# PhishDestroy threat dossier — axieinfinity.axiedrop.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-25 12:09:38 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/axieinfinity.axiedrop.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 71/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Airdrop Scam Targeted brand: Airdrop Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: SOCRadar ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 192.3.51.248 (US, Santa Clara) ASN: AS36352 HostPapa Hosting org: RackNerd LLC Registrar: Metaregistrar BV Nameservers: ["a5.share-dns.com", "b5.share-dns.net"] Registered: 2026-04-13 Page title: Axie Infinity | AXS Staking Airdrop — AgamoGenesis ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-06-26 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 28e96da461cf7863b763c147660c5f895b047474fd9ab0903ab785ca62e49470 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - axiedrop.com - www.axiedrop.com ## 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: 2026-04-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-13 08:54:40 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-13 05:55:34 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-14 07:40:30 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-21 22:02:36 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d8567-2ef7-7782-8f50-4ebbfbe9a3fb/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/0836a492-fc91-4fbe-b3c6-4c21dd88dedc Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/axieinfinity.axiedrop.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.axieinfinity.axiedrop.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=axieinfinity.axiedrop.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/axieinfinity.axiedrop.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/axieinfinity.axiedrop.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-13 08:55:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies axieinfinity.axiedrop.com as a live phishing domain impersonating the Axie Infinity airdrop. The site leverages the trusted Axie Infinity branding to trick users into connecting crypto wallets or entering seed phrases. With 0/95 VirusTotal detections and no blocklist flags, this threat remains under the radar despite active hosting. The domain was registered on March 27, 2026 through Metaregistrar BV and resolves to IP 192.3.51.248 with a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. This domain was flagged with a 'generic_phishing' threat type and placed under investigation due to its high-risk potential. VirusTotal shows zero detections, indicating it has evaded automated scanners, while the IP (192.3.51.248) and registrar (Metaregistrar BV) provide no immediate red flags. The recent creation date and clean SSL certificate suggest a short-lived campaign designed to exploit trust in Axie Infinity's ecosystem. No trust scores or blocklist entries are currently associated with this domain. Users should avoid interacting with axieinfinity.axiedrop.com or any unsolicited airdrop links promising free Axie Infinity tokens. Verify promotions directly through official Axie Infinity channels (e.g., Twitter, Discord, or the official website). Enable wallet address whitelisting, revoke suspicious token approvals via tools like Etherscan, and report phishing attempts to Axie Infinity’s security team. Monitor transaction histories for unauthorized transfers and use hardware wallets for high-value assets. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260413-880C6B TLS cert SHA-256: 28e96da461cf7863b763c147660c5f895b047474fd9ab0903ab785ca62e49470 ## 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/axieinfinity.axiedrop.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=axieinfinity.axiedrop.com 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.
