# PhishDestroy threat dossier — tornadocashmix.network ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 18:26:21 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/tornadocashmix.network/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 12/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, LevelBlue, SOCRadar, Webroot AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.74.2 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["bella.ns.cloudflare.com", "troy.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-04 Expires: 2027-06-04 Page title: Tornado Mix | Deposit ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-02 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: d3999d97ab7cea11a12043e5c9474f53d0c1469b8ce9cd9fc67b5b6d50d9e4b2 ## 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: 2026-06-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-10 15:59:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-10 15:58:06 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-14 00:17:13 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 00:18:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, tornadocashmix.network, operates as a fraudulent cryptocurrency mixer phishing site designed to harvest wallet credentials and private keys. Analysis of the page structure reveals a fake deposit interface titled 'Tornado Mix | Deposit,' which mimics legitimate privacy tools to deceive users into submitting sensitive transaction data. The domain specifically targets cryptocurrency users seeking anonymity services, exploiting the reputation of established mixer platforms to facilitate credential theft and unauthorized fund transfers. Infrastructure analysis provides multiple indicators of malicious intent. The domain was registered on June 04, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk registrations. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.74.2 and is flagged by 12 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, including detection as generic_phishing. The domain appears on three distinct security blocklists and is referenced in two AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses. Additional technical indicators include the use of Cloudflare for hosting, HTTP/3 protocol implementation, and a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, which collectively obscure the true origin of the malicious infrastructure. Users who interacted with tornadocashmix.network should immediately revoke any permissions granted to the site in wallet applications. All cryptocurrency credentials, including private keys and seed phrases, should be considered compromised and replaced. Monitor transaction histories for unauthorized activity and transfer remaining assets to new, secure wallets. Report the incident to relevant blockchain security teams and local cybercrime authorities. Avoid reusing passwords or recovery phrases across platforms, and verify domain authenticity before engaging with any cryptocurrency service. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3508d45b71c4157b23ce09f352deebd4 TLS cert SHA-256: d3999d97ab7cea11a12043e5c9474f53d0c1469b8ce9cd9fc67b5b6d50d9e4b2 ## 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/tornadocashmix.network/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tornadocashmix.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
