Evidence Summary
PhishDestroy identifies shapes.ventures as a confirmed crypto drainer phishing site, designed to steal cryptocurrency wallet credentials and drain funds. The domain, registered through Tucows Domains Inc., presents itself with the title 'Shapes — Empowering the brave' to lure victims into connecting their wallets. This threat is a brand impersonation of a generic crypto platform, leveraging social engineering to trick users into approving malicious transactions.
Technical indicators reveal a risk-elevated profile: VirusTotal shows 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, indicating low but present detection. The domain was created on February 21, 2026, and resolves to IP 188.114.97.3, hosted behind Cloudflare (Google Trust Services / WE1 SSL). It appears on three security blocklists, though Google Safe Browsing status is not explicitly listed, suggesting it may not yet be widely blocked. The registration through Tucows provides some anonymity, typical of malicious domains.
As of the latest check, shapes.ventures is offline, likely taken down due to reports or hosting provider action. However, the domain remains registered and could be reactivated or redirected. Users should avoid any interaction with this site, never connect wallets or enter credentials, and ensure their crypto assets are secured with hardware wallets and two-factor authentication. If any interaction occurred, revoke token approvals immediately and monitor for unauthorized transactions.
