Hosting org: AS43350 NForce Entertainment B.V. Registrar: Key-Systems GmbH Nameservers: ["nelci.ns.cloudflare.com", "nick.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2026-03-14 Page title: Ethereum Cormax 16X Official Trading App & Latest Ethereum 60 Cormax Version 6000 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-05-16 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 8bb4950b4b47b360723f174e1d8e2b91896e3e4a97323a1274105992e5335c3b ## 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: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-20 19:16:30 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-26 13:20:24 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-16 12:04:19 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bdc30-f252-700b-92d3-e962dde825f7/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ethereum-cormax.co crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ethereum-cormax.co Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ethereum-cormax.co AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ethereum-cormax.co URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ethereum-cormax.co/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 03:33:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ethereum-cormax.co as a high-risk crypto drainer actively targeting cryptocurrency users. The domain is involved in fraudulent activities designed to steal digital assets, posing significant financial risks to victims. Due to its ongoing operation, users should exercise extreme caution and avoid any engagement with this site. Investigations reveal that ethereum-cormax.co was registered recently on 2026-02-21 and resolves to IP address 212.92.105.101. The domain is registered through Key-Systems GmbH and has been flagged by 21 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors. It appears in six distinct security blocklists and has been cited in two AlienVault OTX threat pulses, underscoring its malicious infrastructure and active threat status. The page title promoting an “Ethereum Cormax 16X Official Trading App” is a common lure tactic in crypto scams. To mitigate risk, users should block this domain on network filters and avoid downloading or interacting with any content linked to ethereum-cormax.co. Security teams are advised to update threat intelligence feeds and educate users about the dangers of crypto drainers. Prompt reporting of suspicious or malicious cryptocurrency websites helps contain the threat and protect the wider community. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: d46223408e8475015e82cad33f614c86 TLS cert SHA-256: 8bb4950b4b47b360723f174e1d8e2b91896e3e4a97323a1274105992e5335c3b ## 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/ethereum-cormax.co/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ethereum-cormax.co 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.
