# stake4001.com — SUSPICIOUS

> stake4001.com is a live crypto-draining domain impersonating crypto staking services. Resolves to 188.114.97.3 and remains undetected on VirusTotal (0/95).

## Summary
PhishDestroy identifies stake4001.com as an active crypto_drainer domain under investigation for illicit fund extraction from unsuspecting cryptocurrency users. This domain poses a direct financial threat by masquerading as a legitimate staking platform, tricking victims into connecting wallets and approving malicious transactions. The immediate risk is categorized as active but under formal review, indicating potential escalation to high severity pending additional forensic analysis.

This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with the following confirmed indicators: domain creation date of March 27, 2026; DNS resolution to IP address 188.114.97.3; SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt; registration through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED; and zero detections (0/95) across VirusTotal scans at the time of analysis. No current presence on public blocklists or threat intelligence feeds was observed, and no reputation scores were available due to the domain’s recent registration. The lack of detection suggests this infrastructure may be newly deployed or intentionally evasive.

To mitigate exposure, cryptocurrency users should immediately block stake4001.com at the network and endpoint levels. Avoid visiting the domain or interacting with any associated links, especially those promoting staking services or wallet connections. Enable transaction simulation tools where available and verify all crypto-related domains through official project websites or trusted sources. Report any wallet interactions with this domain to your security team and block the associated IP (188.114.97.3) in firewall rules. Remain vigilant for similar domains leveraging recent naming conventions to impersonate legitimate staking interfaces.
