# PhishDestroy threat dossier — tanakabauer.info ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-21 21:57:20 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/tanakabauer.info/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 13/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CRDF, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, SOCRadar, Webroot AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.140.120 Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

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: 2025-08-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-17 14:09:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 21:02:16 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-21 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 00:14:29 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed57b-06b8-769a-8564-933e3b687d19/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/tanakabauer.info crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.tanakabauer.info Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=tanakabauer.info AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/tanakabauer.info URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/tanakabauer.info/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:34:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain tanakabauer.info has been identified as a generic phishing site and is currently offline. This domain does not appear to impersonate any specific brand, but its intentions are still malicious. PhishDestroy identifies this domain as a potential threat to users who may have stumbled upon it, and its elevated risk level warrants caution. The domain tanakabauer.info was flagged by 13 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating a significant level of suspicion surrounding its activities. It was registered through NameSilo, LLC, and resolves to the IP address 172.67.140.120. The domain was created on August 07, 2025, and appears on 1 security blocklist, further solidifying its reputation as a potentially hazardous site. The SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services / WE1 may have attempted to lend an air of legitimacy to the site, but its true intentions have been exposed. Given the current status of tanakabauer.info as an offline site, it is clear that efforts have been made to mitigate its potential harm. However, it is essential for users to remain vigilant and exercise caution when encountering similar domains in the future. PhishDestroy recommends that users verify the authenticity of websites before providing sensitive information and keep their security software up to date to protect against potential threats. By taking these precautions, users can significantly reduce their risk of falling victim to generic phishing sites like tanakabauer.info. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-069934 TLS cert SHA-256: 17691f10733156ac3ab8a7376ef8707fd428d80d2c8daa903972782ca6aedc21 ## 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/tanakabauer.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tanakabauer.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.
