# PhishDestroy threat dossier — shromies.info ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-26 20:41:02 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/shromies.info/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Ledger ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US 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: cleo.ns.cloudflare.com, melinda.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-23 Expires: 2027-05-23 Page title: SHROOMIES Allocation — Claim $SHRM on XRPL ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-21 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 008734159a7ad82827bd3cae9996369ecf485421ff7fa053da3484272d67e6a6 ## 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: 2026-05-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-17 16:36:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 21:44:37 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-26 20:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-19 00:17:44 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed600-e9df-7606-af48-5afc27ad11b1/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/4c9095a2-195f-4144-b07d-44b4291ebf93 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/shromies.info crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.shromies.info Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=shromies.info AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/shromies.info URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/shromies.info/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 14:26:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, shromies.info, operates as a crypto drainer phishing site targeting users of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) ecosystem. The page impersonates a legitimate $SHRM token allocation event, presenting a fraudulent interface to trick victims into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets. Once connected, the site executes unauthorized transactions, draining funds from the victim’s wallet by exploiting smart contract interactions or signature requests. The threat specifically leverages the growing interest in XRPL-based tokens, using social engineering tactics to create a false sense of urgency around token claims or airdrops. Analysis of the domain reveals multiple indicators of malicious activity. The domain is flagged by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and it appears on three distinct security blocklists. It was registered on May 23, 2024, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. The site resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which is hosted on Cloudflare’s infrastructure (AS13335), a common tactic to obscure the true origin of the server. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt (serial number E7), providing a veneer of legitimacy while failing to mitigate the underlying threat. The page title, "SHROOMIES Allocation — Claim $SHRM on XRPL," directly mimics the branding of a legitimate token distribution event, increasing the likelihood of successful deception. Users who have interacted with this domain should take immediate action to mitigate potential losses. First, revoke any wallet permissions granted to the site by visiting the connected wallet’s settings and removing all associated dApp authorizations. Next, transfer remaining assets to a new, secure wallet address that has never been exposed to the phishing site. Monitor the original wallet for any unauthorized transactions and report the incident to relevant blockchain security platforms. If private keys or seed phrases were entered on the site, assume full wallet compromise and discontinue use of the affected wallet entirely. Exercise heightened caution with future token claims or airdrops, verifying the legitimacy of such events through official project channels before interacting with any links or interfaces. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-29E121 TLS cert SHA-256: 008734159a7ad82827bd3cae9996369ecf485421ff7fa053da3484272d67e6a6 ## 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/shromies.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=shromies.info 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.
