Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, ethereum-2.org, poses a high-risk threat as a crypto drainer designed to steal cryptocurrency from unsuspecting users. The site mimics legitimate Ethereum projects by displaying the page title 'Ethereum I — Fair Launch, No Premine,' a common narrative used to lure victims into connecting their digital wallets. Once connected, the site executes malicious scripts that drain funds without authorization, targeting Ethereum and other blockchain assets. The threat is particularly insidious because it exploits trust in decentralized projects and lacks obvious visual red flags, making it difficult for users to identify the scam without technical analysis. Analysis indicates that ethereum-2.org was registered through NAMECHEAP INC on May 23, 2026, an unusual creation date that suggests domain spoofing or backdating to evade detection. The domain currently resolves to the IP address 216.198.79.1, and only 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged it as malicious. This low detection rate highlights the domain's ability to operate under the radar, increasing its potential to deceive users. The infrastructure and registration details further corroborate the fraudulent nature of the site, as legitimate projects typically avoid such irregularities. Users who have visited ethereum-2.org or interacted with its content should take immediate action to mitigate risks. First, disconnect any wallets connected to the site and revoke all associated smart contract approvals using a blockchain explorer or wallet management tool. Next, scan the device used to access the domain for malware, as crypto drainers may deploy additional payloads. Monitor all linked wallet addresses for unauthorized transactions and consider transferring funds to a new wallet if suspicious activity is detected. Finally, report the domain to relevant security platforms and cryptocurrency communities to prevent further victimization. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-7882B3 Favicon MD5: 27038b9e44d9c3c4699ec9c3b09ccee2 TLS cert SHA-256: c93bcf1e627ff4b0d91b2a2b413195f1d0e4588e911f0941342f666da2dbad0c ## 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/ethereum-2.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ethereum-2.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
