PhishDestroy AI

MEDIUM

The domain tether-gold[.]top masquerades as a site for Tether Gold, claiming to represent a leading gold token. It exhibits a low VirusTotal detection rate of 2/95, indicating some level of malicious activity, particularly given its fraudulent claims that could mislead users seeking investment opportunities.

Registered just three days ago through Eranet International Limited in the US, this domain has already been flagged for phishing. It operates on an IP address of 172.67.219.101 and has been noted by blocklists, emphasizing its malicious intent early on. The short lifespan of the domain suggests it may have been quickly set up to exploit unsuspecting individuals.

Currently, tether-gold[.]top is taken down, and PhishDestroy has actively reported the domain and included it in blocklists to prevent further access. Ongoing monitoring will ensure that any re-emergence of this threat is swiftly addressed.
