the IP address 91.92.241.250 and is currently flagged by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with additional detections across three independent security blocklists. Threat intelligence platforms report the domain in two AlienVault OTX pulses, further corroborating its malicious classification. The site has been proactively blocked by multiple security mechanisms, including browser extensions and network-level filters. Users who visited leatherbtc-desktop.io or interacted with its content should immediately cease all engagement and revoke any wallet permissions granted during the session. It is recommended to conduct a full security audit of any devices used to access the domain, including scanning for malware and reviewing installed applications for unauthorized software. Cryptocurrency holders should verify wallet addresses and transaction histories for unauthorized activity, and consider migrating funds to a new wallet if compromise is suspected. No legitimate Bitcoin wallet software would distribute itself through a newly registered domain with this pattern of detection. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-A51A77 Favicon MD5: c1c6810842f745b6d8a4872b022f548a TLS cert SHA-256: 5535c52c565a7a805d969a7d50a415bbab07a1b3b0477c2e59ac107cf30036be ## 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-desktop.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=leatherbtc-desktop.io 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.
