Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] sheikhchanges.shop Safety Check — Cryptocurrency Exchange This domain, sheikhchanges.shop, is currently under investigation for phishing activity targeting cryptocurrency exchange users. Analysis of the page title, rendered in Cyrillic as 'ШЕЙХ ОБМЕН,' suggests a focus on exchange or trading services, though the exact nature of the scam remains unverified. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3, which is associated with a content delivery network, a common tactic to obscure hosting origins and evade takedowns. SSL certification is provided by Google Trust Services, a legitimate issuer, which does not inherently validate the domain's safety but ensures encrypted connections. No detections were reported by security vendors at the time of the last scan, though this absence does not confirm the domain's legitimacy. The domain appears in one threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX, indicating prior suspicion or association with malicious activity. As of July 14, 2026, the site remains active, and defenders should treat it as a potential threat until further analysis confirms its intent. Organizations are advised to monitor network traffic for connections to this domain, particularly in environments where cryptocurrency-related services are accessed. Blocking or flagging the domain at the perimeter level is recommended as a precautionary measure. Additional investigation into user interactions with the site is warranted to determine if credentials, financial details, or other sensitive data have been compromised. No specific phishing kit or brand impersonation has been confirmed at this stage, and further technical analysis of the site's content is required to classify the threat accurately. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 864aaee28a246e21b0fe7bc36ba4357f TLS cert SHA-256: ef55c46f880af24e8b32d0720739df4a33445beeedb1ace56b3bd129401aa1f1 ## 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 (operator 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/sheikhchanges.shop/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sheikhchanges.shop 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
