tornado-cash.net is an impersonation phishing page. Its domain borrows the Tornado Cash name, which puts it in front of crypto users looking for that privacy tool, while the page itself carries Cloudflare branding. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-07. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online, with its content reachable but sitting behind a protection layer.
How the scam works
Visitors who arrive expecting Tornado Cash get a page titled "Attention Required! | Cloudflare", the familiar wording of a browser security check. Impersonation pages like this rely on borrowed trust. A screen that looks like a routine Cloudflare verification lowers a visitor's guard, so the next prompt seems legitimate, whether it asks them to connect a wallet, sign a request or enter details. The page title shows a Cloudflare challenge screen, and we classify the site as an impersonation phishing page.
Evidence
On VirusTotal, 4 of 92 engines flag the domain as of 2026-10-19: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft and SOCRadar. That count is low, so most scanners would still let it through. The wallet-security listings carry more weight. Besides PhishDestroy, the domain is blocked by MetaMask and SEAL, both of which focus on crypto threats. It also appears in 2 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, so other researchers have tracked it independently.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-08-30 through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu, 38 days before PhishDestroy detected it. That gap suggests it was set up in advance rather than spun up and used the same day. The site resolves to 188.114.97.1 on AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.) in the US. Because that network fronts the site, the origin server stays hidden from public view.
What to do
Do not use this domain for anything related to Tornado Cash, and do not trust a verification screen just because it carries Cloudflare branding. If you connected a wallet or signed anything there, revoke the token approvals that site was granted. If any approval may have leaked, move your funds to a new wallet. If you typed a password or seed phrase, treat it as compromised: change the password and turn on 2FA, or abandon the wallet entirely if it was the seed phrase. Defenders should block tornado-cash.net and 188.114.97.1-based lookups tied to it at DNS and proxy level. Its low VirusTotal score means you cannot rely on vendor feeds alone to catch it.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

After a phishing incident
针对受害者的建议与指导
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
我应该立即采取什么措施？
紧急
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
更改所有密码 — 电子邮件、Exchange 账户，以及任何使用同一密码的账户
启用双因素认证 使用身份验证器应用（而非短信）。禁用基于短信的恢复功能
冻结卡片 如果您在钓鱼网站上输入了银行信息
我应该为报告收集哪些信息？
联邦调查局（FBI）指南
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
当地警方 — 即使无法立即采取行动，也能留下正式记录
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
虚假网站 — 与正规网站完全一致的克隆网站，仅域名略有改动
猪的屠宰 — 通过Telegram/WhatsApp/交友软件花数周时间建立信任，随后钱被骗走
退款诈骗 — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
