No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-11 10:17:54 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:08:51 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d7b66-ae7b-76bc-9cc9-94b26a0eae95/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/faq-exxchange-shadow-io.pages.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.faq-exxchange-shadow-io.pages.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=faq-exxchange-shadow-io.pages.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/faq-exxchange-shadow-io.pages.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/faq-exxchange-shadow-io.pages.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-11 10:18:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has flagged faq-exxchange-shadow-io.pages.dev as a malicious domain actively impersonating Shadow Exchange, a cryptocurrency platform. The site presents a convincing replica of the legitimate Shadow Exchange interface, complete with a fraudulent login portal designed to harvest user credentials and facilitate crypto drainer activity. Visitors are tricked into entering their sensitive account details, which are then transmitted to attacker-controlled servers, potentially resulting in unauthorized access to funds and personal data. The page title, 'Shadow ® Exchange — Guide, Login & Troubleshooting,' further reinforces the deception by mimicking official branding. This domain was flagged after analysis revealed it remains active despite having 0 detections on VirusTotal as of the latest scan. The site operates under Cloudflare’s infrastructure, leveraging a Google Trust Services SSL certificate to appear legitimate. Resolving to IP 188.114.97.3, the domain was registered through Cloudflare, Inc., a common tactic among threat actors seeking to obscure their origins. The absence of detections highlights the evolving nature of these attacks, which often bypass traditional security measures in their early stages. If you’ve visited this site, immediately cease interaction and avoid entering any credentials or cryptocurrency wallet details. Disconnect from the network and scan your device for malware or unauthorized access. Report the incident to Shadow Exchange’s official support channels and consider revoking any shared credentials or connected wallet permissions. Monitor your accounts closely for suspicious activity and notify your bank or crypto exchange providers if unauthorized transactions are detected. Always verify URLs and use bookmarked links or official apps for accessing financial platforms. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 0ce2bc188ab907e1002be75f6cb1bca4310f158b718283fbbd20c9188ec05ad0 ## 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 (volunteer 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/faq-exxchange-shadow-io.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=faq-exxchange-shadow-io.pages.dev 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
