# PhishDestroy threat dossier — tronshield.network ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-25 05:26:07 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/tronshield.network/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 62/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (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: ["zita.ns.cloudflare.com", "moura.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-21 Page title: Tronshield — TRC20 Security Guides & Checklists ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-07-14 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 10a19a3094659a6434718938d36679166e41a8c3069c36b4e939ab4c047d8ba2 ## 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: 2026-04-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-21 13:36:41 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-23 13:40:05 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 00:28:09 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019daf9a-9c4c-743d-9bd1-c349de7a3099/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/tronshield.network crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.tronshield.network Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=tronshield.network AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/tronshield.network URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/tronshield.network/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-21 13:37:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies tronshield.network as an active crypto drainer phishing domain currently under investigation for fraudulent activities targeting TRON ecosystem users. The threat is classified as a generic phishing operation with a status of active and a current risk level marked as under_investigation. This domain is designed to mimic legitimate TRON services, aiming to deceive users into connecting cryptocurrency wallets or entering sensitive credentials, which are then exploited for unauthorized fund transfers. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors as of the latest scan, indicating it has evaded detection by major security engines. It resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for perceived legitimacy. The domain's infrastructure is hosted on Cloudflare, a common choice for malicious actors to obscure origin details. While specific registration details such as registrar name, creation date, and blocklist count were not provided in this dataset, the absence of detections suggests this campaign is newly active or employs sophisticated evasion techniques. Trust scores for this domain are currently nonexistent due to its recent emergence and low detection footprint. PhishDestroy advises immediate caution for users interacting with tronshield.network or any associated subdomains. The domain is confirmed active and poses a direct risk to cryptocurrency holdings, particularly for TRON users. Users are strongly recommended to verify the authenticity of any TRON-related services by cross-referencing official channels, avoiding unsolicited links, and utilizing PhishDestroy’s real-time verification tools. Additionally, wallet users should disconnect any suspicious connections immediately and monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions. Security teams are urged to block this domain and related IPs at the network level to prevent further exploitation. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - WHOIS creation date: 2026-04-21 - VirusTotal detections: now 4/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3344a22be552ed44145d3390ff6a038f TLS cert SHA-256: 10a19a3094659a6434718938d36679166e41a8c3069c36b4e939ab4c047d8ba2 ## 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/tronshield.network/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tronshield.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.
