checks-secure.com

The domain www.checks-secure.com was observed hosting a crypto‑drainer campaign that targets users of the WalletConnect service. The site presented the page title “SumSub | Verification”, a title unrelated to WalletConnect, indicating a possible attempt to lure victims through a forged verification flow. The domain was registered on 13 August 2025 via HOSTINGER operations, UAB and is served by the generic parking nameservers ns1.dns-parking.com and ns2.dns-parking.com. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 84.32.84.151, which belongs to AS47583 (Hostinger International Limited) and is geolocated in Lithuania. No TLS certificate was observed, meaning the site was reachable only over HTTP, a typical characteristic of many low‑cost phishing kits. The infrastructure is identified as a “Wallet Connect Abuse” drainer kit and explicitly impersonates the WalletConnect brand, matching the listed scam type “Crypto Scam”.

Detection evidence shows the domain appears on one security blocklist and has been blocked by PhishDestroy. On AlienVault OTX the domain appears in two threat‑intelligence pulses, providing independent confirmation of malicious intent. VirusTotal analysis recorded two positive detections out of ninety‑three scanned scanners, reinforcing the suspicion. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 / 100, indicating a highly untrusted host. The site’s current HTTP status is reported as offline, suggesting the operators have taken the domain down or are rotating infrastructure.

Uncertainty remains regarding the exact content of the landing page, the specific payload delivered, and whether any active transaction‑draining scripts were ever executed before the takedown. No SSL certificate, limited blocklist presence, and modest VirusTotal detections leave open the possibility that the campaign was short‑lived or operated in a limited geographic scope.
