# PhishDestroy threat dossier — tornadocash.network ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-22 14:16:45 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/tornadocash.network/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 79/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Wallet/Seed Phishing Targeted brand: MetaMask ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Seclookup, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Domain Science Kutatási Szolgáltató Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság Nameservers: ["abdullah.ns.cloudflare.com", "ryleigh.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2026-08-05 Page title: Tornado Cash Official | Private ETH, USDT & BNB Transactions ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-05-27 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 16da2e50b1884c44a99ee97e74ef671431120d8d1b67933b9d4f0e3e282a329f ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-09 07:51:05 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-22 12:21:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-16 00:04:32 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c40bc-0ec2-743e-8a98-037e961e707d/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/tornadocash.network crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.tornadocash.network Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=tornadocash.network AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/tornadocash.network URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/tornadocash.network/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 21:00:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] tornadocash.network Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy The domain tornadocash.network is a phishing site engaged in brand impersonation targeting MetaMask users. It presents itself as a legitimate Tornado Cash service but is designed to deceive victims into disclosing wallet credentials or private keys, posing an elevated risk of financial theft. No crypto drainer kit was detected, and the site is currently taken offline. Technical indicators confirm the malicious nature of tornadocash.network. The domain was flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, including Seclookup and SOCRadar, and appears on 4 security blocklists, such as PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. Registered through Domain Science Kutatási Szolgáltató Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság on February 21, 2026, it resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, hosted by Cloudflare in the US. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services / WE1, and the observed page title reads 'Tornado Cash Official | Private ETH, USDT & BNB Transactions'. Technologies detected include Cloudflare Browser Insights and HTTP/3. Victims of tornadocash.network should immediately revoke any token approvals granted to the site, transfer remaining funds to a new wallet, and monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions. Change passwords for any accounts accessed via the phishing site and enable two-factor authentication where available. Report the domain to MetaMask’s official abuse channels, as well as to platforms like PhishTank or Google Safe Browsing to prevent further exploitation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: fff3fee8c64f2eba46c935668ed7ae5e8b03be6e8843d5c9d7d733c74c89279b TLS cert SHA-256: 16da2e50b1884c44a99ee97e74ef671431120d8d1b67933b9d4f0e3e282a329f ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/tornadocash.network/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tornadocash.network 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
