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: 2025-11-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-15 14:02:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 17:28:11 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 00:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 00:40:13 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ecb27-b440-754c-b247-50fb322f38ad/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/799a4d73-5235-4204-98a7-abe3e3cf7d58 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/shift.university crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.shift.university Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=shift.university AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/shift.university URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/shift.university/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 17:55:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain shift.university is currently flagged as an active credential harvesting phishing site targeting Russian-speaking users. Analysis of the page title, "Практикум 'Как стать тренером изменений для себя и других'", suggests an attempt to lure victims into submitting personal or professional credentials under the guise of a training program. The domain remains operational and has not been taken down despite detection by security systems. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on November 26, 2025, and resolves to the IP address 5.181.161.108, hosted under AS205282 (TILDA PLATFORM CLOUD SERVICES CO. L.L.C) in Ukraine. The site employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (serial number E8), which while providing encryption, does not validate legitimacy. As of the latest scan, shift.university is flagged by 2 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on one additional blocklist, with PhishDestroy marking it as malicious. The domain's creation date is unusually recent, further indicating potential malicious intent. Current risk assessment classifies shift.university as high due to its active status and targeted social engineering tactics. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain at the DNS or network level, revoke any credentials potentially exposed to this site, and monitor for unauthorized access attempts. End-users should be trained to recognize phishing indicators, such as unsolicited training offers and non-verifiable registration details. Security teams are recommended to correlate this domain with other indicators of compromise, particularly those associated with credential harvesting campaigns targeting Eastern European audiences. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-3C85CF Favicon MD5: 06da1ecc880ba9b7d9a9827b76ab6adc TLS cert SHA-256: 515d00704927ac0defc36f08a59a876b1f71e81aaac732d07b224ac32d2e999c ## 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/shift.university/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=shift.university 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.
