Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies tangemwalletdesktop.icu as an active crypto drainer posing as a desktop wallet for Tangem users. This domain was flagged due to its zero detections on VirusTotal (1/95) and active redirection to malicious payloads targeting cryptocurrency holders. The site mimics legitimate wallet software to deceive users into downloading and installing drainer malware, which silently transfers crypto assets to attacker-controlled wallets. This domain exhibits multiple red flags consistent with malicious intent. Registered on May 02, 2026, just days ago, it already hosts a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear trustworthy. The domain resolves to IP address 216.198.79.65 and is hosted by NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar with a history of enabling fraudulent domains. Critically, it remains undetected on VirusTotal with 1/95 security engines flagging it, indicating it is a newly deployed and rapidly evolving threat. Users who visited tangemwalletdesktop.icu should immediately assume compromise. Do not enter any seed phrases, private keys, or wallet credentials on this site. Disconnect any devices that accessed the domain, scan for malware using up-to-date antivirus tools, and revoke any exposed API keys or wallet permissions. Report the domain to your antivirus provider and consider rotating all crypto wallet addresses and credentials. This campaign is active and evolving—prompt action is required to prevent asset loss. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9f504444f85a5af2eef9264b02ae40be TLS cert SHA-256: 7bbb5a9167e37c945a3d4291481b2b69daada0875b7d0ca1a3aca22936e1e2c1 ## 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/tangemwalletdesktop.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tangemwalletdesktop.icu 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.
