# PhishDestroy threat dossier — web3walletsbackup.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-20 15:33:03 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/web3walletsbackup.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 95/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 66.45.251.125 (US, New York City) Hosting org: AS19318 Interserver, Inc Registrar: COSMOTOWN, INC. Nameservers: da300a.trouble-free.net, da300b.trouble-free.net Registered: 2025-12-20 Expires: 2026-12-20 Page title: Web3 Wallets Backup — Secure Web3 Wallet Backup for Crypto HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE1 Expires: 2026-08-27 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 804a3bf3065c8d9f227040aabcacabdad421c865b2e3f4abaec6398abb0b7457 ## 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: 2025-12-20 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-30 04:35:35 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-30 02:38:23 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-20 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-30 06:30:49 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e7684-d895-733a-98d1-75e52464d198/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/3a5c0cb3-1430-4a0f-a04d-3ddb2518bc08 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/web3walletsbackup.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.web3walletsbackup.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=web3walletsbackup.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/web3walletsbackup.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/web3walletsbackup.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:46:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain web3walletsbackup.com has been identified as a crypto drainer, a class of malicious website designed to trick users into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets and then drain their funds. The site masqueraded as a legitimate Web3 wallet backup service, with a page title reading "Web3 Wallets Backup — Secure Web3 Wallet Backup for Crypto." This type of scam often targets users seeking to secure their recovery phrases or backup their wallets, luring them into entering sensitive information or authorizing malicious transactions. Technical indicators paint a clear picture of a high-risk threat. Security vendor VirusTotal flagged the domain with 6 out of 95 detections, a strong signal from multiple independent security tools. The domain was registered through COSMOTOWN, INC., a registrar known for low scrutiny, and it was created on December 20, 2025, making it a very recent threat. It resolved to IP address 66.45.251.125 and used an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt (identifier YE1), which provides encryption but does not indicate legitimacy. Additionally, the domain appears on at least 1 security blocklist, confirming its malicious reputation. As of this assessment, the site is currently offline, which may indicate that it was taken down by hosting providers or law enforcement, or the scammers may have moved to a new domain. However, given the recent creation date and the specific targeting of Web3 users, there is a remaining risk that similar sites will appear under different domains. Users are strongly advised to never connect their wallets to unknown sites, to verify any backup service through official channels, and to always consult resources like PhishDestroy before interacting with suspicious domains. If you have already interacted with this site, consider revoking any permissions granted to it and moving funds to a fresh wallet. Stay vigilant and double-check every URL before signing any transaction.

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/web3walletsbackup.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=web3walletsbackup.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.
