Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies airdroppconnext.live as a malicious domain actively impersonating legitimate Airdrop services to deceive users into divulging sensitive information or transferring cryptocurrency. This domain employs social engineering tactics, leveraging the trust associated with Airdrop promotions to lure victims into fraudulent transactions or credential harvesting schemes. The threat actor behind this campaign has registered a domain designed to mimic official Airdrop platforms, creating a convincing facade to exploit user trust and facilitate financial theft. This domain was flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a moderate but significant detection rate. Registered through Web Commerce Communications Limited dba WebNic.cc, the domain airdroppconnext.live was created on May 05, 2025, and resolves to IP address 172.67.215.52. The presence of a valid SSL certificate from Google Trust Services further enhances its deceptive appearance, as users may associate the HTTPS prefix with legitimate websites. The combination of a recently registered domain, low but non-zero detection rate, and active infrastructure suggests an elevated risk of exposure to unsuspecting users. Users who have visited airdroppconnext.live should immediately cease any interaction with the site and avoid entering credentials or cryptocurrency wallet details. If any information was submitted, users are advised to revoke any exposed API keys, rotate passwords, and monitor financial accounts for unauthorized transactions. Organizations should consider blocking this domain at the network perimeter and updating threat intelligence feeds to prevent further exposure. Additionally, users are encouraged to report this domain to their security teams or relevant abuse channels to aid in broader mitigation efforts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 6ff896935746ab25ca12f23103342110e3432cb95531ff8bcb19af9d97e64139 ## 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/airdropconnext.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=airdropconnext.live 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.
