No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-12 13:19:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-14 04:20:38 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f560d-5ead-757e-8935-c88105d58ef2/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/usdt-gateway-vip.netlify.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.usdt-gateway-vip.netlify.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=usdt-gateway-vip.netlify.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/usdt-gateway-vip.netlify.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/usdt-gateway-vip.netlify.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-12 17:19:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain usdt-gateway-vip.netlify.app is currently active and resolves to the IPv4 address 63.176.8.218. The address belongs to Amazon Web Services, EU Central (Frankfurt) region, indicating the infrastructure is hosted on an AWS EC2 instance. TLS is provided by a DigiCert Global G2 TLS RSA SHA256 2020 CA1 certificate, which is valid and presents a trusted chain, potentially increasing user confidence. A GET request to the site returns HTTP 200 and a page titled “Transfer Trust Wallet”. The page mimics the visual language of the Trust Wallet application, attempting to persuade visitors to submit cryptocurrency transfer details. Detected front‑end components include Netlify hosting, jsDelivr CDN, and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) headers, which are typical of legitimate services but are being leveraged to legitimize the fraudulent page. VirusTotal analysis shows that eight of ninety‑five security vendors flag the domain as malicious, and the site appears on three public blocklists (PhishDestroy, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish). The domain is registered through Netlify, and no authoritative nameservers are reported, suggesting reliance on Netlify’s DNS service. The combination of a trusted SSL certificate, legitimate‑looking CDN assets, and a high‑profile brand target raises the likelihood of successful credential or private‑key harvesting. Defenders should add usdt-gateway-vip.netlify.app to network and DNS blocklists, monitor outbound connections for attempts to resolve the IP 63.176.8.218, and enforce URL filtering for the “Transfer Trust Wallet” phrase. Incident response teams should treat any credentials submitted to this domain as compromised and advise affected users to rotate wallet keys and revoke any associated addresses. Continuous scanning of Netlify‑hosted subdomains for brand‑impersonation patterns is recommended to curtail similar campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: bc3a8134c21a842e64ea34d488826dd2ba50f59a3bcbaed1e6b71a4242de1478 ## 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 (operator 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-gateway-vip.netlify.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=usdt-gateway-vip.netlify.app 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
