Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
The domain reward-ethena.finance was registered on December 30, 2025 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and is currently reported as offline. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3, which belongs to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. and is geolocated in the United States. The authoritative nameservers are laura.ns.cloudflare.com and sullivan.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming that the domain leveraged Cloudflare’s DNS service. No SSL certificate was observed for the site, indicating that traffic was served without transport‑layer encryption.
The page title returned from the host was "Overview | Ethena," which aligns with the stated scam type of a crypto scam. Threat intelligence indicates the site employed a Wallet Connect abuse kit, a known method for draining cryptocurrency wallets. The domain appears on five public blocklists—PhishDestroy, ScamSniffer, Polkadot, Enkrypt, and Codeesura—demonstrating that multiple mitigation services have taken action. VirusTotal analysis recorded 13 detections out of 93 scanned security vendors, reinforcing the malicious classification.
AlienVault OTX listed the domain in a single threat‑intel pulse, further corroborating its involvement in illicit activity. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100, reflecting a complete lack of reputation. While the offline status precludes immediate interaction, defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeters, update endpoint protection signatures with the observed detection count, and monitor for any re‑registration attempts. Continuous observation of the associated IP range and Cloudflare DNS entries is advised, as the infrastructure could be repurposed for future crypto‑drainer campaigns.

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
This timeline displays historical security and status checkpoints observed by the PhishDestroy automated monitoring network. It records domain lifecycle updates, scanner changes, and threat telemetry over time.
15 recorded events. These records describe collected evidence, outgoing notifications and publication; they do not confirm a complete investigation or a takedown.

Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
Your crypto exchange — notify its fraud team immediately; it may be able to preserve records or restrict funds held on its platform
Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do crypto scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
