No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-26 16:15:54 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-26 13:16:43 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-30 18:04:46 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dc9ec-3325-76e5-bdcc-851b707a797c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/867cf2ad-8afd-4498-b59c-38826b7eda6c Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/usdcsavings.icu crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.usdcsavings.icu Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=usdcsavings.icu AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/usdcsavings.icu URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/usdcsavings.icu/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-26 16:17:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies usdcsavings.icu as a social engineering phishing domain designed to impersonate legitimate financial savings platforms, tricking users into divulging sensitive personal or financial information under false pretenses. The site leverages deceptive visuals and fraudulent claims, such as fake savings account promotions or investment opportunities, to lure victims into providing login credentials, payment details, or other sensitive data. Upon interaction, users may unknowingly expose themselves to credential theft, financial fraud, or identity theft, as the domain’s infrastructure is controlled by malicious actors with no affiliation to genuine financial institutions. This domain was flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering tactics and currently evades detection by security tools, with VirusTotal reporting 0 out of 95 antivirus engines flagging it as malicious. The domain was registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., a registrar known for accommodating high-risk domains, and was created on March 29, 2026, indicating its recent deployment as part of an active campaign. The domain resolves to IP address 35.223.227.195 and holds a valid Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which may further enhance its appearance of legitimacy to unsuspecting users. Despite its low detection rate, the presence of a blocklist flag from Google Safe Browsing underscores the domain’s high-risk nature and warrants immediate caution. If you have visited usdcsavings.icu, avoid entering any personal or financial information and disconnect from the site immediately. Do not click on any links or download files from the domain, as these may contain malware or lead to further exploitation. Scan your device with up-to-date antivirus software to detect any potential infections or unauthorized access. Report the domain to your browser’s security team or platforms like Google Safe Browsing to help block its distribution. If you entered sensitive data, change your passwords immediately, enable two-factor authentication on affected accounts, and monitor financial statements for unauthorized transactions. Consider freezing credit reports temporarily to prevent identity theft. Always verify the legitimacy of financial websites by cross-referencing official domains and contact information from trusted sources before engaging. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260426-C7EED3 Favicon MD5: 1cc5c6f6c865729c22bb826fcad94b58 TLS cert SHA-256: 7c0920360e222c60f48be82cab10949451be8e4e491ddf68dc773c7585031b72 ## 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/usdcsavings.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=usdcsavings.icu 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.
