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: 2025-09-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-09-16 15:21:22 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-26 20:21:51 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 12:48:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019953c2-7558-76ae-8a7b-c2c86650ba0d/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/wallettconect.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.wallettconect.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=wallettconect.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/wallettconect.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/wallettconect.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-24 03:41:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] wallettconect.com Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy This report details wallettconect.com, a malicious domain impersonating the legitimate WalletConnect brand. It is categorized as a cryptocurrency scam, posing a significant threat of credential theft and financial fraud by tricking users into connecting their crypto wallets to a fraudulent interface. Technical analysis reveals the domain is flagged by 14 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, including ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, and CyRadar. It is listed on one blocklist. The domain was registered on 2025-09-11 via Atak Domain, hosted on IP 198.251.89.30 (US) under AS53667 FranTech Solutions, and uses nameservers ns1a.tela-host.com and ns2a.tela-host.com. The site has no SSL certificate and has a GridinSoft trust score of 0/100. The domain is currently DOWN or OFFLINE. Based on the high detection rate, impersonation of a known brand, cryptocurrency scam classification, and zero trust rating, the risk level is assessed as Critical. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 14/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## 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/wallettconect.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=wallettconect.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
