# PhishDestroy threat dossier — shellinvestment.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-30 08:02:28 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/shellinvestment.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- CRITICAL THREAT — DO NOT VISIT Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: CRDF, Gridinsoft, Netcraft, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 157.173.209.41 (US, Boston) ASN: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Hosting org: Hostinger International Limited Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] shellinvestment.org — Shell Brand Phishing Domain Report This domain, shellinvestment.org, was registered on November 12, 2025, through NameSilo, LLC, and remains active as of July 27, 2026. Infrastructure analysis reveals it resolves to the IP address 157.173.209.41 and uses nameservers ns1.dns-parking.com and ns2.dns-parking.com, a configuration often associated with low-cost or bulletproof hosting environments. The domain is flagged by one security vendor on VirusTotal and appears on a single security blocklist, indicating early-stage detection rather than widespread recognition. PhishDestroy has blocked access to this domain, suggesting confirmation of phishing activity targeting the Shell brand or related financial services. No additional details regarding the specific phishing kit, page content, or targeted user actions are available at this time. The domain’s registration age (eight months) and continued activity suggest it may be part of an ongoing campaign rather than a short-lived operation. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk and prioritize blocking it at the DNS or network level. Monitoring for related domains using the same nameservers or IP range may uncover additional infrastructure linked to this threat actor. Further analysis of the resolved IP address and associated domains could provide insight into the broader campaign scope. If internal logs indicate user interaction with this domain, immediate incident response measures should be initiated to assess potential credential compromise or malware exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-BC821B TLS cert SHA-256: a05d5a7e2a7a0ac5fd57fd79c4bc28618197674fb3858872a6a6ac2dabe8ea1a ## 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/shellinvestment.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=shellinvestment.org 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.
