No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-09 01:30:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 06:44:57 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-29 08:07:45 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-13 00:25:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is ethenas.com a Fake Security Check Scam? Analysis of the domain ethenas.com indicates it is actively associated with phishing infrastructure. Registered on May 8, 2026, through Atom.com Domains LLC, the domain currently resolves to the IP address 52.20.84.62, hosted on AWS EC2 in the US (us-east-1). Nameservers are configured as ns1.atom.com and ns2.atom.com. The domain appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, ScamSniffer, and Enkrypt, and is referenced in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse. A Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100 further suggests high-risk classification. HTTP requests to ethenas.com return a 302 redirect status, and the page title 'Just a moment...' is consistent with temporary holding or cloaking behavior often used in phishing campaigns to evade detection or delay analysis. The domain's SSL certificate, issued by Let's Encrypt (R12), is valid but does not mitigate the risk, as phishing sites commonly use legitimate certificates to appear trustworthy. No vendor detections were reported at the time of scanning, though this absence does not confirm safety. The domain remains active as of July 12, 2026, and no specific brand impersonation or phishing kit has been confirmed in available data. Defenders should treat ethenas.com as hostile infrastructure and consider blocking or monitoring traffic to and from this domain. Further analysis of redirect targets and payload delivery is recommended to determine the full scope of the threat. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: e0f44be00452ea4ac1823ea2d33a8e0bfa0c9c0008a5d2900365d6c89b9499c3 ## 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 (operator 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/ethenas.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ethenas.com 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
