Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies the domain shapeshift-installer.com as a crypto drainer impersonating the legitimate cryptocurrency service Shapeshift. The domain is currently active and under investigation as a potential threat to users seeking to interact with Shapeshift's platform. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating it has not yet been widely detected by antivirus engines despite its malicious intent. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, resolves to the IP address 216.198.79.1, and was created on April 14, 2026. It holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, which may contribute to a false sense of security for unsuspecting users. Given the lack of widespread detection and the domain's recent creation, users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with shapeshift-installer.com. To ensure safety, verify any cryptocurrency-related domains through PhishDestroy's platform before proceeding. Additionally, users should cross-reference the domain with official Shapeshift communications and avoid downloading software from unofficial sources. Immediate blocking of this domain and IP address is recommended to prevent potential financial loss or credential theft. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 6ccd4564e447c342bd2e7301860b9725 TLS cert SHA-256: 044196b59c98bd0359f94857f4ee3a9035bbf44cc26fa436dca5d8ec7b3eeb65 ## 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/shapeshift-installer.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=shapeshift-installer.com 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.
