Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies web-samouraiwallet.io as a high-risk brand impersonation scam targeting the Samourai Bitcoin wallet. This domain mimics the official Samourai Wallet service to deceive users into entering sensitive wallet credentials or downloading malicious software. The threat actor leverages a lookalike domain to exploit trust in established Bitcoin privacy tools, specifically designed to steal cryptocurrency funds or compromise user privacy. This domain was flagged by 7 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It was created on April 01, 2026, and despite active takedown efforts, remains accessible. The site uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate and resolves to IP 198.54.132.28, which may host other malicious services. Due to its recent creation and high impersonation accuracy, unsuspecting users are at significant risk of financial loss or data exposure. If you visited web-samouraiwallet.io, cease interaction immediately and do not enter any wallet seeds, private keys, or passwords. Scan your device with reputable antivirus software such as Malwarebytes, Windows Defender, or Bitdefender. If you entered any cryptocurrency-related credentials, transfer remaining funds to a new wallet using only official applications from verified sources. Report the domain to your wallet provider and consider blocking it via your hosts file or firewall. Always verify URLs manually or use bookmarked official links when accessing financial services. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 2292a4990d3d94adad3adb606388007f TLS cert SHA-256: 61b4182ae62b8e0c82dee795ad1dabd842e9485c8f07de1c806e5287c14e2567 ## 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/web-samouraiwallet.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=web-samouraiwallet.io 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.
