tornadocash[.]onl

On 23 July 2026, threat analysts evaluated the domain tornadocash.onl, which is presently taken offline but previously responded with HTTP 200 and presented the generic directory index page titled “Index of /”. The domain was created on 21 February 2026 and registered through Porkbun LLC. Its authoritative name servers are maceio.ns.porkbun.com, curitiba.ns.porkbun.com, and salvador.ns.porkbun.com. Mail exchange records point to mx1.spacemail.com and an incomplete mx2.spac entry, indicating a possible reliance on external mail services. The domain resolves to IP 209.74.68.17, an address owned by Namecheap, Inc. (AS22612) and geolocated to Singapore.

SSL analysis shows a certificate labeled “R12”, which is atypical for legitimate sites and may represent a self‑signed or outdated certificate. Reputation scoring is extremely poor: Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 / 100, and VirusTotal records show 14 of 93 scanning engines flagging the host. The domain is listed on two public security blocklists, has been blocked by PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer, and appears in one AlienVault OTX pulse. These artefacts collectively indicate the site was used for generic phishing operations.

Because the site is no longer active, immediate traffic to the host will be blocked, yet defenders should continue to monitor the associated IP range and name‑server infrastructure for potential re‑use. Recommended actions include adding tornadocash.onl and 209.74.68.17 to deny lists, enforcing DNS sink‑holing for the identified name servers, and reviewing any mail flow that references the listed MX hosts. Continuous re‑scanning with multi‑engine services is advised to capture any future changes to the domain’s threat posture.
