Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Phantew.info is actively distributing a crypto drainer designed to siphon cryptocurrency from unsuspecting users. This threat mimics legitimate services to trick victims into connecting their wallets, where malicious smart contracts silently drain funds. The domain leverages social engineering tactics, often disseminated via fake airdrop announcements or fraudulent giveaways, to lure users into approving malicious transactions. Once connected, the drainer executes unauthorized transfers, exploiting wallet permissions without raising immediate suspicion. This domain exhibits multiple red flags across security platforms. VirusTotal reports a 3/95 detection ratio, indicating limited but notable coverage by security vendors. It was registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and went live on April 28, 2026, suggesting a recently deployed campaign. Additionally, phantew.info is blocked by MetaMask and SEAL, and it appears on 2 security blocklists, further validating its malicious intent. The domain also holds a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which may mislead users into believing it’s trustworthy. If you’ve visited phantew.info or interacted with its pages, disconnect your wallet immediately and revoke any suspicious permissions via tools like Etherscan’s token approval checker. Do not approve any further transactions from this domain. Report the incident to your wallet provider and consider transferring remaining funds to a new wallet. Stay vigilant for unusual transaction activity and avoid clicking links from unsolicited messages or advertisements. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260430-42C7C3 Favicon MD5: 000bf649cc8f6bf27cfb04d1bcdcd3c7 TLS cert SHA-256: f3df3dca1ee5caea37eee1676ed81b6bd64638e38c3b6a4e73b2ed50a0257c5b ## 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/phantew.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=phantew.info 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.
