usdc052.com is an impersonation phishing site whose domain uses the USDC stablecoin name with a numeric suffix. That pattern is meant to look like a legitimate USDC portal to people holding or trading the token. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-09. The site has been offline since 2026-10-14, its content blocked at the provider level, and it was still down when last checked on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Sites like this borrow the credibility of a well-known asset to lure visitors into a fake service. Typical lures are a fake balance, a bonus or a "verification" step. The victim is then asked to connect a wallet and sign transactions, enter a recovery phrase, or send USDC as a deposit. Any of these can hand control of the funds to the operator, and stablecoin transfers cannot be reversed. The page itself carried the title "onkeyon", which does not match the USDC branding in the domain, while our classification is impersonation phishing.
Evidence
Independent detection is thin. On 2026-10-13, 2 of 92 VirusTotal engines (Gridinsoft and LevelBlue) marked the domain as malicious. PhishDestroy is the only blocklist carrying it, so most browsers and security tools will not warn a visitor. Four AlienVault OTX threat pulses reference the domain, which shows other researchers have linked it to suspicious activity.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. on 2025-12-29, more than nine months before PhishDestroy caught it. That gap suggests the name was held in reserve or used quietly before this campaign surfaced. It sat behind Cloudflare, with the edge address geolocated to Canada, so the actual origin server is hidden. Its certificate came from Google Trust Services (WE1), an automated issuer, so the padlock said nothing about who ran the site.
What to do
If you connected a wallet to usdc052.com, check your token approvals and revoke any you do not recognize, especially unlimited USDC allowances. If you typed in a recovery phrase, treat that wallet as compromised and move the remaining assets to a new wallet created on a clean device. Do not send more funds to "unlock" or "verify" a balance, because those requests are part of the theft. Security teams should block the domain, search DNS and proxy logs for past visits, and watch for other USDC-named domains with numeric suffixes.

冻结卡片 如果您在钓鱼网站上输入了银行信息
我应该为报告收集哪些信息？
联邦调查局（FBI）指南
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.
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
当地警方 — 即使无法立即采取行动，也能留下正式记录
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?
虚假网站 — 与正规网站完全一致的克隆网站，仅域名略有改动
猪的屠宰 — 通过Telegram/WhatsApp/交友软件花数周时间建立信任，随后钱被骗走
退款诈骗 — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
