# PhishDestroy threat dossier — shardssoniclabs.online ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-06 16:58:10 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/shardssoniclabs.online/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: WalletConnect Wallet drainer: Wallet Connect Abuse ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 13/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Ermes, ESET, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Seclookup, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 75.2.60.5 (US, Seattle) ASN: ASAS16509 AMAZON-02, US Hosting org: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Registrar: IONOS SE Nameservers: ns1070.ui-dns.biz, ns1093.ui-dns.com, ns1100.ui-dns.de, ns1113.ui-dns.org Registered: 2025-10-21 Expires: 2026-10-21 Page title: Sonic Shards ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2025-10-21 (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) First reported: 2025-11-08 02:59:46 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-03 19:26:26 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-14 06:11:00 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019a6167-82b6-759d-8512-795a4b89b676/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/shardssoniclabs.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.shardssoniclabs.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=shardssoniclabs.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/shardssoniclabs.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/shardssoniclabs.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 02:48:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies shardssoniclabs.online as a high-risk domain involved in crypto drainer activities targeting cryptocurrency wallets. The domain, titled "Sonic Shards," is linked to malicious use of Wallet Connect Abuse, a technique that illicitly drains funds from users' digital wallets by exploiting wallet connection protocols. This poses significant financial risks to users interacting with the site. The domain was registered on October 21, 2025, through IONOS SE and resolves to the IP address 198.18.1.9. It has been flagged on four security blocklists and flagged by multiple security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating widespread detection of its malicious nature. The infrastructure supports a drainer kit specifically designed to abuse Wallet Connect sessions, enabling attackers to siphon cryptocurrency without user consent. Currently, shardssoniclabs.online is offline, which mitigates immediate threats from this source. However, users should remain vigilant against similar scams employing Wallet Connect Abuse. It is recommended to avoid interacting with unknown crypto-related domains, use hardware wallets where possible, and enable multi-factor authentication on digital asset platforms to reduce risk exposure. ## 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/shardssoniclabs.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=shardssoniclabs.online 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.
