Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, event-ethena.live, is identified as a generic phishing infrastructure designed to impersonate Ethena, a cryptocurrency platform. The site employs deceptive page elements, including an identical page title 'Ethena,' to mimic legitimate services. Analysis indicates the presence of credential harvesting mechanisms, likely targeting users' wallet keys and login details through fraudulent interfaces. No specific drainer kit signatures have been confirmed, but the domain exhibits characteristics consistent with cryptocurrency phishing operations. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on May 20, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, an entity frequently associated with high-risk registrations. It resolves to the IP address 216.230.86.1 and is flagged by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The domain appears on three security blocklists and is actively blocked by MetaMask, PhishDestroy, and SEAL. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites. Detected technologies include Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Vercel, HSTS, Google Cloud CDN, and Amazon S3, suggesting a distributed hosting and content delivery strategy to evade detection. As of the latest assessment, event-ethena.live has been taken offline, reducing immediate exposure risks. However, the domain's infrastructure remains registered, and similar phishing campaigns may re-emerge under different domains or IPs. Users who interacted with the site should assume credential compromise and take immediate action, including revoking access to linked wallets, changing passwords, and monitoring for unauthorized transactions. Organizations should update blocklists to include this domain and its associated IP to prevent future access attempts. The elevated risk level persists due to the domain's historical activity and the potential for re-deployment. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260529-C46396 Favicon MD5: b604a1c2a2e5cf0b810057c5536481d0 TLS cert SHA-256: 9e6356e78c0ccd313adbe7fda51cd46a89bfb18b0bd98d8593f494e46e70e466 ## 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/event-ethena.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=event-ethena.live 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.
