The domain name of a Bitcoin privacy wallet, which fell under the control of criminals in 2026 and has since ceased operations, has resurfaced. This domain is functioning as a phishing trap aimed at deceiving users. Users have been warned that the cryptocurrency domain, confiscated by the US, has fallen into the hands of scammers.
Redaksiya reports that the domain name associated with Samourai Wallet, once a well-known non-custodial Bitcoin privacy tool, is currently being used to distribute malicious software. This appears to be an attempt to steal users' personal information and financial assets.
The Samourai Wallet project was a tool that allowed users to have full control over their Bitcoin and ensured the privacy of transactions. However, the seizure of this domain name by criminals indicates that it has been transformed into a dangerous tool, exploiting its former reputation. Users are advised to be cautious of such suspicious domain names and take measures to protect their personal information.
