# PhishDestroy threat dossier — seasons5-etherfi.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-21 03:34:24 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/seasons5-etherfi.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 86/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 15/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Netcraft, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot URLQuery: 3 detections AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: ["adam.ns.cloudflare.com", "danica.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-15 Expires: 2027-06-14 Page title: Etherfi ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-12 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: b04d43afea0a9612e1f53fb3c36e453a5c639f4274d2d5a6e9c26f34f1c49200 ## 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: 2026-06-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-15 10:30:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 17:24:38 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-21 04:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 00:48:36 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ecaef-cbc1-75bb-93b4-df3424dbc464/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/9d4a9390-8a93-4df3-84aa-70c586b2ed3d Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/seasons5-etherfi.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.seasons5-etherfi.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=seasons5-etherfi.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/seasons5-etherfi.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/seasons5-etherfi.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:37:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain seasons5-etherfi.xyz has been identified as a crypto drainer, a specific type of phishing attack designed to steal cryptocurrency wallets by impersonating the legitimate Etherfi brand. This domain is currently offline, but its past activity poses significant risks to users who may have encountered it. The site was created on June 15, 2026, and registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a registrar sometimes abused by malicious actors. Further investigation reveals that seasons5-etherfi.xyz was flagged by 15 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating broad security consensus on its malicious nature. It resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and uses an SSL certificate from Google Trust Services (WE1), which can lend a false sense of legitimacy. The domain appears on 3 security blocklists and was found in 2 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX. The page title was "Etherfi," directly mimicking the brand to deceive visitors. As the domain is now offline, the immediate risk is reduced, but users should remain vigilant. Anyone who visited seasons5-etherfi.xyz or entered credentials should consider their accounts compromised and take steps to secure them, such as changing passwords and enabling two-factor authentication. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding any unsolicited links and verifying URLs directly through official sources. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-FABC94 Favicon MD5: 0a615f51bf13e735f43433f6e00c2c51 TLS cert SHA-256: b04d43afea0a9612e1f53fb3c36e453a5c639f4274d2d5a6e9c26f34f1c49200 ## 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/seasons5-etherfi.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=seasons5-etherfi.xyz 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.
