## INFRASTRUCTURE

IP address:      104.21.15.13 (US, San Francisco)
ASN:             ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:48:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies airdrop-shell.xyz as a low-risk crypto drainer domain primarily targeting cryptocurrency wallets through Wallet Connect abuse. Classified as a malicious wallet draining kit, this site was designed to siphon funds from unsuspecting users engaging with suspicious airdrop offers. The unique seed 3c91ce helped trace its activity and confirm its threat vector.

Technically, airdrop-shell.xyz was registered on February 27, 2025, via Sav.com, LLC, and resolved to the IP address 104.21.15.13. It appeared on four different security blocklists, highlighting its malicious intent despite only 2 out of 95 VirusTotal engines flagging it. The domain deployed a Wallet Connect abuse drainer kit, a known method to compromise crypto wallets by exploiting user trust during wallet connection requests.

Currently, airdrop-shell.xyz is offline, indicating possible takedown or abandonment. PhishDestroy recommends users remain vigilant of similar domains and avoid interacting with any airdrop or wallet connection requests from untrusted sources. Continued monitoring of this domain’s infrastructure and associated kits is advised to prevent recurring threats based on the 3c91ce seed intelligence.

## 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.
