tech-tribune.shop phishing kit impersonates news portal - high

Analysis conducted on July 28, 2026 identifies tech-tribune.shop as an active phishing domain registered through MarkMonitor Inc. Infrastructure inspection reveals the domain uses four MarkMonitor nameservers: ns1.markmonitor.com, ns2.markmonitor.com, ns3.markmonitor.com, and ns4.markmonitor.com. The site returns an HTTP 302 redirect status, indicating it is configured to forward visitors to another location, a common tactic in phishing campaigns to obscure the final malicious destination. At the time of assessment, 14 of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal flag the domain as malicious, and it appears on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy.

The domain remains active and unmitigated. No evidence confirms the specific brand or entity being impersonated, the content of the phishing page, or the final redirect target. Defenders should treat all traffic to tech-tribune.shop as high-risk and implement blocking at DNS, proxy, or endpoint levels.

Network logs should be reviewed for connections to this domain, particularly any 302 redirects, and affected endpoints isolated for forensic analysis. The use of MarkMonitor nameservers does not indicate legitimacy, as phishing actors frequently exploit reputable DNS providers to evade detection.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      cba86af4cb19f89f2383c70c9fa725a8dd01784929ae6001c29d27f17a189373

## 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.
