ethfee[.]live

PhishDestroy identifies ethfee.live as an active crypto drainer posing as a legitimate Ethereum fee payment service. The domain leverages urgency around transaction fees to trick users into connecting wallets and signing malicious transactions, resulting in fund theft. This threat is classified as an active crypto drainer with high-risk potential due to its luring mechanism targeting cryptocurrency users.

This domain was flagged during routine threat analysis with the following indicators: created on January 03, 2026, hosted on IP 188.114.96.3, registered via NameSilo, LLC, and secured by a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. As of now, VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 scanners, and it does not appear on any major blocklists or threat intelligence feeds. The domain's youth and lack of detections suggest it may be newly operational or using evasion tactics, increasing the risk of undetected compromise.

To mitigate exposure to ethfee.live, users should avoid interacting with the site entirely—do not click links, open attachments, or enter credentials. If you suspect exposure, review wallet permissions in your wallet settings and revoke any connections to unknown or suspicious domains. Use hardware wallets or transaction simulation tools to verify payment requests before signing. Report the domain to your security vendor or platforms like VirusTotal for further analysis. Monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions and enable multi-factor authentication wherever possible.
