us02live.online is an impersonation phishing domain that posed as a legitimate service to win visitors' trust. Its listing on the MetaMask and SEAL blocklists points to crypto and wallet users as the audience. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-03. The site has been offline since 2026-09-11, and on 2026-10-19 its DNS was still inactive, so the domain no longer resolves.
How the scam works
Impersonation pages copy the look and wording of a trusted brand, then ask for a login, a recovery phrase or a wallet action that hands control to the operator. Anything typed into such a page goes straight to the scammers, and a stolen seed phrase lets them empty a wallet with no further interaction. When it was last checked, the page showed only the title "us02live.online is registered at Namecheap", a default registrar placeholder, which differs from the impersonation content behind our classification.
Evidence
On 2026-09-05, 7 of 90 VirusTotal engines marked the domain as malicious: BitDefender, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Kaspersky, SOCRadar and VIPRE. That is a minority of engines, but the flags come from several unrelated vendors rather than one. Two crypto-focused lists also carry the domain alongside PhishDestroy. MetaMask's blocklist warns wallet users directly, and SEAL is maintained by security responders in the crypto space.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-08-12 through NameCheap, Inc., just 22 days before PhishDestroy detected it. It went dark about a week after that, a short lifespan typical of disposable phishing domains. Hosting sat on Namecheap, Inc.'s network in the US, the registrar's own infrastructure, which matches the placeholder page title.
What to do
If you typed a recovery phrase or private key into this site, treat that wallet as compromised. Create a new wallet on a clean device and move any remaining funds there immediately. If you entered a password, change it everywhere you reused it and turn on app-based 2FA. Be wary of anyone who contacts you offering to recover losses, because that is a common follow-up scam. Defenders should block the domain at DNS and proxy level and search logs for visits since 2026-08-12, since a parked domain can come back with new content.

For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

After a phishing incident
Recommendations & Advice for Victims
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including us02live.online)
Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
