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: 2025-12-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-18 19:13:14 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-18 17:18:53 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 12:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-19 00:04:48 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019edbb7-c5d9-7558-8a97-1a15a6419da1/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/a95cf390-7493-4c14-9e3b-525553b58dfa Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/stakedao.finance crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.stakedao.finance Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=stakedao.finance AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/stakedao.finance URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/stakedao.finance/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 15:31:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, stakedao.finance, poses a significant threat as a crypto_drainer. It is designed to impersonate StakeDAO and trick users into revealing their cryptocurrency wallet credentials or private keys, leading to potential theft of funds. Analysis indicates that stakedao.finance is a high-risk domain, with 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagging it as malicious. The domain was created on December 02, 2025, and is registered through Dynadot Inc. It resolves to the IP address 54.215.31.113, which is located in the United States and is part of the Amazon.com, Inc. network (AS16509). The site uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which is a common choice for phishing sites due to its free and easy-to-obtain nature. The site is currently active and appears on one security blocklist, including being blocked by PhishDestroy. If an individual has visited stakedao.finance, it is crucial to take immediate action to secure their digital assets. First, change any passwords or credentials used on the site, especially those for cryptocurrency wallets. Monitor the wallet for any unauthorized transactions and consider enabling two-factor authentication if it is not already active. Additionally, report the incident to the relevant authorities and the legitimate StakeDAO platform to alert them of the potential compromise. It is also advisable to run a full system scan using a reputable antivirus solution to ensure that no malware was installed during the visit. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260618-62E0FC Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: f12958fc1711b923eb3ad732f7cdd7dc5b81e20b72693be69cb1b06aa4165eb8 ## 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/stakedao.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=stakedao.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.
