# PhishDestroy threat dossier — send-usdt.center ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-20 04:31:38 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/send-usdt.center/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- ACTIVE + CLOAKED — returns HTTP 666 to scanners, real fraudulent site to victims Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Cloaking: DETECTED — domain returns custom HTTP 666 to scanners while serving fraudulent content to real users (type: content_split) (score: 1/6) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/92 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, G-Data, Kaspersky URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 216.150.1.1 (US, Walnut) ASN: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc.

No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-16 21:20:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-05-16 18:22:17 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-20 07:03:15 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e3202-d0c1-7601-9fa9-d94da25ce3b2/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/d552e1bf-c849-4731-9193-36089b524a0a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/send-usdt.center crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.send-usdt.center Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=send-usdt.center AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/send-usdt.center URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/send-usdt.center/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-16 21:20:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain send-usdt.center has been identified as a crypto drainer impersonating legitimate USDT transaction services. Currently under active investigation with a confirmed status, this malicious domain is designed to deceive users into initiating cryptocurrency transfers that are ultimately siphoned off by threat actors. The infrastructure demonstrates consistent malicious behavior, warranting immediate attention from security teams and end-users alike. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors and currently appears on a single security blocklist. Technical indicators show this domain resolves to IP address 216.150.1.1, utilizes a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate for legitimacy, and was registered through GNAME.COM PTE. LTD. on May 14, 2026. Further analysis reveals the domain has been actively blocked by MetaMask, indicating recognition by major security platforms. The absence of VirusTotal detections suggests this threat may be newly deployed or employing evasion techniques to bypass initial scanning mechanisms. Based on current intelligence, send-usdt.center represents a HIGH RISK threat due to its active status and cryptocurrency focus. Users should immediately block this domain at both network and endpoint levels. Organizations are advised to implement DNS filtering rules and update firewall configurations to prevent access. Additionally, monitor network traffic for connections to IP 216.150.1.1 and inspect SSL certificates signed by Let’s Encrypt with recently registered domains. Enhanced user awareness training should emphasize verification of cryptocurrency transaction domains and the importance of using hardware wallets for significant transfers. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/92 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260516-4D58AC Favicon MD5: 3c8b6314dfa262958c16db10f4f5eecb TLS cert SHA-256: 4a570895035918aaedf31e6c439491c01e9befd152f541637ccea05458c23d0b ## 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/send-usdt.center/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=send-usdt.center 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.
