Verify a decision

Every moderation decision on AVOID.NET is anchored to the Solana blockchain. You don't have to trust us — you can verify cryptographically that we committed to a verdict at a specific moment and have not rewritten it.

How verification works

  1. We commit. When a moderator accepts/rejects a submission, we serialize the decision into deterministic UTF-8 bytes (payload_canonical_string), hash it with SHA-256, encode the digest as base58, and write it to Solana inside an SPL Memo v2 transaction.
  2. We store the bytes. The exact bytes we hashed are stored alongside the decision in our database. Anyone can read them and recompute the hash in any language.
  3. You compare three values. Database hash, your independently-recomputed hash, and the hash inside the on-chain memo. If all three match, the decision is authentic and timestamped.
The on-chain memo format is AVOID.NET|v1|h:<b58-sha256>|d:<id>|t:<iso>

Find a signature on any investigation page's decision log, or run python -m src.verify_decision --signature <sig> for a CLI check.

However, the page's central, title-level claim that this specific incident is attributed to the 'TeamPCP' threat group, and that multiple named vendors agree on that attribution, does not hold up: only one of roughly seven vendor sources covering the incident makes an unhedged attribution, several others describe only a malware-lineage or tooling resemblance, and one of the page's own cited sources explicitly states that no actor has been established for this incident (claim_findings[0], claim_findings[1]). A related but separate problem also surfaced in the page's TeamPCP background narrative, where specific figures and a 'seventh phase' framing are not supported by the sources cited for them (claim_findings[13], [14], [18]). TeamPCP and the Mini Shai-Hulud toolkit are real, independently documented entities — the defect is overstated confidence and breadth of attribution, not invention of an actor. At 22.7% disputed claims, concentrated substantially in the page's headline claim, combined with a high-priority gap on quantified financial/on-chain impact that matters for a platform built on on-chain evidence, the page should be revised to soften its attribution framing rather than left as-is or removed.","score_delta":-15,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
