A phishing exposure check detects whether a wallet interacted with drainer contracts or addresses known for phishing; Plastron's free preview flags phishing-related exposure across seven EVM chains with no signup, and a free account unlocks the full result.
Phishing Exposure Check
Phishing interactions leave permanent marks on your wallet history. Every regulated exchange sees them when you deposit.
Cryptocurrency phishing attacks trick users into approving malicious smart contract interactions that drain wallets or create persistent access permissions. The most common vectors include fake token approval transactions (where the user thinks they are approving a legitimate swap but actually grants control to a phishing contract), NFT mint site impersonations, and impersonated wallet interface clones that submit fraudulent transactions. After a phishing attack — whether you were victimized or narrowly escaped — your wallet history carries a record of the interaction with the phishing address. This record is visible to exchange compliance systems. Beyond direct phishing victims, users who traded tokens distributed by phishing operations, received tokens from addresses that conducted phishing attacks, or interacted with contracts that are classified as phishing infrastructure in threat databases all carry phishing exposure. The CryptoScamDB database, which Plastron integrates, contains over 2,400 phishing-related addresses on Ethereum alone, and the Forta threat intelligence dataset adds hundreds more exploit and phishing-linked addresses. A wallet that has interacted with any of these is flagged by exchanges that run compliance analytics. Plastron's phishing detection identifies these interactions and categorizes them by severity so you understand the compliance implications before depositing to a regulated exchange.

Phishing Address Screening
Plastron screens your transaction history against CryptoScamDB and Forta phishing address databases, flagging any interactions with known phishing contracts, fraudulent token approval targets, and impersonation scheme wallets. Each flagged interaction is shown with the address, the phishing classification, and the transaction that created the relationship.
Token Approval Risk Analysis
Phishing attacks frequently operate through token approval transactions — you approve a contract to spend your tokens, and the phishing contract drains your wallet. We identify interactions with contracts that have been flagged as phishing approval targets and include them in your risk report. Revoked approvals reduce but do not eliminate the compliance flag because the transaction record remains on-chain.
Victim Context in Risk Report
Plastron distinguishes between being a phishing victim and being a phishing operator in how we present exposure. If your wallet received phishing-distributed tokens or had a malicious contract interaction, we note the victim context in the risk report. This context helps you explain the interaction to an exchange compliance team if your deposit is held for review.
