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: 2021-10-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-25 12:25:43 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-25 10:28:25 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 00:20:34 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/019efe4f-116d-74c8-861d-b95dafef7114/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e82c5cd1-48c0-4bff-b9a1-dca7825c1070 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/walletconnectdev.burnghost.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.walletconnectdev.burnghost.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=walletconnectdev.burnghost.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/walletconnectdev.burnghost.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/walletconnectdev.burnghost.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 17:59:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, walletconnectdev.burnghost.com, is flagged as an active brand impersonation threat specifically targeting WalletConnect, a widely used protocol for connecting decentralized applications to crypto wallets. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to deceive users into interacting with malicious smart contracts or disclosing wallet credentials, likely facilitating unauthorized transactions or crypto asset drainage. The domain exhibits characteristics consistent with crypto drainer kits, including the use of a deceptive subdomain structure and hosting on cloud infrastructure commonly exploited for phishing operations. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on October 27, 2021, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and currently resolves to IP address 18.244.18.16, hosted on Amazon.com, Inc. infrastructure (AS16509) in Germany. The SSL certificate is issued by Amazon RSA 2048 M01, a common provider for both legitimate and malicious domains. VirusTotal detection shows 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, while it appears on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy. The domain has not been listed on Google Safe Browsing as of the latest assessment. As of the most recent verification, walletconnectdev.burnghost.com remains active and unresolved, posing a continued risk to users of the targeted brand. The domain's longevity, combined with its hosting on reputable cloud infrastructure, increases the likelihood of successful deception. Users are advised to verify domain authenticity through official channels before interaction, enable multi-factor authentication on all crypto wallets, and monitor wallet activity for unauthorized transactions. Organizations should consider implementing domain monitoring for similar impersonation patterns and updating blocklists to include this infrastructure. The remaining risk level is classified as high due to the domain's persistence, targeted nature, and potential for financial loss. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260625-8834FB Favicon MD5: a9711df48081ef17f5ec7bc6b5482f4f TLS cert SHA-256: 3ce9ddfdd7f01783b8834afbbe163b994c9b123c25dcc82d23d8e67542eeb274 ## 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/walletconnectdev.burnghost.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=walletconnectdev.burnghost.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.
