# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ethereum-vaults.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-06 00:02:23 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ethereum-vaults.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Ethereum ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, LevelBlue Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 216.252.233.13 (NL, Amsterdam) ASN: AS965 Webhosting Holdings LLC Hosting org: THC Servers Global, LLC Registrar: easyDNS Technologies, Inc. Nameservers: ns1.thcservers.com, ns2.thcservers.com, ns3.thcservers.com, ns4.thcservers.com Registered: 2026-03-23 Page title: Account Suspended HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-06-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: be4af97c15b223363224c64497a3606c8ca796f40f2726afe2be1234cd337587 ## 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: 2026-03-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-20 19:44:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-20 16:45:16 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-06 00:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:36:27 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dabc6-af9b-757b-9cc1-d167c8ddf202/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/aea6b35d-92c0-411b-bebd-1de12cef53ff Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ethereum-vaults.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ethereum-vaults.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ethereum-vaults.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ethereum-vaults.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ethereum-vaults.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-20 19:44:54 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-vaults.com as an active crypto-drainer posing as a legitimate Ethereum vault service. This elevated-risk domain employs deceptive tactics to trick users into connecting cryptocurrency wallets and draining funds under the guise of 'secure storage.' The site’s operation aligns with known seed e36d91, a marker associated with similar fraudulent campaigns targeting blockchain assets. This domain was flagged by VirusTotal with 2 out of 95 security vendors detecting it, indicating low but meaningful detection. It was registered through easyDNS Technologies, Inc., resolves to IP address 216.252.233.13, and holds a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate for added legitimacy. The domain was created on March 23, 2026—an unusually recent date that suggests a hastily deployed operation. These factors combined with low trust scores and minimal presence in blocklists point to a newly launched, opportunistic threat. To mitigate exposure, users should avoid visiting ethereum-vaults.com entirely and never connect wallets or input seed phrases. If you’ve interacted with this site, disconnect your wallet immediately and revoke any unauthorized permissions via your wallet’s interface. Report the domain to your browser’s safe browsing tools and share intelligence with community platforms like PhishDestroy to help protect others. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260420-A64CE5 Favicon MD5: 0f98b704c93538fcb68377c679051b5a TLS cert SHA-256: be4af97c15b223363224c64497a3606c8ca796f40f2726afe2be1234cd337587 ## 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-vaults.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ethereum-vaults.com 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.
