militarydefensewelfare.online is an impersonation phishing site whose name suggests an official military or defense welfare body. That kind of branding targets service members' families, partners and people approached by someone claiming to be a soldier. PhishDestroy first flagged the domain on 2026-09-03. It has been offline since 2026-10-14 and was still unreachable when checked on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Fake military welfare portals usually support a story told elsewhere: a "soldier" met online needs a leave permit, a welfare release or a communication fee, and the victim is sent to an official-looking site to pay it or submit identity documents. Payments are often requested in crypto or gift cards because they are hard to reverse. Victims lose the money they send and any personal or ID data they enter. When last captured, the page returned only the title "406 Not Acceptable," an error response rather than branded content, while our classification is impersonation phishing.
Evidence
Fourteen of 89 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain as of 2026-09-11. Those engines include Bfore.Ai PreCrime, BitDefender, CRDF, ESET, Emsisoft, Fortinet, G-Data and Gridinsoft, so several unrelated vendors independently reached the same verdict. The domain also appears in four AlienVault OTX threat pulses. Among blocklists, it is listed by PhishDestroy.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Spaceship, Inc. on 2025-11-03, about ten months before PhishDestroy detected it. That gap suggests the domain was either held in reserve or ran quietly before it was put to use. It was hosted in the US on the Aquiryn LLC network at 23.153.104.17, with a free Let's Encrypt certificate that gave it a padlock but says nothing about who runs it.
What to do
If you paid a "welfare," leave or release fee through this site, stop all further payments, because these schemes keep inventing new charges. Report the transfer to your bank, card issuer or the exchange you sent crypto from. If you uploaded ID documents or personal details, watch for identity fraud and consider a credit freeze. Report the contact who sent you the link to the platform where you met them, and to your national fraud authority. Defenders should block the domain and the 23.153.104.17 address and search mail and proxy logs for earlier visits.

After a phishing incident
Rekomendasi & Saran bagi Para Korban
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
Apa yang harus saya lakukan segera?
Mendesak
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Ubah semua kata sandi — email, akun Exchange, apa pun yang menggunakan kata sandi yang sama
Aktifkan 2FA menggunakan aplikasi otentikator (bukan SMS). Nonaktifkan pemulihan berbasis SMS
Kartu pembeku jika Anda telah memasukkan detail perbankan di situs phishing tersebut
Informasi apa saja yang sebaiknya saya kumpulkan untuk laporan saya?
Pedoman FBI
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Tanggal dan waktu yang tepat — dari setiap transaksi dan kontak pertama dengan penipu
Tangkapan layar — situs web penipuan, pesan obrolan, email, transaksi dompet digital, media sosial
Semua URL & domain digunakan oleh penipu (termasuk militarydefensewelfare.online)
Komunikasi — email, pesan teks, nomor telepon, dan nama pengguna yang digunakan oleh penipu tersebut
Meskipun kamu belum mengetahui semua detailnya — tetap saja ajukan laporan. Informasi yang tidak lengkap tetap dapat membantu penyelidikan.
Ke mana saya harus melaporkan penipuan ini?
FBI IC3 — Pusat Pengaduan Kejahatan Internet (Laporan tingkat federal AS)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Polisi setempat — membuat catatan resmi, meskipun mereka tidak dapat bertindak segera
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
Situs web palsu — salinan yang persis sama dengan situs asli, dengan domain yang sedikit diubah
Pemotongan babi — kepercayaan yang dibangun selama beberapa minggu melalui Telegram/WhatsApp/aplikasi kencan, lalu uangnya dicuri
Penipuan pemulihan — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Penipuan yang didukung oleh kecerdasan buatan — deepfakes, serangan phishing otomatis, dan situs yang dihasilkan oleh kecerdasan buatan (AI) yang membuat penipuan semakin sulit dideteksi
Bagaimana cara saya melindungi diri di masa depan?
Tandai situs resmi — jangan pernah mengklik tautan dari email, pesan langsung (DM), atau iklan
Memverifikasi domain — periksa PhishDestroy Sebelum berinteraksi. Periksa HTTPS, ejaan, dan usia domain
"Terlalu bagus untuk jadi kenyataan" = penipuan — imbal hasil yang dijamin, dukungan dari selebriti, tenggat waktu yang mendesak
