No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-03 12:06:54 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-13 07:51:11 UTC (STALE — 22 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-03-15 06:12:04 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 22 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 22 days stale) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c22c5-a34d-76f1-b5eb-e8c920821015/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/tether.beauty crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.tether.beauty Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=tether.beauty AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/tether.beauty URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/tether.beauty/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:28:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies tether.beauty as a low-risk phishing threat targeting users potentially interested in cryptocurrency exchanges. The domain’s page title, "USDT 兌換合約," suggests it aimed to impersonate services related to USDT (Tether) exchange contracts, which could mislead users into divulging sensitive information. Supporting evidence includes the domain’s registration through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. and its resolution to IP address 31.97.48.108. VirusTotal scans flagged tether.beauty by 2 out of 95 security vendors, indicating limited but present suspicion. The domain appeared on one security blocklist and scored 0/100 on the Gridinsoft trust scale, further hinting at questionable intent. However, the domain was registered recently on February 21, 2026, and is currently offline, reducing immediate risk. Users should avoid visiting tether.beauty and ignore any unsolicited communications referencing this domain. Since it is offline and only moderately flagged, the risk remains low but should not be dismissed entirely. PhishDestroy recommends maintaining vigilance against similar crypto-themed phishing attempts and reporting suspicious domains to security platforms. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3e02dd6eed3d46473622ea923ab48776 TLS cert SHA-256: eee19f68739c47d89f2fa986e3031702c84ecc010e33da6c88d9ba9451cf2856 ## 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/tether.beauty/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tether.beauty 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.
