v3-exodus.org is an impersonation phishing site built around the Exodus wallet brand. It targets people who hold crypto in Exodus. The "v3" prefix makes the address look like a new version or upgrade portal. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-16, and as of 2026-10-19 the site was still alive and serving content behind a protection layer.
How the scam works
Pages that copy a self-custody wallet like Exodus usually push a fake update, migration or verification step. That step ends with the visitor typing in their 12-word recovery phrase or installing a tampered app. Anyone who holds that phrase controls the wallet, so the attacker can empty it from their own device without any further action from the victim. When we checked, the page title read "Attention Required! | Cloudflare", a challenge screen rather than Exodus branding. Our classification as Exodus impersonation phishing still stands.
Evidence
On 2026-09-24, VirusTotal showed 13 of 89 engines flagging the domain. The vendors included ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, ESET, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet and Gridinsoft. Crypto-focused blocklists agree: MetaMask and SEAL list it alongside PhishDestroy, so wallet software that uses those lists can warn users before the page loads. The domain also appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, which shows other researchers have tracked it independently.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-09-16, the same day PhishDestroy detected it. That pattern is typical of throwaway phishing domains set up for a fast campaign. It was registered through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu. It sits behind Cloudflare, Inc., with the edge address geolocated to Canada, which hides the origin server.
What to do
If you entered your Exodus recovery phrase on this site, treat the wallet as compromised. Create a new wallet with a fresh phrase on a clean device and move any remaining funds there right away. Never reuse the old phrase. If you downloaded anything from the site, uninstall it, scan the device, and reinstall Exodus only from the official source. If you connected a wallet and signed transactions, review and revoke any token approvals you do not recognise. Remember that Exodus never asks for your recovery phrase. Security teams should block the domain at DNS and proxy level and add it to wallet and email filtering lists.

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
针对受害者的建议与指导
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
我应该立即采取什么措施？
紧急

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
