# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ethena-fi.club ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-02 06:18:14 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ethena-fi.club/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 60/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/94 security vendors flagged this domain ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: kay.ns.cloudflare.com, lloyd.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-04-23 Page title: Overview | Ethena HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-07-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c34757cfe68ecb3e735232e1997507418cec47ef2324c043402a00258b29c302 ## 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: 2026-04-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-23 23:25:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-23 20:26:05 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-02 07:46:04 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-29 00:02:24 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dbc03-a6ab-7799-955c-d94ed59d6efa/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/63cb6d5a-4593-4d98-a081-316c4c593e80 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ethena-fi.club crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ethena-fi.club Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ethena-fi.club AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ethena-fi.club URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ethena-fi.club/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-23 23:26:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] ethena-fi.club has been confirmed as an active cryptocurrency impersonation scam site. The domain mimics the legitimate Ethena protocol to trick users into connecting wallets and signing malicious transactions. Threat analysis indicates a high-risk campaign aimed at siphoning digital assets under the guise of staking or liquidity provision. Users who interact with the portal risk irreversible wallet drain or credential harvesting, with funds potentially routed through mixers or centralized exchanges to obscure their origin. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with a risk level of under_investigation and a status of active. Intelligence shows 0/95 VirusTotal detections as of the latest scan, indicating it has evaded signature-based detection engines. The domain resolves to IP 188.114.96.3, which hosts multiple suspicious domains and shows no association with the legitimate Ethena infrastructure. It was registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com on April 23, 2026, a date that aligns with recent crypto scam campaigns targeting Ethena users. The site employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, but the certificate authority does not validate the authenticity of the entity behind the domain. As of this report, ethena-fi.club remains unlisted on major blocklists including Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, and OpenPhish, increasing the likelihood of user exposure. Mitigation for this threat requires immediate domain blocking and user education. Security teams and end users should block both the domain ethena-fi.club and its resolving IP 188.114.96.3 at the network and host levels. Browser-based defenses should be updated to include custom blocklists that include this domain using threat feeds or DNS sinkholing. Users should verify any Ethena-related URL by cross-referencing the official domain ethenas.fi and avoid clicking links from social media or unsolicited messages. In the event of interaction, users must revoke any connected wallet permissions via tools like revoke.cash and transfer remaining assets to cold storage. Reporting the domain to abuse channels at the registrar and hosting provider may aid in faster takedown. Given the use of a recently issued SSL certificate and low detection rates, behavioral analysis and reputation scoring tools should be prioritized to detect future iterations of this scam. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260423-417EF4 Favicon MD5: e54ba4d72688039cd58cec75547bbd1e TLS cert SHA-256: c34757cfe68ecb3e735232e1997507418cec47ef2324c043402a00258b29c302 ## 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/ethena-fi.club/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ethena-fi.club 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.
