Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies vote-backpack.exchange as a high-risk domain impersonating the legitimate Backpack brand, a known crypto exchange and wallet platform supporting Solana, Ethereum, and Bitcoin. This fraudulent site mimicked Backpack’s branding to deceive users, potentially aiming to harvest credentials or crypto assets. Its use of a brand impersonation tactic categorizes it as a significant threat to user security in the cryptocurrency space. The domain was registered recently on December 26, 2025, through NameCheap, Inc., and resolved to the IP address 188.114.97.3. It was flagged on six separate security blocklists and detected by 13 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating a strong consensus on its malicious nature. The webpage title “Home - Backpack: Crypto Exchange & Wallet | Solana, Ethereum & BTC” was crafted to enhance its legitimacy. Such infrastructure details underline its intent to deceive users by leveraging the reputation of the Backpack brand within the crypto community. Currently, vote-backpack.exchange is offline, effectively reducing immediate risk. PhishDestroy recommends users remain vigilant for similar brand impersonation attempts and avoid interacting with suspicious crypto-related domains. Users should verify URLs carefully and rely on official Backpack channels for crypto transactions. Continuous monitoring by security platforms is advised to detect any potential resurgence or new domains attempting to exploit the Backpack brand. ## 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/vote-backpack.exchange/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vote-backpack.exchange 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.
