## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-06-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-06-21 03:10:02 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-18 00:19:28 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:35:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies airdrops.fans as a brand impersonation threat specifically targeting the Airdrop Scam brand. This domain, currently taken offline, was created on June 17, 2026, and is under active investigation for phishing activities. The threat type is brand impersonation, meaning the site mimics a legitimate airdrop platform to deceive users into connecting wallets or providing sensitive information, ultimately aiming to drain cryptocurrency assets.

Technical analysis reveals that airdrops.fans has not been flagged by any of the 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating it evaded initial detection. The domain was registered through Porkbun LLC and resolves to IP address 44.227.76.166. It lacks an SSL certificate, which is a significant red flag for any site handling sensitive data. Despite the low detection rate, the domain appears on 3 security blocklists, suggesting some security communities have already identified it as malicious. These indicators collectively point to a calculated effort to bypass automated scanners while still posing a credible threat to unsuspecting users.

Given that the domain is now offline, users who may have visited it earlier should be vigilant. PhishDestroy strongly recommends that anyone who connected a wallet or entered credentials on airdrops.fans immediately revoke permissions and transfer assets to a new wallet. Always verify the legitimacy of airdrop sites through official channels before interacting. For ongoing protection, users should rely on blocklist updates and security tools that flag such domains. PhishDestroy continues to monitor this domain and similar threats to provide timely warnings to the crypto community.

## 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.
