Is exodus-authorized.com legit or a scam?
A malicious Google clone registered just 7 days ago that uses an Exodus-themed domain to conduct phishing and credential theft.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary
Brand impersonation — not the real site
Domain was registered only 7 days ago — brand-new sites are higher-risk by default. This page is styled as a brand but is not the brand's real site. Go to the official site directly, and treat any download, login, or payment request here as unsafe.

Brand Impersonation
medium confidenceThe page mentions or styles itself as Google, but is hosted on a domain that is not an official Google property.
MT Intelligence
The domain was registered only 7 days ago and immediately began hosting a pixel-perfect clone of the Google search interface. This is a classic phishing tactic where a familiar brand is used to lower a user's guard before they are prompted for sensitive data. Gridinsoft and several major threat intelligence feeds have already flagged the site as malicious or a 'sinkholed' threat. The domain name itself references 'Exodus,' a popular crypto wallet, which suggests the site may be used in a broader campaign to target cryptocurrency users. There is no legitimate business registration or contact information associated with this operator.
