# PhishDestroy threat dossier — bounty-shib.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-02 18:11:22 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/bounty-shib.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 90/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cloned_site Targeted brand: shiba_inu ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/92 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Bfore.Ai PreCrime, Fortinet Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: khalid.ns.cloudflare.com, mira.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-03-21 Page title: Shib.io | Home of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) Ecosystem. ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-06-19 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c26933054ceb6f399bceda65369060c62ece790d873f5955b84404098f3ffa29 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-03-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-09 00:11:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-09 00:11:13 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 16:20:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:31:26 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e096a-77d1-773e-bd2a-1309e973d5a7/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bounty-shib.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bounty-shib.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bounty-shib.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bounty-shib.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bounty-shib.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-09 00:12:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies bounty-shib.com as an elevated-risk crypto drainer domain actively hosting phishing content since its March 21, 2026 creation. This domain resolves to IP 188.114.96.3 with a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate common to short-lived malicious infrastructure. VirusTotal shows only 2 out of 95 security vendors currently flagging the domain, underscoring the need for proactive user verification. The registrar NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED has not been associated with proactive domain takedowns, increasing exposure for visitors. With no presence on major blocklists at detection time, bounty-shib.com represents a stealth threat to cryptocurrency users seeking yield opportunities. This deceptive platform specifically targets users interested in Shiba Inu ecosystem tokens, luring victims with promises of high APY or exclusive NFT drops. The use of a valid CA-signed certificate (Let’s Encrypt) suggests operators are leveraging trust signaling to bypass browser warnings. The IP 188.114.96.3 falls within Cloudflare’s infrastructure range, a common tactic among threat actors to obfuscate origin and resist IP-based filtering. Domain age of less than one month at discovery implies rapid deployment for short-term campaigns, minimizing exposure time but maximizing catch rates during promotional pushes on social media or Telegram. Mitigation begins with user skepticism toward unsolicited links promising high crypto returns. Verify the domain’s authenticity through PhishDestroy before any wallet connection or token approval. If interaction has occurred, immediately revoke suspicious token approvals and scan connected wallets using tools like Revoke.cash or Rabby Wallet’s built-in safeguards. Organizations should block bounty-shib.com and its hosting IP at DNS and firewall levels. Report detected activity to PhishDestroy for correlation and takedown coordination. Always cross-check project websites via official social channels rather than relying on search engine results. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 996b741d4a748728a21de973f1b667f5 TLS cert SHA-256: c26933054ceb6f399bceda65369060c62ece790d873f5955b84404098f3ffa29 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (operator takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/bounty-shib.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bounty-shib.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
