Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
PhishDestroy identifies s5-ether.finance as an active crypto drainer phishing domain designed to trick users into connecting their wallets and stealing cryptocurrency. This fraudulent site impersonates legitimate DeFi platforms by mimicking their branding and user interfaces, then exploits wallet connections to initiate unauthorized transactions. Users who approve wallet connections risk having their digital assets drained without their consent or additional approval prompts. This domain was flagged for investigation after being blocked by SEAL and MetaMask security systems. PhishDestroy's analysis reveals it was registered on April 02, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and currently shows zero detections out of 95 VirusTotal scans, indicating it has evaded mainstream detection systems despite clear malicious intent. Security researchers have already added this domain to two active blocklists. If you visited s5-ether.finance, immediately disconnect your wallet from the site and revoke any suspicious permissions through your wallet's connection management interface. Transfer any remaining assets to a new wallet address if you suspect compromise. Report the domain to PhishDestroy and your wallet provider, then clear your browser cache and cookies. Never reuse wallet passwords or seed phrases. For additional protection, consider using hardware wallets for large crypto holdings and enable transaction confirmation delays on your wallet settings.

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
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.
An estimated time describes an observation window. It does not prove a registrar action or the exact moment a site became unavailable.
