# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ethereum-networkconnection.pages.dev ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 06:55:18 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ethereum-networkconnection.pages.dev/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: Ethereum ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 13/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Kaspersky, Lionic, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc. Nameservers: ["ara.ns.cloudflare.com", "scott.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Suspected phishing site | Cloudflare HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-05-15 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 4b90224b56617056e1ecee2f379e7e6133678bf7d852a7ea142ab9ad923ec541 ## 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 23:22:03 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-21 08:34:59 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-13 06:00:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01995ab7-5d64-710d-9352-4ca6c7787198/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ethereum-networkconnection.pages.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ethereum-networkconnection.pages.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ethereum-networkconnection.pages.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ethereum-networkconnection.pages.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ethereum-networkconnection.pages.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:32:17 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-networkconnection.pages.dev as a high-risk phishing domain targeting Ethereum users. Registered on February 21, 2026, this domain was designed to impersonate the Ethereum brand, aiming to deceive users into revealing sensitive information or compromising their digital assets. The classification as brand impersonation underscores the intent to exploit Ethereum's reputation for malicious gain. Technical analysis reveals that the domain resolved to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and was registered via Cloudflare, Inc., a common registrar that can sometimes be abused by threat actors for anonymity and protection. The domain was flagged by 13 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appeared on four separate security blocklists, signaling widespread recognition of its malicious nature. The use of the .pages.dev subdomain structure suggests attempts to blend with legitimate web services, increasing its deceptive potential. Currently, the domain is offline, having been taken down likely due to security interventions. PhishDestroy advises users to remain cautious of similar domain patterns and always verify URLs before engaging with cryptocurrency platforms. Continuous monitoring of emerging phishing sites targeting Ethereum is essential to maintain user security and prevent exposure to scams resembling ethereum-networkconnection.pages.dev. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 4b90224b56617056e1ecee2f379e7e6133678bf7d852a7ea142ab9ad923ec541 ## 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-networkconnection.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ethereum-networkconnection.pages.dev 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.
