No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-30 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-03 17:06:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-04 00:20:35 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f2882-f4c6-727c-843f-e6fc9bbf5c88/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/signup-usdt0.events crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.signup-usdt0.events Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=signup-usdt0.events AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/signup-usdt0.events URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/signup-usdt0.events/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-03 17:35:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged for elevated risk due to its association with crypto drainer activity. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to trick users into connecting cryptocurrency wallets, enabling unauthorized token transfers or asset theft. The domain exhibits characteristics consistent with wallet-draining malware, including the use of USDT-themed subdomains to mimic legitimate token services. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 30, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. VirusTotal reports 1 out of 95 security vendors have detected this domain as malicious, suggesting limited but confirmed detection. No additional blocklist entries or trust scores were identified in available threat intelligence feeds. Mitigation steps specific to crypto drainer threats include immediately revoking any wallet connections to signup-usdt0.events, rotating credentials for all cryptocurrency accounts, and verifying transaction histories for unauthorized activity. Users should avoid interacting with domains containing cryptocurrency-related terms (e.g., USDT, ETH) unless verified through official sources. Network-level blocking of the domain and its resolving IP (188.114.96.3) is recommended for enterprise environments. Wallet software should be updated to the latest version to ensure protection against known drainer signatures. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f3418a443e7d841097c714d69ec4bcb8 ## 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 (operator 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/signup-usdt0.events/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=signup-usdt0.events 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
