Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, walletconnect.cloud, is actively operating as a crypto drainer, specifically targeting users of the WalletConnect protocol. The site is designed to deceive victims into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets, enabling unauthorized transactions and asset theft. As of the latest analysis, the domain remains active and poses a critical risk to users who may unknowingly interact with it. Infrastructure analysis reveals that walletconnect.cloud was registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, and currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.217.162. The domain was created on May 19, 2026, an anomalous date suggesting potential manipulation of registration records. Security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged this domain, with 15 out of 95 vendors marking it as malicious. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which, while legitimate, does not mitigate the domain's fraudulent intent. The page title, Suspected Phishing | Cloudflare, further indicates its deceptive nature, as it leverages Cloudflare's infrastructure to evade detection. The current status of walletconnect.cloud is active, and it continues to host a crypto drainer kit associated with Wallet Connect abuse. Organizations and individuals are advised to block this domain at the network level and update endpoint protection rules to prevent access. Users should be educated to verify the authenticity of WalletConnect-related domains before connecting their wallets. Cryptocurrency wallet providers are recommended to monitor for connections originating from this domain and alert users to potential compromise. Immediate action is required to mitigate the risk of financial loss and credential theft. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260702-883F53 Favicon MD5: 3a9c0552a4679759b1faecd611544009 ## 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/walletconnect.cloud/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=walletconnect.cloud 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.
