What happened
The phishing-alert account @TheThreatWire posted on X on 12 November 2026 (Phishing Alert #141) that hxxps://2q7ci-niaaa-aaaad-qg66q-cai.icp0.io/index.html is a phishing page impersonating ICPesa, a Bitcoin and ckBTC payment gateway. icp0.io is a shared gateway domain for Internet Computer apps; only this subdomain is reported here, and ICPesa is impersonated and is not the operator. Never connect a wallet or approve a payment on a page reached from an unsolicited link. Source: https://x.com/TheThreatWire/status/2120846685236863105
How the scam works
Crypto phishing and draining sites ask you to connect a wallet, sign a transaction, 'claim' a token, or paste a recovery phrase. Once you approve the request, the operator can empty the wallet. Address-poisoning works differently: the operator sends dust or zero-value transfers from a look-alike address so that, later, a hurried copy-paste from the transaction history goes to them instead of to the address you meant. Always check every character of an address, and never connect a wallet or enter a seed phrase on a site you reached from a message, a pop-up or a look-alike URL. Official wallet and exchange brands named in a lure are not involved.
If a message, a page or a caller creates urgency about money, a login or a legal threat, pause and check the claim through a contact method you already trust. Keep screenshots, reference numbers and the exact addresses or phone numbers you were given, and tell your bank early if money has already left the account. Official brands and authorised firms named in a lure are not involved unless a primary source says otherwise.
