These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The domain etherfi-vote.xyz was registered only 3 days ago and mimics the legitimate EtherFi brand (ether.fi). Forcepoint ThreatSeeker and SOCRadar both classify it as phishing, which is the primary threat signal. The site loads external resources from ether.fi, a common tactic to borrow legitimacy while hosting a credential-harvesting or fund-draining interface on the attacker's domain. The blank page title and missing contact information are consistent with hastily-deployed phishing infrastructure. The valid SSL certificate (issued by Google Trust Services) is trivial to obtain and does not indicate legitimacy. No legitimate business would register a lookalike domain with a voting-themed subdomain three days ago.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page renders as a JavaScript single-page application with minimal visible text. No title, meta description, contact email, postal address, or social links are present. The page loads external font resources and appears to be a blank or loading state, consistent with a hastily-deployed phishing template.

Infrastructure

Hosted on IP 104.21.86.82 (Cloudflare) with clean abuse history. SSL certificate is valid and issued by Google Trust Services, expiring in 86 days. Valid SSL is standard for phishing sites and does not indicate legitimacy. The domain uses privacy-protected WHOIS registration through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED.

Domain History

Registered only 3 days ago. The extreme youth combined with a brand-mimicking name (etherfi-vote.xyz vs. legitimate ether.fi) is a hallmark of phishing infrastructure. Legitimate businesses do not launch lookalike domains with voting-themed subdomains overnight.

Web Reputation

Forcepoint ThreatSeeker and SOCRadar both flag the domain as phishing. SOCRadar and alphaMountain.ai mark it as suspicious. Fortinet flags it as spam. The domain is not indexed in global traffic rankings and has zero reputation score. Major browser blocklists are currently clean, likely because the domain is too new to have been widely reported.

Risk Factors
7
  • Registered only 3 days ago — typical of disposable phishing infrastructure.
  • Flagged as phishing by Forcepoint ThreatSeeker and SOCRadar, two independent security engines.
  • Domain name mimics legitimate EtherFi (ether.fi) with a voting-themed subdomain to appear official.
  • Loads external resources from ether.fi to borrow legitimacy while hosting attacker-controlled content.
  • No contact information, business registration, or legitimate operational details on the page.
  • Valid SSL certificate obtained trivially and does not indicate legitimacy.
  • Privacy-protected WHOIS registration hides operator identity.
Positive Signals
1
  • Hosting IP has clean abuse history with zero reports.
AI Recommendation
Do not visit this site or enter any credentials, wallet addresses, or payment information. If you intended to access EtherFi, go directly to ether.fi in your browser or use a verified bookmark. Report this phishing domain to your browser and to EtherFi's security team.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review flags etherfi-vote.xyz as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — etherfi-vote.xyz scored 1/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. etherfi-vote.xyz presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 86 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • etherfi-vote.xyz is 3 days old, registered on 6/12/2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

  • No. etherfi-vote.xyz is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • etherfi-vote.xyz resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 15, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around etherfi-vote.xyz have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
