# PhishDestroy threat dossier — crypto-eth.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-20 06:12:52 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/crypto-eth.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: phishing_login Targeted brand: MetaMask ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/92 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.6.195 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: July Name Limited Nameservers: leia.ns.cloudflare.com, melnicoff.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-01 Page title: BYDFi HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: b9669bc6642c2bac1f0fb0e8c0ae5854de3680b3fb97d91b34394bc4dda8ca0a ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-14 18:35:48 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-14 15:36:54 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-20 02:14:46 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-15 01:45:37 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e271f-ba87-70be-9406-a6df36d4e362/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/28550cb2-b5b9-4d8b-ae61-216e501b1bbd Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/crypto-eth.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.crypto-eth.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=crypto-eth.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/crypto-eth.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/crypto-eth.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-14 18:36:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies crypto-eth.org as an active crypto drainer phishing domain designed to trick users into connecting their Ethereum wallets and draining funds. This site poses a direct financial risk to cryptocurrency holders who interact with it. The threat is not just generic phishing—it is specifically engineered to steal crypto assets by impersonating legitimate Ethereum wallet services. PhishDestroy flagged this domain at elevated risk based on multiple indicators. The domain was registered on May 1, 2026, through July Name Limited and is secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. The domain resolves to IP 104.21.6.195 and has been marked by 1/95 VirusTotal security vendors as malicious. Notably, it is blocked by MetaMask, a leading wallet extension, which serves as an additional confirmation of its malicious intent. These technical markers—combined with the domain’s recent creation and limited but critical detection rate—paint a clear picture of a fast-evolving threat aimed at unsuspecting users. Anyone who visited crypto-eth.org is strongly advised to immediately disconnect any connected wallets and revoke any permissions granted. Do not input seed phrases, wallet passwords, or private keys on any page linked to this domain. Use a legitimate wallet app or official website to verify any claims related to Ethereum or cryptocurrency transactions. Consider using hardware wallets and enabling transaction simulation features to prevent unauthorized fund transfers. Report any suspicious transactions to your wallet provider and local cybercrime authorities immediately. Stay vigilant—crypto drainers like this are known to spread rapidly across social media and forums. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260514-94480A Favicon MD5: cef36df72dc5af6415f3106979863780 TLS cert SHA-256: b9669bc6642c2bac1f0fb0e8c0ae5854de3680b3fb97d91b34394bc4dda8ca0a ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/crypto-eth.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=crypto-eth.org Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
