# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ether.fi-defi-wallet-chain.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-24 11:15:26 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ether.fi-defi-wallet-chain.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 10/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, BitDefender, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Lionic, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.216.99 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Web Commerce Communications Limited Nameservers: ["adaline.ns.cloudflare.com", "lennox.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: fi-defi-wallet-chain.com | 521: Web server is down ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-05-23 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 927688ee41b1c84ab4cd6f33ac655193f61dfd9800882b17f9d43294ebf88cdb Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - fi-defi-wallet-chain.com ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:20:52 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-19 13:17:58 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-02 21:56:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01980999-d33d-75d8-a614-47d66f3ebc27/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ether.fi-defi-wallet-chain.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ether.fi-defi-wallet-chain.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ether.fi-defi-wallet-chain.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ether.fi-defi-wallet-chain.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ether.fi-defi-wallet-chain.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 02:04:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ether.fi-defi-wallet-chain.com as a high-risk crypto drainer domain designed to impersonate a decentralized finance (DeFi) wallet service, likely targeting users of the Ether.fi platform. This domain attempts to deceive victims into providing sensitive cryptocurrency wallet credentials, enabling unauthorized asset access and theft. Technical analysis reveals the domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through Web Commerce Communications Limited. It resolves to IP address 172.67.216.99 and has been flagged by 10 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors. Additionally, it appears on two security blocklists. The domain’s web server currently returns a "521: Web server is down" error, indicating the site is not operational. The domain’s infrastructure and registration details align with typical crypto phishing campaigns aimed at draining victim wallets. Currently, ether.fi-defi-wallet-chain.com is offline and no longer serving malicious content. Despite this, its prior activity and detection by multiple security tools mark it as a significant threat. Users and security teams should remain cautious of similar domains mimicking trusted DeFi wallet services. Continuous monitoring and blocking of this domain remain recommended to prevent potential resurgence or similar phishing attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 927688ee41b1c84ab4cd6f33ac655193f61dfd9800882b17f9d43294ebf88cdb ## 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/ether.fi-defi-wallet-chain.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ether.fi-defi-wallet-chain.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
