This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 23:01:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 21:04:34 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 12:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 12:18:56 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efb6e-2302-72ab-a79b-8847e7eb6d38/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/tetherwalet.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.tetherwalet.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=tetherwalet.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/tetherwalet.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/tetherwalet.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 13:38:41 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 generic phishing, posing a significant risk to users. Visiting the site could lead to the theft of personal information, including login credentials and financial data, through deceptive tactics designed to mimic legitimate websites or services. The threat actors behind this domain may use sophisticated social engineering techniques to trick visitors into divulging sensitive information, compromising their security and potentially leading to further cyber attacks or financial loss. Analysis indicates that tetherwalet.com has been taken offline, but the domain remains a concern. It was registered through Global Domain Group LLC on April 28, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. The domain appears on three security blocklists, and as of the latest VirusTotal scan, 4 out of 95 security vendors flagged it as malicious. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt, which, while legitimate, is often used by threat actors to increase the credibility of phishing sites. If a user has visited tetherwalet.com, they should take immediate action to ensure their security. This includes changing passwords for any accounts that may have been compromised, monitoring financial statements for unauthorized transactions, and running a full system scan to detect any potential malware. Users should also report the incident to their IT department or a trusted security professional and avoid clicking on any links or downloading files from this domain in the future. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-53222E Favicon MD5: d79b00275a8c053a1dbc031187be1168 TLS cert SHA-256: ce7bb97b599a350e5e0a3a935c57da46e791870a5aa33843cf9fe7ee7bbb0770 ## 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/tetherwalet.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tetherwalet.com 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.
