Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ethscan.lol as an active cryptocurrency drainer domain engaging in brand impersonation targeting Etherscan users. This domain leverages typo-squatting and the trusted identity of Etherscan.io to deceive visitors into connecting malicious wallet drainer scripts. The infrastructure supports automated token approval scraping and transaction signing, a hallmark of modern crypto-draining operations designed to siphon digital assets within moments of user interaction. Technical analysis reveals ethscan.lol resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3, registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on May 17, 2026. The domain employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to enhance authenticity and is currently undetected by VirusTotal with a clean 0/95 detection score. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not yet listed the domain, and public blocklist counts remain zero—indicating newly deployed and unmitigated threat infrastructure. The unusually recent creation date (2026) suggests a rushed operational timeline, a tactic commonly used to exploit trust before detection systems are updated. This domain remains active and under investigation with a persistent risk profile. PhishDestroy urges immediate network-level and browser-based blocking to prevent user exposure. Users should update their ad-blockers, DNS filters, and browser blocklists. If already interacted with, disconnect wallets immediately, revoke suspicious approvals via tools like revoke.cash, and monitor on-chain transactions for unauthorized transfers. Remaining risk is high due to lack of detection, open infrastructure, and ongoing impersonation intent. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 135ffd17e05436fcd54db9a5a623f93a TLS cert SHA-256: d16313652980dd904f2994ac424bc5ba319803171707aec12ceac51b311eda8b ## 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/ethscan.lol/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ethscan.lol 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.
