Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies an active USDT deposit-themed phishing domain, usdt-deposit.pages.dev, currently under investigation for generic phishing activities. This fraudulent page masquerades as a legitimate cryptocurrency deposit interface, likely targeting users of Tether (USDT) transactions. No specific drainer kit or brand impersonation beyond USDT has been confirmed during initial analysis. The domain leverages Cloudflare Pages for hosting, which may provide a veneer of legitimacy to unsuspecting users. This setup is consistent with modern phishing operations that exploit reputable service providers to evade detection. The threat actor behind this domain appears to be experimenting with low-cost, high-reach strategies rather than employing sophisticated toolkits at this stage. This domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and is secured via a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may further enhance its perceived authenticity. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal reports 0/95 detections, indicating that most security engines have not yet flagged the domain. The domain is registered through Cloudflare, Inc., and the SSL certificate suggests active efforts to appear legitimate. The site is currently hosted on Cloudflare Pages, a service often exploited by threat actors to rapidly deploy and rotate phishing pages. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not yet blacklisted this domain, and third-party blocklists show no detections at this time. The domain's recent creation and clean reputation across major platforms underscore its potential for rapid escalation if left unchecked. The current status of usdt-deposit.pages.dev is active, with the threat under active monitoring by PhishDestroy. Response actions include ongoing threat intelligence collection, domain reputation tracking, and coordination with hosting providers and security vendors. Despite the lack of immediate detections on VirusTotal or blocklists, the domain poses a credible risk due to its thematic alignment with cryptocurrency transactions and the use of reputable infrastructure. Users are advised to exercise caution when navigating to this domain or engaging with any unsolicited USDT deposit links. The remaining risk is classified as 'under_investigation,' with the potential to escalate if additional malicious activities or drainer kits are identified. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c30c7d42707a47a3f4591831641e50dc TLS cert SHA-256: b32014bcb0e948277005f7806a8e2a0d469469cb573b0cb99f66c0fa65d7a9b1 ## 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/usdt-deposit.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=usdt-deposit.pages.dev 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.
