Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, tornadocash1.com, poses a high-risk threat as a crypto drainer designed to impersonate the legitimate Tornado Cash privacy service. Crypto drainers operate by tricking users into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets to malicious smart contracts, which then execute unauthorized transactions, draining funds without consent. The domain targets individuals seeking anonymity in crypto transactions, exploiting trust in the Tornado Cash brand to facilitate financial theft. Analysis indicates the threat is active and continues to deceive users into disclosing sensitive wallet access details. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on March 23, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with malicious activity. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.37.88, which hosts multiple suspicious domains. As of the latest scan, 11 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged tornadocash1.com as malicious, with detections including phishing, fraud, and crypto-related threats. The domain uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which, while providing encryption, does not validate legitimacy and is commonly exploited by threat actors to appear trustworthy. If you or someone in your network has visited tornadocash1.com, immediate action is required to mitigate potential financial loss. First, disconnect any wallets connected to the site and revoke all active smart contract approvals using a blockchain explorer or wallet management tool. Next, transfer remaining funds to a new, secure wallet address not previously exposed to the domain. Monitor all connected accounts for unauthorized transactions and enable transaction alerts where possible. Report the domain to relevant platforms, including cryptocurrency exchanges and security communities, to prevent further exploitation. Users should also scan their devices for malware, as crypto drainers may deploy additional payloads to maintain persistence or exfiltrate data. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 87a0a89ec38b88ddf2fa3364eb37839e TLS cert SHA-256: d3a67db4fc08bf3c3747ba8fb301a08d04b9534d9f907f4f5ea06f13c36db9c8 ## 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/tornadocash1.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tornadocash1.com 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.
