tetherwallex.com - Phishing Investigation

The domain tetherwallex.com was registered on 15 June 2026 through Cloudflare, Inc. and is hosted on infrastructure owned by Vercel, Inc., resolving to the IPv4 address 76.76.21.21 located in the United States. Authoritative name servers are mike.ns.cloudflare.com and oaklyn.ns.cloudflare.com, both belonging to Cloudflare’s DNS service. The domain appears on a single public security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy feed.

VirusTotal analysis shows that three out of ninety‑one scanning engines have raised malicious indicators for tetherwallex.com, confirming that at least a subset of security products consider the site suspicious. No public Safe Browsing, OTX, or SSL certificate details are currently available, and the site’s HTTP response code, page title, and content have not been disclosed in the intelligence set. Consequently, the exact phishing vector, targeted brand, or credential‑capture mechanism remains unknown.

Defenders should prioritize adding tetherwallex.com to outbound filtering rules and internal blocklists, monitor DNS queries for the domain and its Cloudflare name servers, and enforce strict email gateway checks to prevent malicious links from reaching users. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised as additional telemetry, such as page content or further vendor detections, becomes available.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       efee73f86009761dcb52c41139c2fbed
TLS cert SHA-256:      82b138d537cfec881b40781872998c2771bc400bfe08382b24c215322f56c90d

## 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.
