# PhishDestroy threat dossier — exodus-eth.exchange ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 08:20:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/exodus-eth.exchange/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 96/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange Targeted brand: Exodus ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 63.176.8.218 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Hosting org: AWS EC2 (eu-central-1) Registrar: Name.com, Inc. Nameservers: ["dns1.p05.nsone.net", "dns2.p05.nsone.net", "dns3.p05.nsone.net", "dns4.p05.nsone.net"] Registered: 2026-04-18 Expires: 2027-03-21 Page title: Exodus | Private Settlement Node HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-06-19 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 7141032a7151b8896acb5828807dc578732aae9db778a11b0f5359cce55d9a09 ## 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: 2026-04-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-18 23:39:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-18 20:40:36 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-22 09:40:09 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 00:26:00 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019da250-ede0-7663-8183-548513186c97/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/d6a761bb-df16-452e-a239-d167878647d8 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/exodus-eth.exchange crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.exodus-eth.exchange Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=exodus-eth.exchange AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/exodus-eth.exchange URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/exodus-eth.exchange/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-18 23:39:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has flagged exodus-eth.exchange as a brand impersonation site actively targeting users of the Exodus cryptocurrency wallet. This domain closely mimics the official Exodus branding and interface, likely designed to deceive visitors into entering their wallet credentials or transferring cryptocurrency to attacker-controlled addresses. The threat is particularly dangerous because it leverages the trust associated with the Exodus brand to trick users into compromising their assets. This domain was flagged after analysis revealed multiple red flags: it was created on March 21, 2026, registered through Name.com, Inc., and currently resolves to IP address 63.176.8.218. Notably, VirusTotal currently shows 0 out of 95 detections, indicating that mainstream security tools have not yet flagged this domain as malicious. This low detection rate highlights the importance of proactive threat intelligence and user vigilance. If you have visited exodus-eth.exchange, immediately cease all interactions with the site and disconnect from any wallets or accounts you may have accessed from it. Do not enter any credentials or private keys. If you entered sensitive information, revoke any wallet access or permissions granted to the site and transfer your funds to a new, secure wallet. Report the domain to Exodus support and consider running a malware scan on your device. Always verify URLs and use official sources for cryptocurrency services to avoid similar threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260418-813D6C TLS cert SHA-256: 7141032a7151b8896acb5828807dc578732aae9db778a11b0f5359cce55d9a09 ## 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/exodus-eth.exchange/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=exodus-eth.exchange 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.
