## 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.

## TIMELINE

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:17:34 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.xeleb.us as a low-risk crypto drainer domain. Crypto drainers are designed to steal cryptocurrency assets by deceiving users, often via fraudulent airdrop schemes. Although the risk level is assessed as low, users are advised to remain cautious when interacting with domains promising free crypto assets, as these can lead to financial losses.

The domain airdrop.xeleb.us was registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com on August 11, 2025, and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. It has been flagged by one security vendor and appears on a single security blocklist, indicating some level of suspicion by cybersecurity platforms. This infrastructure data suggests the domain was likely set up for malicious purposes, specifically targeting cryptocurrency users.

Currently, the domain is offline, reducing immediate risk to end-users. PhishDestroy recommends maintaining vigilance against similar crypto-related domains and advises users to verify the legitimacy of any crypto airdrop offers thoroughly. Employing up-to-date security software and consulting trusted sources before engaging in such activities will further enhance protection against potential crypto drainers.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      6e0d824de5493d881ff84e62216e939f676aef8c45c6e1f55118558277b6f59b

## 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.
