Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies pooleth.top as a high-risk crypto drainer domain impersonating the Ethereum brand by promoting a fake pooled staking service called pETH Network. The domain was involved in malicious activity aimed at stealing cryptocurrency through Wallet Connect abuse, a known drainer kit method targeting users’ wallets. This threat exploits the trust in Ethereum’s ecosystem to trick victims into compromising their assets. Technically, pooleth.top resolved to the IP address 172.67.174.224 and was registered on September 8, 2025, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. The domain was flagged on four security blocklists and appeared in an AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse, indicating active monitoring by the cybersecurity community. VirusTotal detection results show 16 out of 95 security vendors flagged the domain, confirming its malicious nature. The infrastructure leveraged Wallet Connect abuse techniques to harvest credentials or drain users’ Ethereum wallets. Currently, pooleth.top has been taken offline, mitigating immediate risk. PhishDestroy recommends users avoid any interaction with this domain or related phishing campaigns. Ethereum holders should verify URLs carefully and use hardware wallets or trusted apps to minimize exposure. Security teams should continue monitoring similar domains and threat patterns linked to crypto drainers impersonating major brands, employing proactive blacklisting and user education to prevent compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 28534560056bed49b7f58e9301f89c2562049d75ea069e6288c863daaff4e00e TLS cert SHA-256: 231d9e556029c6c0637e4182a62907cd0b3d01aa1c5e28345b71dff7691df883 ## 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/pooleth.top/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pooleth.top 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.
