## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is
waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-07 05:56:02 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-04-23 04:05:12 UTC
Current status:    ACTIVE / observable

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 01:00:19 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies shapes.ventures as a low-risk generic phishing domain based on multiple threat intelligence sources. The domain’s page title, "Shapes — Empowering the brave," was likely used as a lure to entice victims. Classified under generic phishing, the site did not appear to target specific brands but aimed to harvest sensitive user data through deceptive means.

Technical indicators reveal shapes.ventures was registered on February 21, 2026, via Tucows Domains Inc., resolving to IP address 188.114.97.3. The domain appeared on three security blocklists and was flagged by 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating limited but noteworthy suspicion. Its infrastructure did not display advanced evasion techniques, supporting the low-risk rating.

Currently, shapes.ventures is offline, which mitigates immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends users remain cautious of any communications referencing this domain and verify credentials if they suspect exposure. The domain’s removal from active hosting signals a positive response from network defenders and registrars following detection.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260107-58228E
Favicon SHA-256:       06bf9c1a11a086c5b4cf448b4ebe1e7c803940fdf02ce90100b54c07ecc42f84

## 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.
