Domain Security & Threat Intelligence Report“IPFS Launchpad Gateway - EVM Wallet Verification”
Technical indicators confirm elevated risk despite low detection counts. VirusTotal currently shows 0/95 antivirus detections as of seed 0f28b4, indicating that signature-based defenses have not yet flagged this campaign. The site is served via Cloudflare Pages (registered through Cloudflare, Inc.) and resolves to IP 172.66.47.73 on AS13335. The domain’s SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, adding a false veneer of legitimacy. While the domain’s exact creation date is not publicly disclosed, the use of pages.dev implies a recently deployed campaign targeting IPFS users.
Users who may have visited this domain should immediately audit accounts for unauthorized access, especially IPFS nodes, wallet integrations, or email accounts linked to IPFS services. If credentials were entered on ipfs-validates[.]pages[.]dev, change passwords immediately and revoke any API tokens or SSH keys associated with the compromised account. Enable two-factor authentication wherever possible and monitor linked financial accounts for unusual transactions. To prevent future exposure, block the domain at the network level using DNS filtering and avoid IPFS-related services that redirect through untrusted pages.dev subdomains. Report the domain to your security team or via PhishDestroy’s submission portal to aid in broader threat intelligence.

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with ipfs-validates.pages.dev — act now.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
- Revoke token approvals — use revoke.cash to remove access granted to malicious smart contracts
- Move remaining funds to a brand-new wallet. The compromised wallet is no longer safe
- Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
- Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
- Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
According to the FBI, the most important details are transaction data:
- Cryptocurrency addresses — scammer's wallet (e.g.,
0x5856...35985) - Amount & crypto type — exact amount (e.g., 1.02345 ETH, 0.5 BTC, 500 USDT)
- Transaction ID (hash) — the unique blockchain transaction identifier
- Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
- Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
- All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including
ipfs-validates.pages.dev) - Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
- FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
- Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
- Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
- Your crypto exchange — contact Coinbase/Binance/Kraken support to freeze scammer's address
- Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
The FBI recovered over $1 billion in crypto fraud in 2024 thanks to victim reports. Your report matters.
How do crypto scams typically work?
- Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
- Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
- Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
- Recovery scams — victims targeted AGAIN by fake "recovery agents" demanding upfront fees. Always a scam
- Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
- AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
- Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
- Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
- Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
- Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
- "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
How big is the crypto scam problem?
- $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 — CoinLedger
- Pig butchering losses grew 40% year over year, now the fastest-growing fraud type
- Only ~5% of victims report — your report helps shut down criminal networks
- FBI recovered $1B+ in 2024 thanks to victim reports — FBI.gov
