PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2025-10-18 (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) First reported: 2025-10-26 13:53:35 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-22 09:39:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-23 03:15:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019a20cb-5d31-7467-a93a-caed6bef1d4b/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/usd-transfer.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.usd-transfer.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=usd-transfer.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/usd-transfer.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/usd-transfer.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:16:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies usd-transfer.online as a medium-risk brand impersonation domain targeting Trust Wallet users. The domain’s page title, “Transfer Trust Wallet,” attempts to lend legitimacy by invoking the trusted crypto wallet brand. Classified primarily as a phishing and brand impersonation threat, usd-transfer.online was designed to deceive users into believing it was affiliated with Trust Wallet to potentially harvest sensitive information. Technical analysis reveals the domain was registered on October 18, 2025, via HOSTINGER operations, UAB. It resolved to the IP address 18.208.88.157 and was flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. Additionally, it appeared on two separate security blocklists, further confirming its malicious intent. The domain infrastructure leveraged hosting providers known for occasionally facilitating fraudulent activities, and the page title was crafted to lure users into a false sense of security related to cryptocurrency transfers. Currently, usd-transfer.online is offline, indicating a successful takedown or domain suspension response. PhishDestroy recommends users remain vigilant against similar brand impersonation attempts, especially those involving high-value targets like Trust Wallet. Continued monitoring of such domains is essential to prevent credential theft and financial loss in the crypto space. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 8514f0009a58c6e0acb5468f88037732b59b70af5e524f452e3bef8fb33effc5 ## 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/usd-transfer.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=usd-transfer.online 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.
