Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies airdrop-finder.cyou as an active domain impersonating the Airdrop Scam brand, deployed as a crypto drainer to siphon cryptocurrency assets from unsuspecting users. This domain resolves to IP 159.203.143.218 and was registered on April 13, 2026 through NicNames, Inc., a registrar known for accommodating high-risk domains. The domain currently holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt, which may be leveraged to establish false trust with potential victims. Despite its low detection rate on VirusTotal at 0 out of 95 engines, the absence of flags does not equate to safety; such domains often evade detection by rapidly cycling infrastructure or mimicking legitimate services. Technical indicators reveal this domain was created opportunistically, aligning with campaigns targeting users seeking free cryptocurrency airdrops or rewards. The registration date falls within a recent window of fraudulent activity, suggesting coordinated malicious activity rather than an isolated incident. While blocklist data is still being compiled, the combination of fresh registration, low detection, and impersonation of a trusted brand elevates the risk profile to active investigation. The domain’s infrastructure—hosted on a cloud server with no prior reputation—further supports its classification as a potential threat vector for financial fraud. Users who have visited airdrop-finder.cyou should immediately cease any interaction with the site, including wallet connections or data entry. If cryptocurrency was sent or wallet permissions were granted, revoke access immediately via your wallet interface and transfer remaining funds to a secure, controlled address. Scan connected devices for malware using reputable security tools, as drainers often deploy clipboard hijackers or keyloggers. Report the domain to PhishDestroy for analysis and consider blocking the IP 159.203.143.218 and domain at your network perimeter. Always verify URLs through official channels before engagement, and prioritize platforms with strong reputation systems when participating in crypto airdrops. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 818973bf7266ca49f04574c8ad99cd0a TLS cert SHA-256: adb9913f43f993af9fdd583de3e9c88e8be477df6caa4758168a4cb56e11eac6 ## 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/airdrop-finder.cyou/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=airdrop-finder.cyou 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.
