No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-10 14:39:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-12 21:59:35 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 12:20:40 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4c09-03e1-7468-a466-1c9be68dd030/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/4bc4255e-757a-4ad9-af12-8f98d95fd07c Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/usdt0.co crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.usdt0.co Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=usdt0.co AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/usdt0.co URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/usdt0.co/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-10 15:00:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, usdt0.co, is flagged as an active crypto drainer phishing site targeting users through a fraudulent stablecoin ecosystem portal. Analysis indicates the site impersonates a legitimate cross-chain stablecoin platform, using the page title 'USDT0: Cross-Chain Stablecoin Movement, Security, and Ecosystem' to lure victims into connecting wallets or entering private keys. No specific drainer kit has been attributed yet, but the infrastructure aligns with known crypto theft operations, particularly those exploiting Tether (USDT) branding to gain trust. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain currently resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and was registered on June 12, 2026, through Tucows Domains Inc. VirusTotal reports 0 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, suggesting it has not yet been widely detected. The domain is not listed on Google Safe Browsing (GSB) or major blocklists, though this may reflect its recent deployment rather than legitimacy. The absence of prior detections increases the risk of user exposure before mitigation. Current status remains active, with no takedown or sinkholing observed. Response actions are pending further forensic validation, including behavioral analysis of the site’s wallet interaction scripts and cross-referencing with known drainer infrastructure. The remaining risk is elevated due to the domain’s plausible branding, recent registration, and undetected status. Users are advised to avoid interacting with the site, verify wallet connections independently, and monitor for unauthorized transactions. Organizations should consider preemptive blocking of the domain and IP at the network level to prevent potential asset compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-BD4963 Favicon MD5: 6e8f59dac631822847083fcfbd726e5f TLS cert SHA-256: 856c96ee4142f6d40b150f5a76abc0b114cc9efc01832b0f6e582a2c439a1f05 ## 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/usdt0.co/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=usdt0.co 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.
