Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies myetherwalletdesktop.app as a high-risk crypto drainer domain targeting cryptocurrency users. This malicious site impersonated the official MyEtherWallet application to extract digital assets from victims, placing their funds at significant risk. Given its threat type and potential financial impact, the domain was categorized with a high-risk level. The domain was registered through Vercel Inc. and resolved to IP address 216.150.1.1. It appeared on two security blocklists, and analysis on VirusTotal revealed that 13 out of 95 security vendors flagged it as malicious. The page title mimicked a legitimate wallet download, increasing its deceptive appeal to users. These indicators, combined with its hosting infrastructure and phishing techniques, confirmed its crypto-draining intent. Following detection, the domain myetherwalletdesktop.app was taken offline to prevent further victimization. Users are advised to avoid downloading wallets from unofficial sources and to verify URLs carefully when managing cryptocurrency assets. PhishDestroy continues to monitor related threats and encourages vigilance against similar impersonation scams in the crypto space. ## 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/myetherwalletdesktop.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=myetherwalletdesktop.app 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.
