Monitoring pay-to-delete extortion networks

Indicators of Compromise (IOCs)

Technical fingerprints linking sister domains to shared infrastructure. Compiled from IPS News, Dutable, Stop Kompromat Medium, and public OSINT. Use for abuse reports and threat correlation — not for direct operator contact.

Contact indicators

Recovery and operator contact patterns documented across victim reports and investigative stings.

IndicatorType
[email protected] Documented address
[email protected] Documented address
ih*@protonmail.com (pattern) Email pattern
ih*@gmail.com (pattern) Email pattern

The ih*@protonmail.com and ih*@gmail.com patterns appear in multiple OSINT mappings. Treat wildcard matches as network-affiliated until disproven.

Hosting indicators

WordPress clone deployments reuse themes and plugin stacks across clusters. Registrar and hosting abuse@ contacts are the primary takedown vector — see /reports for a copy-paste IOC block.
