# PhishDestroy threat dossier — sherwin-williams-latam.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 01:41:11 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/sherwin-williams-latam.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain AlienVault OTX: 4 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB Registered: 2026-04-23 ## 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: 2026-04-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-13 02:41:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-10 23:46:08 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 08:18:14 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 00:01:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, sherwin-williams-latam.com, is currently flagged as an active brand impersonation phishing site targeting Sherwin-Williams, a global coatings manufacturer. The domain remains under investigation, with no confirmed takedown or mitigation actions observed as of this report. Analysis indicates the site may be designed to deceive users into divulging corporate credentials, personal information, or facilitating unauthorized transactions under the guise of official Sherwin-Williams Latin America operations. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on April 23, 2026, through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, a registrar frequently associated with newly created phishing domains. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a superficial layer of legitimacy. Despite this, the domain has been identified in 4 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses, indicating prior detection by security researchers. VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 vendors, suggesting the domain has not yet been widely flagged by automated scanning systems. The domain appears on 1 security blocklist and is currently blocked by PhishDestroy, though no additional public blocklist entries have been recorded at this time. The risk posed by sherwin-williams-latam.com is assessed as moderate to high due to its active status and brand impersonation tactics. Organizations are advised to implement immediate network-level blocking for the domain and any associated IP addresses. Security teams should monitor for credential harvesting attempts originating from this domain, particularly those targeting Latin American corporate networks. End-users should be educated on verifying domain authenticity before entering sensitive information, with emphasis on checking for subtle misspellings or unofficial top-level domains. Further investigation into the domain's hosting infrastructure and potential lateral movement within compromised networks is recommended. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 5f6d7be3e6336e8054b352eca928752f ## 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/sherwin-williams-latam.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sherwin-williams-latam.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.
