# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ethereumclassicwallet.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 20:21:28 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ethereumclassicwallet.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 92/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Ethereum ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 86.106.143.205 (US, New York City) ASN: ASAS9009 M247 M247 Europe SRL, RO Hosting org: AS9009 M247 Europe SRL Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

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: 2026-05-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 19:17:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 17:18:52 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 22:17:18 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 03:04:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efaa1-fb3d-748a-a127-543724999742/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/5a72b250-20f4-43fb-998e-7b0c63c01588 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ethereumclassicwallet.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ethereumclassicwallet.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ethereumclassicwallet.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ethereumclassicwallet.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ethereumclassicwallet.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:13:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a brand impersonation threat targeting Ethereum users under the guise of providing wallet software downloads. Analysis indicates an elevated risk level due to its deceptive infrastructure and distribution of potentially malicious executables for Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through NameSilo, LLC on May 10, 2026, with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. It resolves to the IP address 86.106.143.205 and presents a page titled 'Download Ethereum Classic Wallet | Windows, Mac & Linux.' The domain appears on one security blocklist and is currently offline. VirusTotal detection shows 4 out of 95 security vendors flagging this domain as malicious, confirming its association with fraudulent activity. Mitigation steps for this type of threat include verifying wallet software sources exclusively through official Ethereum channels. Users should cross-reference download URLs with the legitimate Ethereum Foundation website and check for domain registration details that match known official domains. Organizations should implement domain monitoring for similar impersonation patterns, particularly those using 'wallet' or 'download' in combination with cryptocurrency brand names. Network-level protections should block connections to 86.106.143.205 and domains registered through NameSilo with recent creation dates exhibiting similar characteristics. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-9EDE75 Favicon MD5: 67636606723b41e0544d977dc7f0af94 ## 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/ethereumclassicwallet.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ethereumclassicwallet.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
