Hosting org: AWS Global Accelerator (GLOBAL) Registrar: GMO Internet Group, Inc. d/b/a Onamae.com Nameservers: ["ns5.afternic.com", "ns6.afternic.com", "verification-gakbzzzqmt6gkcplw4efpp.ns101.verify.hn"] HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: GoDaddy.com / GoDaddy TLS Intermediate CA DV - R1v1 Expires: 2027-01-10 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 4ad35a352b3cd1600c0cda58476be1bedf3a57dd26db2e1411bd57e36b92a4e9 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-19 12:38:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-24 00:20:58 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-20 01:27:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] airdrop-walrus.xyz Safety Check — Crypto Drainer Detected Analysis of airdrop-walrus.xyz shows an active infrastructure supporting a fake airdrop campaign classified as a crypto drainer. The domain is registered through GMO Internet Group, Inc. d/b/a Onamae.com and resolves to the IPv4 address 13.248.169.48, which is associated with an AWS Global Accelerator endpoint located in Canada. The site presents a valid TLS certificate issued by GoDaddy.com under the GoDaddy TLS Intermediate CA DV - R1v1 chain, and HTTP requests return a 200 status code, indicating a functional web service. The domain is served by the authoritative nameservers ns5.afternic.com, ns6.afternic.com, and a verification sub‑domain (verification-gakbzzzqmt6gkcplw4efpp.ns). Reputation data shows the domain is listed on three security blocklists and has been blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. VirusTotal scans report six detections out of ninety‑one AV engines, reinforcing the malicious assessment. While the exact payload delivery method has not been publicly disclosed, the combination of registration details, hosting on a cloud accelerator, a legitimate‑looking certificate, and multiple blocklist entries suggests a coordinated effort to lure cryptocurrency users into submitting private keys or seed phrases. Defenders should block the domain at the DNS and proxy layers, monitor for outbound connections to the resolved IP, and alert users about the fake airdrop narrative. Continuous monitoring of the associated IP range and periodic re‑scanning of the domain are recommended to detect any changes in behavior or additional indicators of compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 4ad35a352b3cd1600c0cda58476be1bedf3a57dd26db2e1411bd57e36b92a4e9 ## 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 (operator 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-walrus.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=airdrop-walrus.xyz 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
