season5-etherfi.cyou is an impersonation phishing page posing as Etherfi, the liquid restaking protocol, and its page title reads simply "Etherfi". The "season5" in the domain name plays on the protocol's points and reward seasons, which makes Etherfi users chasing rewards the obvious target. PhishDestroy first flagged the domain on 2026-10-07. As of 2026-10-19 the domain is still live, but its DNS no longer serves the phishing content.
How the scam works
Pages like this copy the look of the real Etherfi app and promise a Season 5 reward, claim or eligibility check. The victim is told to connect a wallet, and the page then asks for a signature or token approval. That request hands the operator permission to move the victim's ETH, restaked assets or other tokens. Some variants ask for the recovery phrase outright under a "verification" pretext, which gives up the whole wallet.
Evidence
On 2026-10-11, 18 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain, including BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Emsisoft, G-Data, CRDF and alphaMountain.ai. urlscan.io rated the page malicious and detected the Etherfi brand on it. The domain also appears on the MetaMask, ScamSniffer and SEAL blocklists alongside PhishDestroy, and it is referenced in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses. That is broad agreement among wallet-focused and general security sources.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Spaceship, Inc. on 2026-10-06, and PhishDestroy caught it the next day. That one-day gap points to a throwaway domain built for a short campaign. Traffic runs through Cloudflare, Inc. (188.114.97.3, geolocated to Canada), which hides the real origin server. The free Let's Encrypt certificate gives the page a padlock, but that says nothing about whether the site is legitimate.
What to do
If you connected a wallet here, use a token-approval checker right away to revoke any allowances you granted, and move your remaining funds to a fresh wallet if you signed anything you did not understand. If you typed your recovery phrase into the page, treat the wallet as compromised and transfer your assets to a newly generated wallet immediately. Only reach Etherfi through its official channels, and be wary of any "season" claim link shared in replies or DMs. Defenders should block season5-etherfi.cyou and watch for lookalike domains that pair Etherfi branding with season or reward keywords.

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.
