Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain tangemdesktopapp.live has been identified as a potential generic phishing threat. It impersonates the Tangem Wallet, a known digital wallet application. Currently, there are no indications of a drainer kit associated with this domain, but threats related to impersonation require thorough examination due to the potential financial implications for users. Technical analysis reveals that the VirusTotal score for this domain stands at 0/95, indicating it has not yet been flagged by existing detection systems. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, with a creation date of June 29, 2026. It resolves to the IP address 216.198.79.1, which has not been reported on any blacklist at this time. The SSL certification is issued by Let's Encrypt, which is known for providing free certificates but may also be leveraged by malicious actors to legitimize phishing attempts. As of now, tangemdesktopapp.live remains active and is under investigation for its involvement in generic phishing schemes. Monitoring efforts should continue, with a focus on identifying any user interactions or victim reports that may arise from its presence. Users are advised to refrain from entering sensitive information on this domain until further assessments are complete, as the risk remains elevated while it is still active in the cyber landscape. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-6C3B67 Favicon MD5: 9cc4b9b1a66affa0f9776fcb1c42f2e5 ## 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/tangemdesktopapp.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tangemdesktopapp.live 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.
