Score breakdown
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.
Analysis Summary
Website Preview
Automated page render — captured in a safe sandbox. What an ordinary visitor would see when loading the site.
Intelligence
The site copies the Etherscan name, title, and block-explorer copy verbatim while running on etherscan-cm.github.io. That domain registered today and already triggers 14 detections including BitDefender, CyRadar, Emsisoft, and Fortinet. The hosting IP shows 12 abuse reports and the page contains no email, phone, or address. External resources load from the real etherscan.io, confirming the impersonation pattern. These signals together point to a credential-harvesting or wallet-drainer operation rather than a legitimate explorer.

What to do
Crypto scam / wallet-drainer indicators
The page shows patterns common to crypto-investment scams, fake airdrops, and wallet drainers.
- Do not interact with etherscan-cm.github.io
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- Never paste your seed phrase anywhere
Legitimate wallets, exchanges and support staff will never ask for your 12/24-word recovery phrase. Typing it into any website — even one that looks real — gives attackers full access to your funds.
- If you already connected a wallet
Revoke token approvals immediately using revoke.cash or Etherscan's Token Approvals tool. Move remaining funds to a fresh wallet (new seed phrase). Assume the original wallet is compromised.
- OpenReport the wallet and URL
File a report at IC3 (FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center) or your country's cybercrime portal. Recovery is unlikely, but reports help law enforcement map the network.
Safer Alternatives
Trying to handle crypto? Use a safe option instead
Dealing with crypto? Use a regulated, well-established exchange rather than an unknown site — and never connect your wallet or enter a seed phrase on a page you can't verify.
Publicly-listed, regulated US exchange.
Long-established, regulated exchange.
Regulated US exchange & custodian.
Suggestions for safety only — not endorsements. Always verify the address bar before signing in or paying, even on well-known sites.
