# PhishDestroy threat dossier — usdtgame.lol ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-20 16:37:12 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/usdtgame.lol/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 57/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/92 security vendors flagged this domain ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.158.237 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NAMECHEAP INC Nameservers: demi.ns.cloudflare.com, jay.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-04-19 Page title: seotda1 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-18 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 207ecde7443c1e74cb38d843b48d84a3e7314ad9eb24f6534835ddef203e61f2 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-04-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-07 09:40:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-07 06:40:45 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-18 01:40:07 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-14 04:32:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e0128-2b08-720c-98c9-0db4b2902fc5/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/usdtgame.lol crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.usdtgame.lol Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=usdtgame.lol AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/usdtgame.lol URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/usdtgame.lol/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-07 09:41:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies usdtgame.lol as an active cryptocurrency phishing domain designed to impersonate legitimate USDT gaming platforms and steal victim funds through deceptive deposit schemes. This domain was flagged for hosting a generic phishing lure targeting unsuspecting users interested in blockchain-based gaming opportunities. Upon interaction, victims are prompted to connect cryptocurrency wallets or make deposits under the false pretense of accessing exclusive gaming rewards or tournament entries. Transaction analysis reveals that deposited USDT tokens are immediately transferred to attacker-controlled wallets, with no service or payout provided to the victim. This domain mimics authentic gaming interfaces using stolen branding and fabricated user testimonials to enhance credibility and lower user suspicion. The technical indicators supporting this assessment include a VirusTotal detection rate of 0 detections out of 95 scanning engines as of the most recent scan, indicating that signature-based defenses have not yet identified this threat. The domain was registered through NAMECHEAP INC on April 19, 2026, and resolves to IP address 172.67.158.237, which hosts multiple known fraudulent domains. Despite its short operational history, the presence of a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate suggests an attempt to establish trustworthiness and evade browser warnings. The domain's recent creation date and low detection profile indicate an actively evolving threat likely operating under a short time horizon to avoid prolonged exposure. Security researchers have marked this domain as active but under investigation, suggesting ongoing monitoring for additional malicious infrastructure linking. Users who have visited usdtgame.lol should immediately cease any interaction with the site and disconnect their cryptocurrency wallets from any connected applications. If any deposits were made to wallet addresses associated with this domain, users must revoke wallet connections, transfer remaining funds to a new cold wallet, and report the incident to local cybercrime units or platforms like Chainalysis or local law enforcement. Enable multi-factor authentication on all crypto exchange and wallet accounts, and consider using hardware wallets with address verification features to prevent future unauthorized transactions. Users are advised to report this domain to security platforms such as Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, and their browser's built-in phishing protection systems. Consider sharing transaction hashes and wallet addresses with crypto security communities to aid in tracking and takedown efforts. Regular monitoring of blockchain transactions for outgoing transfers to known scam addresses is recommended for individuals who may have been exposed. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260507-22F379 Favicon MD5: 9c2c06c2362a63f430ec9c8648aca32d TLS cert SHA-256: 207ecde7443c1e74cb38d843b48d84a3e7314ad9eb24f6534835ddef203e61f2 ## 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/usdtgame.lol/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=usdtgame.lol 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.
