No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-10 14:40:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-12 21:22:27 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-08-01 08:20:35 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4c0a-0fa5-7562-ac4d-e879a9bf6755/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/b58c4217-dd72-4860-8a7a-28c53fcb6ca7 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/side-shift.to crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.side-shift.to Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=side-shift.to AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/side-shift.to URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/side-shift.to/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-10 15:00:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] side-shift.to: Fake Crypto Exchange Site Stealing Credentials This domain, side-shift.to, is flagged as a credential theft site targeting cryptocurrency users. Analysis indicates it mimics the legitimate SideShift exchange platform, potentially tricking visitors into entering wallet credentials or private keys. The site may also deploy crypto drainers to automatically siphon funds from connected wallets without user consent, leading to immediate financial loss. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 24, 2026, through the Government of the Kingdom of Tonga. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and currently shows 0 detections out of 95 security engines on VirusTotal, suggesting it has evaded widespread detection so far. AlienVault OTX lists it in one threat intelligence pulse, indicating early-stage awareness within the security community. If you visited side-shift.to or entered any credentials, immediately disconnect the device from the internet to prevent further data exfiltration. Revoke access for any connected wallets or browser extensions, and transfer remaining funds to a new, secure wallet. Reset passwords for all cryptocurrency-related accounts, enable multi-factor authentication, and scan the device for malware using updated security tools. Report the incident to your local cybercrime unit and the legitimate SideShift platform to aid in mitigation efforts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-A76E38 Favicon MD5: a74f910a23f2b7f1dc5f5664b90319d1 TLS cert SHA-256: 2ff274a80d6e2b80ac01d505c48d64a431393cc837c34ab3b16aa6dcec2e93c6 ## 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 (operator 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/side-shift.to/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=side-shift.to 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
