# PhishDestroy threat dossier — walletmonkeyfinance.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-02 07:59:55 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/walletmonkeyfinance.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 83/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 173.254.238.253 (US, Los Angeles) ASN: ASAS36352 AS-COLOCROSSING - HostPapa, US Hosting org: AS36352 HostPapa Registrar: NAMECHEAP INC Nameservers: dns1.registrar-servers.com, dns2.registrar-servers.com Registered: 2026-05-08 Expires: 2027-05-08 HTTP response: 526 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Unspecified / 173-254-238-250.respcap.com Expires: 2027-06-09 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: f4bf92bbc91ce06828f413cdeee7e2282e1daf4d6de934da16e04dbc485a7fef Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - 173-254-238-250.respcap.com ## 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: 2026-05-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-25 02:55:42 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-25 01:05:28 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 08:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-26 00:02:31 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efc44-f5cb-7231-b3f2-7cdae0932cc4/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/b31740e2-4843-4f90-a3ad-d9a6617f1689 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/walletmonkeyfinance.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.walletmonkeyfinance.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=walletmonkeyfinance.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/walletmonkeyfinance.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/walletmonkeyfinance.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 03:00:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, walletmonkeyfinance.com, is currently under investigation as an active crypto drainer infrastructure. Analysis indicates that this domain is designed to facilitate unauthorized cryptocurrency transfers from victims' wallets. The threat is characterized by its targeted exploitation of user trust in seemingly legitimate financial services, specifically within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. No active detections have been recorded on VirusTotal at this time, suggesting that signature-based defenses have not yet identified this infrastructure as malicious. Infrastructure analysis reveals that walletmonkeyfinance.com was registered on May 08, 2026, through NAMECHEAP INC, a registrar frequently observed in malicious domain campaigns. The domain resolves to the IP address 173.254.238.253, which is associated with hosting providers known for accommodating high-risk or malicious activity. As of the last scan, this domain remains unresolved by blocklists, and no trust or reputational scores are available, indicating either recent deployment or deliberate obfuscation of its infrastructure. The lack of VirusTotal detections (0/95) further suggests that this domain has not yet propagated through automated detection systems, increasing the risk of successful exploitation by threat actors. Given the specific threat type, mitigation steps must prioritize proactive detection and prevention. Users should refrain from interacting with walletmonkeyfinance.com or any associated subdomains or affiliated pages, as the domain is designed to harvest cryptocurrency wallet credentials or directly drain funds. Organizations are advised to implement network-level blocking for the IP address 173.254.238.253 and the domain walletmonkeyfinance.com to prevent access. Additionally, cryptocurrency wallet users should verify the legitimacy of websites soliciting wallet connections, use hardware wallet isolation where possible, and monitor blockchain transactions for unauthorized transfers. Security teams should also consider submitting detection signatures to threat intelligence platforms to aid in identifying this infrastructure as it becomes more widely recognized. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260625-BFC373 Favicon MD5: f98e60adf6d39c489271a153d849b87f TLS cert SHA-256: f4bf92bbc91ce06828f413cdeee7e2282e1daf4d6de934da16e04dbc485a7fef ## 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/walletmonkeyfinance.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=walletmonkeyfinance.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.
