# PhishDestroy threat dossier — sending-erc-usdt.site ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-30 16:22:37 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/sending-erc-usdt.site/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Trust Wallet ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 7/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, PhishFort, Webroot URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 192.142.10.5 (NL, Amsterdam) Hosting org: AS214036 Ultahost, Inc. Registrar: Ultahost, Inc. Nameservers: ns1.ultahost.com, ns2.ultahost.com, ns3.ultahost.com, ns4.ultahost.com Registered: 2026-05-02 Expires: 2027-05-02 Page title: Trust Wallet ## 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: 2026-05-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-30 03:13:01 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-30 00:16:14 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-30 17:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-30 06:30:49 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e7639-51d0-75ca-b07a-3d4ad088664e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/7df766cf-9732-42c7-a68f-cb7b06c8f5d5 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/sending-erc-usdt.site crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.sending-erc-usdt.site Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=sending-erc-usdt.site AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/sending-erc-usdt.site URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/sending-erc-usdt.site/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-30 03:13:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies sending-erc-usdt.site as an active cryptocurrency drainer posing as an ERC-20 USDT transaction portal. The elevated risk stems from its live status, deceptive branding, and technical indicators aligned with crypto-draining toolkits. Users who interact with this domain risk unauthorized transfer of digital assets to attacker-controlled wallets. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy on discovery date May 02, 2026. It resolves to IP 192.142.10.5 and is registered through Ultahost, Inc. with a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. VirusTotal analysis shows 7 out of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain, indicating partial but not universal detection. The domain is newly registered, suggesting opportunistic deployment in ongoing campaigns targeting cryptocurrency users. Multiple red flags support classification as a crypto drainer: the domain name combines transactional terms (“sending”, “erc”) with a major token abbreviation (“usdt”), a common tactic to lure users into fake transfer interfaces. The presence of a valid SSL certificate increases perceived legitimacy, while the low VT detection rate (7/95) and short domain age suggest evasion against automated defenses. Attackers likely use this portal to harvest private keys or seed phrases via fake wallet connections or transaction approvals. Users should never enter wallet credentials or approve transactions on this domain. Always verify URLs via PhishDestroy’s real-time scanner or official blockchain explorers. Enable hardware wallet signing for all transactions and revoke any suspicious smart contract approvals immediately. Report this domain to PhishDestroy for blocklist inclusion and warn others in crypto communities to prevent further victimization. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260530-58F32A ## 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/sending-erc-usdt.site/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sending-erc-usdt.site 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.
