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: 2026-03-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-02 23:04:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-03-02 23:04:45 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-12 19:43:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-03 01:00:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019cb026-846f-77ff-bd02-22e1333b6252/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/proposal-ether.finance crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.proposal-ether.finance Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=proposal-ether.finance AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/proposal-ether.finance URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/proposal-ether.finance/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 06:03:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies proposal-ether.finance as a low-risk generic phishing domain that posed potential risks to users by attempting to deceive them, likely to collect sensitive information under false pretenses. While the immediate threat level is considered low, users should remain cautious as phishing sites can rapidly change tactics and infrastructure to evade detection. The domain proposal-ether.finance was registered recently on March 2, 2026, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. It resolved to the IP address 104.21.55.31 and appeared on three different security blocklists, indicating some recognition of its suspicious nature. VirusTotal flagged the domain in 2 out of 95 security vendor scans, corroborating a limited but notable detection. Currently, the domain is offline, which may indicate a takedown or suspension following its detection. Users are advised not to visit proposal-ether.finance or submit any personal, financial, or login details to the site. Exercise caution with unsolicited links or proposals referencing this domain. Employ robust security measures such as updated antivirus software, email filtering, and two-factor authentication to reduce exposure to phishing threats like this. For ongoing protection and detailed domain intelligence, users can consult trusted threat intelligence sources like PhishDestroy. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 19f6838463ab539d4bf18c4dd024a6116381333b14cdc69f8a562556a960cf47 ## 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/proposal-ether.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=proposal-ether.finance 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.
