# PhishDestroy threat dossier — shmon.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 06:16:01 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/shmon.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Jose) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Registrar: Dynadot Inc Nameservers: ns1.dyna-ns.net, ns2.dyna-ns.net Registered: 2026-05-15 Expires: 2027-05-15 Page title: Web3 Connect Demo ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-09-16 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 18442d30d7a3569552b4cff6a2c1e9e4e872334e515dd760e2bd04b25ff4cf08 ## 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: 2026-05-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-18 19:12:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-18 17:18:57 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 06:17:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-19 00:04:48 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019edbb6-805d-76e9-8091-5d6d412d541d/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/b1b0d81b-cdb0-4aba-9427-6c62f47d1855 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/shmon.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.shmon.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=shmon.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/shmon.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/shmon.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 14:58:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, shmon.xyz, is flagged as a high-risk credential harvesting phishing site targeting users through deceptive login portals. Analysis indicates no direct association with a specific brand or known drainer kit, suggesting a generic phishing campaign designed to capture usernames, passwords, and potentially multi-factor authentication codes. The lack of brand impersonation increases its versatility, allowing threat actors to adapt the phishing page to multiple targets dynamically. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain is registered through Dynadot Inc and resolves to IP address 54.215.31.113, hosted on Amazon.com, Inc. infrastructure (AS16509). It was created on May 15, 2026, with an anomalous future registration date likely intended to evade detection or indicate typosquatting. VirusTotal detection shows 5 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is currently blocked by PhishDestroy. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (YR2), providing a false sense of security to potential victims. As of the latest assessment, shmon.xyz remains active and unblocked by major security gateways, including Google Safe Browsing. Response actions should include immediate blacklisting at the network and endpoint levels, particularly for organizations with remote or hybrid workforces. Remaining risk is classified as high due to the domain's continued accessibility and low detection rate among security vendors. Security teams are advised to monitor for connections to 54.215.31.113 and review logs for any user interaction with the domain, especially credential submission attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260618-62D4B0 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 18442d30d7a3569552b4cff6a2c1e9e4e872334e515dd760e2bd04b25ff4cf08 ## 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/shmon.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=shmon.xyz 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.
