TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 40/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      0/95 security vendors flagged this domain

## INFRASTRUCTURE

## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-21 10:29:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies ethixdeffi.com as an active crypto drainer posing as a legitimate Ethereum-related service. This fraudulent domain attempts to trick users into connecting their crypto wallets under the false pretense of offering enhanced Ethereum functionality or rewards. Unsuspecting visitors risk unauthorized token transfers or wallet draining if they interact with the site, as it is designed to exploit wallet connection prompts and deceptive UI elements. This domain should be treated as malicious until proven otherwise.

This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy after rigorous analysis revealed multiple red flags. VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 security engines, indicating it has not yet been widely recognized as malicious. The domain ethixdeffi.com was registered through Upperlink Limited on February 16, 2026, and resolves to IP address 91.204.209.33. It also holds a valid Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which threat actors often use to appear more legitimate. These indicators collectively suggest a recently deployed, potentially stealthy phishing operation targeting cryptocurrency users.

If you have already visited ethixdeffi.com, disconnect your wallet immediately and revoke any unauthorized permissions via your wallet’s official interface or tools like revoke.cash. Do not interact with any prompts or sign transactions unless you are certain of their legitimacy. Report this domain to your browser’s security team and consider using a dedicated anti-phishing extension. Always verify URLs manually and use official sources when engaging with Ethereum or crypto services.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260421-1B02A7
Favicon MD5:       7e47609b7434b1a66b53eb6566229c79

## 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.
