Is sol-duster.com legit or a scam?
A suspicious Solana 'dust cleaner' clone that mimics existing recovery tools to solicit wallet connections without any verifiable business registration or reputation.
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.

MT Intelligence
The site is a direct clone of another domain, solduster.com, which is a common tactic used to create phishing variants or drainer sites. While it claims to help users recover 'hidden' SOL from empty token accounts, it provides no contact information, no physical address, and no business registration details. Our intelligence stack identified that related domains in this specific ecosystem have already been flagged for phishing and fake giveaways. The requirement to connect a mobile wallet like Phantom or Solflare to an unverified, anonymous site presents a significant risk of asset theft. Furthermore, the site has no global traffic ranking and no independent reviews to verify its legitimacy.

Possible brand impersonation
This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.
- Treat sol-duster.com as unverified
Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.
- Go to the brand's real site directly
Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.
- Never download or sign in here
Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.
- OpenReport the impersonation to the brand
Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.
