Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] etherboost.net generic phishing campaign detected Analysis of etherboost.net, created on August 21, 2025 and hosted on the IP address 104.21.0.241, shows that the domain is actively used in a generic phishing operation. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and uses Cloudflare name servers anton.ns.cloudflare.com and reza.ns.cloudflare.com. Independent monitoring services have listed the domain on three security blocklists, and it is currently blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. VirusTotal scans indicate that three of ninety‑five security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious, confirming that detection engines recognize it as a threat. The domain remains active as of the report date, July 20, 2026, suggesting ongoing malicious activity. No further technical details such as SSL configuration, HTTP response codes, or page content have been disclosed, leaving the exact phishing vector and targeted brand undefined. Defenders should therefore treat any traffic to etherboost.net as hostile. Recommended actions include adding the domain to internal deny lists, updating web‑filter and DNS‑sinkhole rules to block resolution of 104.21.0.241, and monitoring network logs for any connections to the listed nameservers. Continuous re‑evaluation of threat intelligence feeds is advised to capture any changes in detection counts or blocklist status. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: d37c04efb5813109c0286c0e0dc23bc4 TLS cert SHA-256: 5f044c301454bcdb0e69b6d34a9143d613f4bf32bbc9fbb7b58cebf517811c9d ## 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/etherboost.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=etherboost.net 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.
