sqhadowguard.run — High-Risk Phishing Investigation Report

As of July 28, 2026, the domain sqhadowguard.run has been identified as a high-risk phishing site. Analysis indicates that the domain is currently active and has been flagged by 15 of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting a moderate level of concern among cybersecurity professionals. The domain appears on one security blocklist, further corroborating its malicious nature. The domain is registered through MarkMonitor Inc., a well-known domain registrar, which might indicate an attempt to appear more legitimate to potential victims.

The nameservers for sqhadowguard.run are ns911b.microsoftinternetsafety.net and ns911a.microsoftinternetsafety.net, both associated with Microsoft Internet Safety, a service often used to manage and protect domains. The HTTP status code of 302 indicates that the domain is performing a temporary redirect, which is a common technique used in phishing campaigns to mask the true destination of the malicious site. The domain is blocked by PhishDestroy, a security service that actively monitors and blocks known phishing sites.

While the exact content of the site has not been analyzed, the combination of vendor detections, blocklisting, and the use of a temporary redirect strongly suggests that sqhadowguard.run is being used for phishing activities. Defenders should take immediate action to block this domain in their network security configurations and warn users to avoid accessing it. Regular monitoring and updates to blocklists are recommended to stay ahead of any evolving tactics used by the threat actors behind this domain.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      57827fa88083035e2381d11a25a7825f58138a6d1a4c8d389c6a9b841720f4bd

## 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.
