## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:21:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies claimairdrop.io as a medium-risk crypto drainer exploiting the popular BONK Airdrop theme to deceive users into compromising their digital wallets. The domain aims to unlawfully extract cryptocurrency from victims under the guise of a legitimate airdrop.

Technical analysis reveals claimairdrop.io resolves to IP 198.18.12.213, was registered on 2025-06-20 via DYNADOT LLC, and is flagged on AlienVault OTX and one security blocklist. VirusTotal detection includes 8 out of 95 security engines, confirming its malicious nature.

This threat remains active and users are strongly advised to avoid visiting or interacting with claimairdrop.io. Immediate caution and wallet security measures should be employed to mitigate potential losses.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       4fad706028ee67e662157dec183e6a16e7b3feb59b4a9b06b032b61b34c4e655
TLS cert SHA-256:      7d1e41cbaf52b02e485b66dc9e6e15610a00473901afdfd520a72f1f566d16d1

## 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.
