No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-07 09:45:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-07 06:45:43 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-07 14:00:39 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e012d-2208-77ab-9e5c-407ae68b1ca1/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/usdtchecker.co.in crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.usdtchecker.co.in Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=usdtchecker.co.in AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/usdtchecker.co.in URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/usdtchecker.co.in/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-07 09:47:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies usdtchecker.co.in as an active USDT drainer phishing domain designed to steal Tether (USDT) tokens from unsuspecting cryptocurrency users. Registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, the domain mimics legitimate USDT verification portals to trick victims into connecting their wallets and authorizing malicious token transfers. No advanced drainer kit signatures have been extracted from the landing page so far, but the phishing lures strongly suggest on-chain fund exfiltration via fake wallet signature prompts once the victim connects a wallet and approves a transaction. This domain was flagged on May 03, 2026, according to DNS intelligence records, and resolves to a single IPv4 address—35.157.26.135—hosted on an Amazon AWS EC2 subnet. VirusTotal scanning engines currently show zero detections (0/95), indicating the domain remains under the radar of most antivirus and threat intelligence platforms. The domain is secured with a publicly trusted Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may further reduce suspicion among non-technical users. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not yet listed the domain, and no public blocklists have flagged it as of discovery. These technical indicators suggest a recently deployed campaign with low detection coverage. As of the latest forensic assessment, usdtchecker.co.in remains active and under investigation by multiple threat intelligence teams. While no immediate takedown has occurred, the zero detection status may change rapidly as signature-based defenses catch up. Users are strongly advised to avoid accessing this domain and to verify any USDT-related verification portals directly from the official tether.to website. The remaining risk is assessed as high due to the domain’s recent deployment, evasion of current detection systems, and active hosting infrastructure. Users connecting wallets to unverified sites risk irreversible token loss and should treat this domain as hostile until proven otherwise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260507-B1E00F TLS cert SHA-256: f5678bbd643e446a40cd6f09005c13f5e709665c1a1372da9cece6e76c7354c4 ## 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/usdtchecker.co.in/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=usdtchecker.co.in 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.
