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: 2026-04-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-26 13:59:26 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-26 12:05:18 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-26 20:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-26 18:16:44 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f03cb-d953-7450-8969-663e0d019461/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/27363caf-716f-4f4a-9d53-e16634966851 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/sp3ndshop.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.sp3ndshop.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=sp3ndshop.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/sp3ndshop.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/sp3ndshop.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 14:07:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, sp3ndshop.com, is flagged as a high-risk generic phishing site targeting users with a fraudulent stablecoin-based shopping platform. Analysis indicates the site mimics a legitimate USDC payment gateway, claiming to allow Amazon purchases via cryptocurrency. The page title, "SP3ND - Shop Amazon with Stablecoins | USDC Shopping Platform," suggests an attempt to exploit trust in digital currency transactions, likely to harvest wallet credentials or misdirect funds. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on April 11, 2026, through Dynadot Inc, a registrar frequently observed in phishing campaigns. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.204.25, which has been associated with other malicious domains. Detection metrics show 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain as malicious, while no entries were found in Google Safe Browsing at the time of analysis. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt, a common tactic to feign legitimacy despite the domain’s fraudulent intent. As of the latest assessment, sp3ndshop.com remains active, posing an ongoing threat to users engaging in cryptocurrency transactions. No takedown actions have been observed, and the domain continues to resolve. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain and IP at the network level, while users should be cautioned against interacting with any payment requests originating from this source. The remaining risk is classified as high due to the domain’s operational status and targeted exploitation of stablecoin payment mechanisms. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260626-34A2D3 Favicon MD5: 3544bb9d5345f419359bb3944e934c8b TLS cert SHA-256: c871ac321b445a6b351d0aeef9ffe27aa152d5c8dc37a45030d10387892effad ## 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/sp3ndshop.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sp3ndshop.com 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.
