poolstaked[.]xyz

The domain poolstaked.xyz was identified as a brand impersonation threat specifically targeting Ethereum users. This domain is now offline, but during its active period it posed an elevated risk by mimicking a legitimate pooled staking service for Ethereum. The page title, "Pooled Staking for Ethereum - PoolStaked," was designed to deceive visitors into believing they were interacting with an official Ethereum staking platform.

According to available intelligence, poolstaked.xyz was flagged by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a consensus among multiple threat detection engines. The domain was registered through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited on October 3, 2025, and resolved to IP address 172.67.142.221. It also appeared on one security blocklist and had a trust score of 0 out of 100. Notably, the domain lacked an SSL certificate, which is a common red flag for phishing sites.

Given that the domain has been taken offline, the immediate risk is mitigated. However, users should remain vigilant against similar domains that may surface. PhishDestroy recommends verifying any URL claiming to be an Ethereum staking service by checking official channels. If you encounter this domain or similar ones, report them to security platforms and avoid entering any credentials or wallet information. Always double-check the URL and look for SSL certificates before interacting with financial services online.
