# PhishDestroy threat dossier — shibarewards.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-28 11:24:54 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/shibarewards.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 57/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Airdrop ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.24.52 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["cora.ns.cloudflare.com", "kolton.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2026-09-16 Page title: Shib.io | Home of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) Ecosystem. ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-06-11 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 2cc181d6a9e88095ec5e6bda167477904963d337802fc693eeef63a24945f878 ## 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: 2026-02-21 (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) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-14 12:38:29 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-27 12:49:19 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-16 06:05:30 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c56c0-a564-7499-a88a-02be4fc2fc5f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/71f51107-b5bd-40ad-92f0-e87e23e0d31c Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/shibarewards.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.shibarewards.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=shibarewards.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/shibarewards.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/shibarewards.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 06:13:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies shibarewards.org as a low-risk generic phishing domain primarily targeting users interested in the Shiba Inu (SHIB) cryptocurrency ecosystem. Despite its low threat level, the domain was designed to deceive victims by mimicking legitimate crypto-related services, potentially aiming to harvest sensitive user credentials. The domain was registered through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited on February 21, 2026. It resolved to IP address 104.21.24.52 and exhibited poor PageSpeed performance with a score of 26/100, which is characteristic of hastily deployed phishing pages. Security analysis shows the domain appeared on one security blocklist and was flagged by only two out of ninety-five antivirus vendors on VirusTotal. These indicators, combined with a Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100, suggest limited but credible phishing activity. The site presented a page titled "Shib.io | Home of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) Ecosystem," attempting to lure users seeking official SHIB platforms. Currently, shibarewards.org is offline, reducing immediate risk to potential victims. Users are advised to remain vigilant and avoid interacting with suspicious domains promising cryptocurrency rewards or ecosystem access. PhishDestroy recommends verifying official sources rigorously before submitting any personal data or wallet credentials online. Continuous monitoring of similar domains is essential to mitigate future phishing attempts targeting the Shiba Inu community. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260214-604128 Favicon MD5: 551e2c6389fe28c8f8e29bc18c9254c3 TLS cert SHA-256: 2cc181d6a9e88095ec5e6bda167477904963d337802fc693eeef63a24945f878 ## 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/shibarewards.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=shibarewards.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
