Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies livedrop.cyou as a high-risk crypto wallet drainer domain currently active in the wild. The domain shows clear intent to deceive users into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets under false pretenses, with indicators pointing toward the deployment of drainer kit malware designed to siphon digital assets directly from victims’ wallets. Analysis reveals the domain’s infrastructure is tailored to mimic legitimate crypto service interfaces, increasing the likelihood of successful user compromise through social engineering tactics. No specific brand affiliation was detected during forensic examination, suggesting an opportunistic campaign targeting cryptocurrency users broadly rather than a focused brand impersonation. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with a VirusTotal detection score of 15 out of 95 security vendors, and has been listed on 3 public blocklists including MetaMask, SEAL, and Maltrail. The domain was registered on March 24, 2026, through Global Domain Group LLC, and resolves to IP address 185.114.96.3. The SSL certificate was issued by Let’s Encrypt, indicating an attempt to establish false trust through encryption. Despite these warnings, the domain remains active and accessible, posing a persistent threat to unwary cryptocurrency users. As of the latest assessment, livedrop.cyou continues to operate with high risk potential. Immediate remediation efforts include domain takedown reporting to hosting providers and registrars, and continued monitoring across threat intelligence feeds. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with this domain and to verify all crypto-related URLs through official channels. The persistent activity and low detection coverage suggest the threat actor may still be refining their campaign, increasing the urgency for proactive user education and defensive measures. Remaining risk is assessed as HIGH due to active operation and lack of effective takedown intervention. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260415-E92689 TLS cert SHA-256: a5086827cb0b8c2d878f42bc3266e9ae33d61baecc4e7a7a8c5b9bb263e4b485 ## 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/livedrop.cyou/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=livedrop.cyou 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.
