This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-23 11:56:39 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-23 09:57:52 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 16:20:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-23 12:17:37 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ef3e8-2a4b-72a2-8b4f-66a1c5ac9d20/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/0b8b3800-c6bd-489d-8df1-11c4e0a348b5 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/usdt-ils.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.usdt-ils.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=usdt-ils.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/usdt-ils.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/usdt-ils.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:23:17 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-ils.xyz has been assessed as a crypto drainer phishing site with an elevated risk level. This domain is designed to deceive users into providing sensitive information, particularly related to cryptocurrency exchanges, which could lead to financial loss. Infrastructure analysis reveals that usdt-ils.xyz has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, indicating a highly untrustworthy site. The domain resolves to the IP address 216.150.16.193 and was registered through DYNADOT LLC on June 21, 2026. According to VirusTotal, 5 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious. Additionally, the domain appears on 1 security blocklist and is currently blocked by PhishDestroy. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, which does not inherently indicate trustworthiness and is often used by malicious actors to gain user confidence. To mitigate the risks associated with usdt-ils.xyz, organizations should update their DNS blacklists and firewall rules to block traffic to this domain. Users should be educated on the signs of phishing, such as suspicious URLs and requests for sensitive information, particularly in the context of cryptocurrency exchanges. Regular security audits and monitoring of network traffic are recommended to detect and prevent any unauthorized access or data exfiltration. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260623-F079EF Favicon MD5: 3e11659b202b9db24eb6d99075d9ea41 TLS cert SHA-256: 6eeb8e656e7a6b10522bdd81211d9140bd63196c5453f973eb4dabfcb095c3cc ## 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-ils.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=usdt-ils.xyz 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.
