# PhishDestroy threat dossier — spiralethereal.shop ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 00:00:13 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/spiralethereal.shop/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 4 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.163.179 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Namecheap, Inc. Nameservers: ["jobs.ns.cloudflare.com", "raina.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-12 Page title: spiralethereal.shop | 523: Origin is unreachable HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-21 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 7f228fd90684922a44bc97f31c5c7654259216ad8cc8dd0b33e75c19c70e0b68 ## 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: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-12 21:45:14 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-12 21:45:14 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 00:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 03:48:02 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ebd5c-2815-70b4-a939-3dd2dc953780/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/spiralethereal.shop crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.spiralethereal.shop Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=spiralethereal.shop AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/spiralethereal.shop URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/spiralethereal.shop/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 22:51:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain spiralethereal.shop has been identified as a confirmed fake storefront phishing site designed to deceive users into submitting payment details or personal information under the guise of a legitimate online retailer. Analysis indicates the domain is currently offline, returning an HTTP 523 error code indicating the origin server is unreachable, a common post-compromise behavior to evade detection. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through Namecheap, Inc. on June 12, 2026, an unusually future-dated registration likely intended to bypass automated age-based reputation checks. The domain resolves to the IP address 172.67.163.179, which is proxied through Cloudflare, a content delivery network frequently leveraged by malicious actors to obscure server origins and evade takedowns. At the time of assessment, the domain appears on one security blocklist and is flagged by 5 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, including detections for phishing and fraudulent content. Additional threat intelligence confirms the domain’s presence in four AlienVault OTX pulses, further corroborating its malicious classification. The domain’s Gridinsoft trust score stands at 0 out of 100, reflecting a complete absence of legitimate traffic or reputation. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt, a common but not exclusive indicator of malicious infrastructure, as free certificates lower the barrier for threat actors to deploy encrypted phishing pages. Current status indicates the domain has been taken offline, likely in response to detection or enforcement actions. However, the underlying infrastructure remains a latent threat, as domains registered through bulletproof registrars or proxied via content delivery networks can be rapidly reactivated. Organizations and users are advised to block the domain and its resolving IP address at the network perimeter. Security teams should monitor for related domains registered under the same registrar or utilizing identical IP infrastructure, as threat actors frequently rotate domains to sustain phishing campaigns. End users who may have interacted with the domain should immediately revoke any submitted credentials, monitor financial accounts for unauthorized activity, and report the incident to relevant fraud reporting authorities. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 7f228fd90684922a44bc97f31c5c7654259216ad8cc8dd0b33e75c19c70e0b68 ## 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/spiralethereal.shop/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=spiralethereal.shop 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.
