union82.com is an impersonation phishing site. It posed as a legitimate service to win visitors' trust, and its presence on the MetaMask and SEAL blocklists points to crypto users as the intended targets. PhishDestroy first saw it on 2026-10-03, just four days after the domain was registered. The site has been offline since 2026-10-14 and was still dead when last checked on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Impersonation pages copy the look, wording and branding of a service people already trust, so the visitor believes they are on the real site. From there the page asks for something valuable, such as a login, a seed phrase, a deposit or a wallet connection. Anything submitted goes straight to the operators. In crypto, that usually means drained wallets or stolen accounts that cannot be recovered.
Evidence
Several independent sources back our classification. Spamhaus lists the domain in its DBL under the phishing category. MetaMask and SEAL, both focused on protecting crypto users, include it on their blocklists alongside PhishDestroy. On VirusTotal, only 3 of 91 engines flagged it as of 2026-10-05: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF and Fortinet. That low count is typical for a domain caught within days of launch and should not be read as a sign that the site was safe. One OTX threat-intelligence pulse also references the domain.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. on 2026-09-29 and was already being flagged four days later. A setup built and used this quickly is typical of throwaway phishing domains. The site was hosted on CTG Server Limited's network in Hong Kong. It stayed reachable for about eleven days after first detection before going offline.
What to do
If you entered a password on union82.com, change it on the genuine service and on any account that reuses it, then turn on app-based two-factor authentication. If you typed in a seed phrase or private key, treat that wallet as compromised and move any remaining funds to a new wallet created on a clean device. If you connected a wallet or signed a transaction there, review and revoke unfamiliar token approvals with a trusted revocation tool. Security teams should block the domain and its Hong Kong hosting IP at DNS and proxy level and search logs for any traffic to it between 2026-09-29 and 2026-10-14.
