# PhishDestroy threat dossier — trustwallet-payments.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-30 03:12:59 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/trustwallet-payments.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Trust Wallet ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.

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: 2026-03-30 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-21 08:02:03 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-21 05:20:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-30 05:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-27 00:24:21 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e48e7-dad0-777e-b304-134c017a33fc/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/bd826b4b-9ee6-4489-8737-aac9f7a54077 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/trustwallet-payments.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.trustwallet-payments.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=trustwallet-payments.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/trustwallet-payments.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/trustwallet-payments.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-21 08:02:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies trustwallet-payments.com as a brand impersonation website actively masquerading as Trust Wallet, a popular cryptocurrency wallet service. This domain specifically targets users by mimicking legitimate payment or transaction interfaces, luring victims into entering their sensitive wallet credentials or private keys under false pretenses. The fraudulent site exploits Trust Wallet’s reputation to deceive users into believing they are interacting with an official service, which could result in direct financial loss or unauthorized access to cryptocurrency funds. Given the sophistication of such impersonations, users must exercise extreme caution when encountering links or websites claiming to offer Trust Wallet payment or transaction services. This domain was flagged with a single detection on VirusTotal out of 95 security vendors, indicating limited but present malicious activity. Registered through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu on March 30, 2026, the domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and utilizes a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. While only one vendor flagged the domain, the use of a recently created domain, combined with the impersonation of a well-known brand, elevates the risk profile. The domain’s recent registration date suggests a short-lived campaign, but threat actors often recycle domains quickly to evade detection. Users should treat this domain as hostile and avoid any interaction, including clicking links or providing any information. If users have already visited trustwallet-payments.com, they should immediately disconnect from the site and avoid entering any wallet details, private keys, or recovery phrases. Scan all connected devices for malware using reputable antivirus software, as threat actors may deploy keyloggers or phishing scripts to capture sensitive data. Trust Wallet users should verify any payment or transaction links directly through the official Trust Wallet app or website (trustwallet.com) and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on their accounts. Report the domain to Trust Wallet’s official support channels and consider revoking any permissions or approvals granted to suspicious third-party services. Proactive monitoring of cryptocurrency wallets for unauthorized transactions is strongly advised. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260521-FEED7E Favicon MD5: fd88fb39950901fff944d35e7e4777ff TLS cert SHA-256: 034694734c9cde98067a15e890c5a8a1c152bffb5d566c2f15068497550170b1 ## 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/trustwallet-payments.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=trustwallet-payments.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
