trust.kitchen was a phishing page posing as Trust Wallet. It targeted Chinese-speaking users with a fake recruitment drive for an AI beta-testing partner program. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-02. The site has been offline since 2026-09-11, and its DNS was still inactive when we last checked on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
The page title, "Trust Wallet AI 内测合伙人招募", translates to "Trust Wallet AI beta-test partner recruitment." It offers a bogus insider opportunity under a trusted wallet brand. Lures like this usually ask applicants to verify their wallet by entering a recovery phrase, connecting the wallet and signing a transaction, or paying a fee to join. Any of these hands control of the wallet, or the money, to the operators. Once a seed phrase is exposed, the attacker can empty the wallet from anywhere, and the theft cannot be reversed.
Evidence
Within two days of our first sighting, 13 of 90 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain. Those included ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet and G-Data. Google Safe Browsing listed it under social engineering. urlscan.io returned a malicious verdict and matched the page to the Trust Wallet brand. The domain is blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask and SEAL, and three AlienVault OTX threat pulses reference it, so several independent sources reached the same conclusion.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-09-01 through GNAME.COM PTE. LTD. and was detected the very next day. That timing points to a throwaway domain built for a short campaign. It was hosted in Hong Kong on Forewin Telecom Group Limited's network. The site stayed online for only about ten days before going dark.
What to do
If you typed your Trust Wallet recovery phrase into this page, treat the wallet as compromised. Create a new wallet with a fresh phrase on a clean device and move any remaining funds there immediately. If you connected a wallet or signed anything, revoke the token approvals you granted using a reputable approval checker. If you paid a joining or activation fee, do not send more money to "unlock" anything, and report the payment to your exchange and local police. Trust Wallet does not recruit beta partners through standalone sites asking for seed phrases. Security teams should block the domain and watch for lookalike Trust Wallet domains using the same Chinese-language recruitment lure.

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

How do phishing scams typically work?
가짜 웹사이트 — 도메인을 약간만 변경한, 정식 사이트와 픽셀 단위로 완벽하게 일치하는 복제 사이트
pig butchering — Telegram·왓츠앱·데이트 앱을 통해 몇 주에 걸쳐 신뢰를 쌓은 뒤, 돈을 훔쳐갔다
회복 사기 — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
AI를 이용한 사기 — 딥페이크, 자동화된 피싱, AI로 생성된 사이트 등으로 인해 사기 행각을 적발하기가 더 어려워지고 있다
