comfy-ui.io presents itself as ComfyUI, the popular node-based interface for building Stable Diffusion and other visual AI pipelines. Its page title, "ComfyUI — Node Control for Visual AI Workflows", is written to pass for the real project in search results and shared links. It targets AI artists, hobbyists and developers looking for the software. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-28. As of 2026-10-19 the domain still responded, but its page content was no longer resolving.
How the scam works
ComfyUI is free, open-source software, so anyone searching for it expects a download page. That expectation is what lookalike domains like this exploit. Such pages typically offer a fake installer, a bundled "portable" build or a model pack. The download can carry an infostealer that harvests browser passwords, session cookies and crypto wallet files. Other variants ask visitors to sign in or pay for a premium tier that does not exist. Either way, the victim loses account access, stored credentials or money, and gets none of the real software.
Evidence
On 2026-10-03, seven of 91 VirusTotal engines classified the domain as malicious: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, Seclookup, SOCRadar and URLQuery. That is a modest count, but it comes from vendors working independently of one another. The domain also appears in four AlienVault OTX threat pulses, so other researchers have tracked it as well. It is listed on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Spaceship, Inc. on 2026-06-17, roughly three months before PhishDestroy caught it. That gap leaves time to rank in search results or circulate in AI communities before anyone reports it. The site sits behind Cloudflare, with the address geolocated to Canada. This setup hides the actual origin server from view.
What to do
If you downloaded anything from comfy-ui.io, do not run it again and delete it. Scan the machine with an up-to-date security tool, and treat any browser-saved passwords and active sessions as compromised. Change those passwords from a separate clean device, and turn on two-factor authentication. If crypto wallets were on that computer, move the funds to a new wallet created on a clean system. Get ComfyUI only from the project's official repository. Defenders should block the domain, check proxy and endpoint logs for connections or downloads tied to it, and watch for further typo variants of the ComfyUI name.

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.

After a phishing incident
Recomendações e orientações para as vítimas
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
O que devo fazer agora mesmo?
Urgente
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Alterar todas as senhas — e-mail, contas do Exchange, qualquer coisa que use a mesma senha
Ativar a autenticação de dois fatores usando um aplicativo autenticador (não por SMS). Desative a recuperação por SMS
Cartões de congelamento se você inseriu dados bancários no site de phishing
Que informações devo coletar para o meu relatório?
Diretrizes do 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.
Datas e horários exatos — de cada transação e do primeiro contato com o golpista
Capturas de tela — sites fraudulentos, mensagens de bate-papo, e-mails, transações em carteiras digitais, redes sociais
Todas as URLs e domínios utilizado pelo golpista (incluindo comfy-ui.io)
Comunicações — e-mails, mensagens de texto, números de telefone e nomes de usuário que o golpista utilizou
Mesmo que você não tenha todos os detalhes — registre uma ocorrência mesmo assim. Mesmo informações parciais ainda ajudam nas investigações.
A quem devo denunciar o golpe?
FBI IC3 — Centro de Denúncias de Crimes na Internet (sistema federal de denúncias dos EUA)
Europol — Relatórios sobre crimes cibernéticos na Europa (UE)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Polícia local — cria um registro oficial, mesmo que não possam agir imediatamente
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?
Sites falsos — clones idênticos, até o último pixel, de sites legítimos, com domínios ligeiramente alterados
Abate de suínos — confiança construída ao longo de semanas pelo Telegram, WhatsApp e aplicativos de namoro; em seguida, o dinheiro foi roubado
Golpes relacionados à recuperação — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Golpes baseados em IA — deepfakes, phishing automatizado e sites gerados por IA, o que torna a fraude mais difícil de detectar
Como posso me proteger no futuro?
Adicione os sites oficiais aos favoritos — nunca clique em links de e-mails, mensagens diretas ou anúncios
Verificar domínios — verificar PhishDestroy antes de interagir. Verifique se o site usa HTTPS, a ortografia e a idade do domínio
"Bom demais para ser verdade" = golpe — retornos garantidos, endossos de celebridades, prazos urgentes
