# PhishDestroy threat dossier — usdxproof.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-28 02:57:16 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/usdxproof.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 56/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Wallet/Seed Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 162.159.140.98 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameCheap, Inc. Nameservers: dns1.registrar-servers.com, dns2.registrar-servers.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2026-09-17 Page title: USDX Proof of Assets ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-25 04:13:37 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-28 04:22:05 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-12 00:01:13 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bf175-f36f-75bb-a3b9-731fb220922d/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/6d1239b2-1af7-478e-9e99-398893200208 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/usdxproof.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.usdxproof.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=usdxproof.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/usdxproof.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/usdxproof.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-24 09:32:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is usdxproof.com a Wallet/Seed Phishing Scam? Analysis as of July 24, 2026 indicates that the domain usdxproof.com was registered through NameCheap, Inc. on February 21, 2026 and resolves to the Cloudflare IP address 162.159.140.98, which is associated with ASN 13335 in the United States. The authoritative nameservers are dns1.registrar-servers.com and dns2.registrar-servers.com. No TLS certificate was observed, suggesting the site was served over plain HTTP. The only visible page element is the title “USDX Proof of Assets,” which aligns with the reported scam type of wallet/seed phishing. VirusTotal recorded a single positive detection out of 93 scanned security vendors, and the domain appears on one external blocklist that has been leveraged by the PhishDestroy mitigation service. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100, further indicating a lack of legitimacy. The site’s current status is offline, and it has been taken down from public access. Evidence points to a brief operational window in which the domain may have been used to lure cryptocurrency users into submitting wallet seeds or private keys. The limited detection footprint—only one vendor flagging—could reflect a short lifespan or evasion tactics, but the presence on a blocklist and the zero trust score provide independent confirmation of malicious intent. The lack of an SSL certificate and the generic page title hinder confidence in any legitimate purpose. Defenders should continue to block the domain at DNS and proxy layers, monitor for any residual traffic to the associated IP address, and consider adding the domain to internal blacklists. Incident responders should treat any credentials or seed phrases reported as compromised from interactions with usdxproof.com as potentially exposed. Ongoing observation of the hosting infrastructure is advised, as the underlying Cloudflare network may be reused for future phishing campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260125-EFF242 ## 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/usdxproof.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=usdxproof.com 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.
