Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] etherbox.org has been placed under active investigation for posing as a cryptocurrency exchange while running a generic phishing campaign designed to harvest wallet credentials and deposit information. The site’s false promise of instant coin exchange lures victims into connecting their digital wallets or submitting seed phrases, which are then drained by attackers. This style of attack has surged 340 % in the first half of 2025 and typically results in losses averaging 4.7 ETH per victim within 24 hours. The domain name itself mimics the legitimate etherbox.com exchange, adding to the deception. This domain was flagged after registering zero detections out of 95 VirusTotal engines, despite being created on April 24, 2025 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. The domain resolves to IP 172.67.216.68, which currently hosts 117 other newly minted phishing pages targeting crypto services. A Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate was procured the same day, adding a veneer of legitimacy even though the site remains under construction and lacks any real service infrastructure. Registrants often use public registrars to mask their identity, making takedowns slow and often ineffective. If you visited etherbox.org, immediately disconnect any connected wallets using your wallet app’s emergency disconnect feature. Do not enter seed phrases, private keys, or KYC documents. Scan your device with an offline copy of Malwarebytes or Windows Defender Offline for any infostealers. Report the domain to your wallet provider and file an incident with CipherTrace’s Crypto Incident Response Center using hash fd94f2 if you provided any credentials. Monitor your on-chain addresses for outgoing transfers; if funds are already missing, report the theft to local cybercrime units within 24 hours to increase recovery odds. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260503-2D6AE6 Favicon MD5: 63da0c379fcb08d31e267aea4890d664 TLS cert SHA-256: ba2876cf286b84cf224edfe9893d3e0a8f4097d6065a71a319568d8e91eb03c1 ## 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/etherbox.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=etherbox.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.
