Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, ethereum1.org, was registered on June 26, 2026, through NAMECHEAP INC and remains active as of July 12, 2026. Analysis indicates it is impersonating Ethereum, a well-known cryptocurrency platform, with the explicit scam type classified as a crypto drainer. The page title, 'Ethereum I — Fair Launch, No Premine,' reinforces the impersonation attempt by mimicking legitimate Ethereum branding and messaging. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3, hosted on AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.), and employs Cloudflare nameservers (eugene.ns.cloudflare.com and meg.ns.cloudflare.com). The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), and the site utilizes technologies including Vercel, HSTS, Cloudflare Browser Insights, and HTTP/3. Security vendors have flagged this domain, with 11 out of 91 engines on VirusTotal detecting it as malicious. It appears on three security blocklists and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. The Gridinsoft trust score for this domain is 0/100, further corroborating its high-risk classification. Defenders should treat this domain as a confirmed crypto drainer threat targeting Ethereum users. Immediate blocking at the DNS or network level is recommended, along with monitoring for related indicators of compromise, such as wallet addresses or transaction patterns linked to this infrastructure. The exact content and functionality of the site remain unanalyzed, but the available data strongly supports its malicious intent. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 11/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-8BAFE8 Favicon MD5: 27038b9e44d9c3c4699ec9c3b09ccee2 TLS cert SHA-256: 34af3b921d03d4e38f9be9a17f3a7b57d1f804e09db425113cb049896e5893db ## 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/ethereum1.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ethereum1.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.
