# PhishDestroy threat dossier — walletconnectdapps.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 21:41:53 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/walletconnectdapps.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer Targeted brand: WalletConnect Wallet drainer: Wallet Connect Abuse ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 7/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, SOCRadar, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 216.198.79.1 (US, Walnut) Hosting org: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/namesilo-killed-our-twitter https://phishdestroy.io/xmrwallet-namesilo-exposed Nameservers: ns1.vercel-dns.com, ns2.vercel-dns.com Registered: 2026-06-23 Expires: 2027-06-23 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-09-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 71f8d498a3b22e0d384eac4b94f640da5f04eaa3db9e66268ca09c58b9d87fda ## 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: 2026-06-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-25 10:49:50 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-28 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-26 00:02:48 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efdf7-cdc0-72a3-bd14-b3a6184757fa/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/walletconnectdapps.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.walletconnectdapps.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=walletconnectdapps.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/walletconnectdapps.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/walletconnectdapps.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:33:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, walletconnectdapps.com, poses a significant threat as a brand impersonation site targeting WalletConnect, a widely used protocol for connecting decentralized applications to cryptocurrency wallets. The site is designed to deceive users into believing they are interacting with legitimate WalletConnect services, potentially leading to credential theft, unauthorized transactions, or the installation of malicious software. The domain mimics the official branding, structure, and functionality of WalletConnect, making it difficult for users to distinguish between the legitimate service and the fraudulent site without careful inspection. Analysis indicates that walletconnectdapps.com was registered on June 23, 2026, through NameSilo, LLC, a registrar commonly used for both legitimate and malicious domains. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to the IP address 216.198.79.1, hosted on Amazon Web Services (AS16509) in the United States. Despite its recent creation date, the domain has already been flagged on four security blocklists, including those maintained by PhishDestroy, Polkadot, Enkrypt, and Codeesura. Notably, the domain has not yet been flagged by VirusTotal, with 0 out of 95 security vendors detecting it as malicious at the time of this report. The site uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (YR2), which provides HTTPS encryption but does not guarantee legitimacy. Users who have visited walletconnectdapps.com should take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. First, disconnect any wallets or accounts that may have been linked to the site and revoke any suspicious permissions granted to decentralized applications. Monitor connected wallets and financial accounts for unauthorized transactions and consider transferring assets to a new, secure wallet if compromise is suspected. Additionally, scan devices used to access the domain for malware or unwanted software. To prevent future incidents, verify domain authenticity by cross-referencing official sources and use security tools that block known phishing infrastructure. Exercise caution with domains that closely resemble legitimate services, particularly those involving financial or cryptocurrency transactions. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: dabc069955a20361791bc87b827e66a3 TLS cert SHA-256: 71f8d498a3b22e0d384eac4b94f640da5f04eaa3db9e66268ca09c58b9d87fda ## 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/walletconnectdapps.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=walletconnectdapps.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
