Outgoing abuse reports are recorded; the latest stored availability evidence still shows the domain reachable.
Notification and current-status evidence

The recorded recipient is abuse@spaceship.com.
The latest stored availability evidence still shows the domain reachable; 13 days has elapsed since the first outgoing report.

This section records outgoing timestamps, listed recipients, case identifiers, and later availability. It does not by itself prove receipt, acknowledgement, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
proposals-ether.cyou is an impersonation phishing page that presents itself as Etherfi, the liquid restaking protocol, under a page title that simply reads "Etherfi". The "proposals" wording in the domain targets Etherfi holders who expect governance votes or protocol announcements. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-07. As of 2026-10-19 the domain was still live, but its content was no longer resolving through DNS.
How the scam works
Fake governance and proposal pages lure users with a vote, claim or reward tied to the real protocol. They then ask visitors to connect a wallet and approve what looks like a routine signature. In reality, those prompts usually grant token approvals or sign transfer permissions, which let the operator move the victim's ETH, restaked tokens or other assets. Because the page copies the Etherfi name and branding, the request feels like normal protocol interaction rather than a theft.
Evidence
On 2026-10-11, 19 of 92 VirusTotal engines classified the domain as malicious, including alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, ESET, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet and G-Data. urlscan.io returned a malicious verdict and identified Etherfi as the imitated brand. Wallet-focused blocklists also carry it, specifically MetaMask, ScamSniffer and SEAL, which means many wallet users get a warning before the page loads. Four AlienVault OTX threat pulses reference the domain, which shows it has been tracked across separate investigations.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Spaceship, Inc. on 2026-10-06, and PhishDestroy detected it the following day. That one-day gap is typical of throwaway domains that are set up and pushed to victims quickly. The site sits behind Cloudflare's network, so the address points to Canada and the actual origin server stays hidden. Its Let's Encrypt certificate gives it the padlock icon, but that only means the connection is encrypted and says nothing about who runs the site.
What to do
If you connected a wallet or signed anything on this page, immediately revoke token approvals and permissions with a trusted approval checker. Then move remaining assets, including restaked positions, to a new wallet whose seed phrase has never been exposed. If you typed a seed phrase or private key, treat that wallet as compromised and stop using it. Only follow Etherfi governance through the project's official channels. Defenders should block the domain at the DNS and proxy level, review logs for wallet-signing activity tied to it, and watch for lookalike "proposals" domains impersonating Etherfi.

ShortDot zone evidence
The linked repository preserves daily zone observations across seven ShortDot-operated TLDs, including registration volume and abuse-related indicators. This registry context is supporting background and is not an independent detection for the domain in this report.
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.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

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.
