Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain venchik.xyz has been confirmed as a fraudulent cryptocurrency mixer platform designed to deceive users under the pretense of offering anonymous crypto swaps and mixing services for Arbitrum-based assets. Analysis indicates this is a crypto drainer phishing site, where victims are likely tricked into connecting wallets to malicious smart contracts that siphon funds. The domain is currently marked as taken_down, though residual risks may persist through cached or mirrored instances. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.204.210, which is part of a content delivery network known for hosting both legitimate and malicious content. The site is flagged by 4 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with detections including phishing and fraudulent activity. Additionally, it appears on one security blocklist, further corroborating its malicious classification. The page title, 'Venchik — Anonymous Crypto Swap & Mixer | Arbitr,' explicitly impersonates Arbitrum, a popular Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution, to lend credibility to the scam. Current status indicates the domain has been taken down, though threat actors may attempt to resurface under similar or newly registered domains. Users and organizations are advised to block the domain and its associated IP at the network level. Wallet providers and crypto platforms should flag any transactions linked to this domain or its infrastructure. Individuals who interacted with the site should revoke smart contract approvals, transfer assets to new wallets, and monitor accounts for unauthorized activity. Security teams are encouraged to correlate this domain with other known crypto drainer campaigns to identify broader attack patterns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-59022A Favicon MD5: 21c3bffcb5a3e0fc1f5b37265a1d2634 TLS cert SHA-256: 6de31504d3fab4873b67bfc20afa6a7a51a9375a19bbb58b4bef6217af4e8331 ## 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/venchik.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=venchik.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.
