## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      172.67.175.245 (US, San Francisco)
ASN:             ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US
Hosting org:     AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 03:26:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies shade.network as an active phishing domain presenting a medium-level threat. The site masquerades under the title "Shade Network — The Private Execution Layer," potentially targeting users with deceptive tactics to obtain sensitive information. This campaign utilizes generic phishing methods, indicating broad targeting rather than highly specialized attacks.

The domain shade.network was registered on June 18, 2025, through NameSilo, LLC and resolves to the IP address 172.67.175.245. It currently appears on three security blocklists and has been flagged by four security vendors on VirusTotal out of ninety-five total scans. These indicators suggest that the domain is part of a recognized malicious infrastructure leveraging relatively new registration details to avoid early detection.

The domain remains active and continues to pose a threat to users who may unknowingly engage with its content. PhishDestroy recommends that users avoid visiting shade.network and organizations implement domain and IP-level blocking measures. Continuous monitoring and updating of security solutions are advised to mitigate risks associated with this phishing operation.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       c769bc16f3666479e58f2835339c102e
TLS cert SHA-256:      6383e3e28d4a83bf5ff936f16f966a7a89f5c0450d6e95873710a2c2bd620bbc

## 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.
