01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

The domain defendervault. shop was registered on 22 July 2026, just five days before this scan. An invalid SSL certificate with no issuer and zero days to expiry is a strong indicator of a hastily assembled malicious site. Browser blocklists have already flagged the URL for social engineering, and one antivirus engine returned a malicious detection. The combination of extreme youth, certificate failure, and blocklist hits outweighs the single-engine detection count and points to an active phishing operation.

Page Content

The captured page returns a standard nginx 404 error, which is consistent with a phishing kit that has not yet been fully deployed or is serving different content to different visitors.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on IP 34.75.127.116 with a clean abuse score, yet the SSL certificate is invalid and issued by none. No redirects were observed, indicating the domain itself is the intended destination.

Domain History

WHOIS records show the domain was registered only five days ago through Spaceship, Inc. with privacy-protected ownership, a timeframe typical of throw-away phishing infrastructure.

Web Reputation

Google Safe Browsing has already listed the URL under its social-engineering category. One of 92 antivirus engines flagged the page as malicious, while two others marked it suspicious.

What this means for you

Do not enter any credentials or personal information on this site. The combination of a brand-new domain, broken encryption, and active blocklist placement indicates a live phishing attempt.

Why the score is 20

A browser protection list identifies malware or social engineering. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

03 · Investigation Story

Investigation story

The behavior, reputation, and operator evidence that explains how this site may affect a visitor.
  1. 1

    What the site claims

    The page presents itself as a service operating on defendervault.shop.

  2. 2

    What we observed

    The page itself could not be fully inspected, so the report relies on the other saved checks.

  3. 3

    What independent research found

    No complete independent-research result was available in this saved report.

  4. 4

    What remains unverified

    3 of the five core capabilities did not complete, so those gaps remain visible in the coverage ledger.

What this means for you

You were probably about to log in or type personal details here.

Anything you enter — username, password, card number, one-time code — goes straight to criminals, who use it to take over your real accounts and drain them.

How this scam works

The trap, step by step

  1. They clone a real login page (a bank, email provider, PayPal, a courier) pixel-for-pixel.

  2. You're driven here by an email, text, or ad with an urgent reason to “verify”, “unlock”, or “confirm” your account.

  3. You type your username and password — which flow straight to the scammers instead of the real company.

  4. They log into your real account, change the password, and drain it or sell the access.

Recognising the pattern is the best defence — if a site follows these steps, close it and don't enter anything.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

08 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is defendervault.shop a scam or a legit website?
defendervault.shop is a dangerous phishing — do not enter your login or personal details. Our review tagged it for phishing. 3 of 92 security engines flag it (1 as outright malicious). The domain is only 5 days old through Spaceship, Inc. — a fresh registration is a classic scam fingerprint. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
Is defendervault.shop safe to use?
No — defendervault.shop has a Safety Score of 20/100 (Dangerous) because decisive threat evidence was saved with this scan. Leave the site and do not log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
I already paid or entered my details on defendervault.shop — what should I do?
If you've already paid or handed over details on defendervault.shop, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on defendervault.shop and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
Can I get my money back from defendervault.shop?
Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
Did defendervault.shop steal my password or personal information?
If you entered anything on defendervault.shop, assume it was captured. Phishing pages exist purely to harvest what you type — usernames, passwords, card numbers, or one-time codes. Change the password immediately on the real site and anywhere you reused it, enable two-factor authentication, and if you entered card or banking details, contact your bank about the risk of fraud. Also be alert for follow-up "security" calls or emails that try to exploit the same information.
How do I report defendervault.shop?
You can report defendervault.shop through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
defendervault.shop looks professional — how can it still be a scam?
Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
Has defendervault.shop been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 3 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged defendervault.shop, 1 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is defendervault.shop on any phishing or malware blacklists?
Yes. defendervault.shop is listed on the major browser blocklist feeds under: SOCIAL_ENGINEERING. Modern browsers use these feeds to warn or block billions of users before a page even loads — a listing here is one of the strongest safety signals there is.
How old is the defendervault.shop domain?
defendervault.shop is 5 days old, registered on July 22, 2026 through Spaceship, Inc.. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
Where is defendervault.shop hosted?
defendervault.shop resolves to an IP operated by Google LLC in US (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the defendervault.shop report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on July 27, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about defendervault.shop has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
