# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ethxh.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-14 00:58:33 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ethxh.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 99/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 13/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Ermes, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.182.116 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: eName Technology Co.,Ltd. Nameservers: rajeev.ns.cloudflare.com, saanvi.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2025-10-25 Expires: 2026-10-25 Page title: ETH 2.0 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2025-10-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-10-28 18:33:48 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-08 06:36:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-08 05:36:29 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019a2c18-ad04-7569-8e44-71646f2f45a5/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ethxh.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ethxh.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ethxh.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ethxh.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ethxh.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:32:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ethxh.com as a high-risk phishing domain designed to deceive users interested in Ethereum 2.0. Despite being taken offline, this domain posed a significant threat by attempting to trick visitors into divulging sensitive information that could lead to financial loss or identity theft. This phishing site imitated legitimate ETH 2.0 content to lure victims. By masquerading as a trustworthy source, it aimed to exploit users’ trust and harvest credentials or private keys related to cryptocurrency holdings. The domain was flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering and appeared on multiple security blocklists, confirming its malicious intent. If you visited ethxh.com, it’s crucial to immediately review your accounts for unauthorized activity and change any passwords or keys that may have been compromised. Users should remain vigilant about verifying URLs and avoid interacting with suspicious links, especially those promising cryptocurrency-related rewards or upgrades. Reporting such domains to cybersecurity platforms helps protect the broader community from similar attacks. ## 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/ethxh.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ethxh.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
