# PhishDestroy threat dossier — rahul.transactionshield.info ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-26 16:28:49 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/rahul.transactionshield.info/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 92/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: TrustWallet ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.14.198 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB Nameservers: ["nora.ns.cloudflare.com", "uriah.ns.cloudflare.com"] Page title: Transfer Trust Wallet ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-23 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 279596a0d36aea75e2ef402f4e4b1af48967125e47a6e81c726920e8a2f7eec0 ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-06-24 17:17:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-26 16:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-24 18:19:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efa34-2673-7375-a5c3-7d731fef6ea6/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/rahul.transactionshield.info crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.rahul.transactionshield.info Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=rahul.transactionshield.info AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/rahul.transactionshield.info URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/rahul.transactionshield.info/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:18:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, rahul.transactionshield.info, is identified as a credential harvesting phishing infrastructure designed to impersonate financial service portals and extract sensitive user credentials. Analysis indicates the domain is currently offline, though prior activity suggests it was actively used in targeted phishing campaigns aimed at users of banking and payment platforms. The threat type is classified as generic_phishing with an elevated risk level due to its operational intent and technical deployment characteristics. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, and resolves to the IP address 172.67.160.78. Security telemetry shows the domain was flagged by 5 of 95 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate detection coverage across industry security tools. The domain appears on one security blocklist, suggesting limited but confirmed malicious classification. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a common tactic used to lend legitimacy to phishing sites by leveraging trusted certificate authorities. No historical DNS or WHOIS anomalies were observed beyond standard hosting patterns, though the domain’s rapid takedown aligns with typical phishing lifecycle behavior. Current status confirms the domain has been taken offline, reducing immediate exposure risk. However, the infrastructure may resurface under a different domain or IP configuration. Organizations and users are advised to monitor for similar naming conventions, such as transaction-themed subdomains paired with generic hosting providers. Network-level protections should include blocking the IP 172.67.160.78 and implementing real-time phishing detection for domains registered via HOSTINGER operations, UAB. Security teams should also review logs for connections to this IP or domain to identify potential prior compromises. Proactive measures, including user education on credential harvesting tactics and multi-factor authentication enforcement, are recommended to mitigate future risks associated with this threat actor. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 279596a0d36aea75e2ef402f4e4b1af48967125e47a6e81c726920e8a2f7eec0 ## 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/rahul.transactionshield.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rahul.transactionshield.info 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.
