# PhishDestroy threat dossier — darictoken-rlusd.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-20 20:17:16 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/darictoken-rlusd.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: OKX ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 16/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, ZeroFox Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.4.238 Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["peaches.ns.cloudflare.com", "tate.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-15 Expires: 2027-06-05 Page title: Daric × Ripple — RLUSD Priority Allocation Program ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-03 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 77df18b03cfcb007071c02800ff463eedae874b04e38cc484c750010395b8247 ## 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: 2026-06-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-15 06:20:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-20 20:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-17 18:21:24 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:37:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy analysts have investigated darictoken-rlusd.com, a domain engaged in brand impersonation targeting the cryptocurrency exchange OKX. The site was created on June 15, 2026, and is currently offline, but while active it masqueraded as a legitimate priority allocation program for Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin, leveraging the Daric × Ripple partnership branding. This domain posed a high risk to users who might have been lured into connecting their wallets or providing sensitive credentials under the false promise of early access to RLUSD tokens. Technical examination reveals that the domain resolves to IP address 104.21.4.238 and is secured with an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services (WE1). It was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar often associated with malicious domains. VirusTotal data shows that 16 out of 95 security vendors flagged this domain as malicious, and it appears on 2 security blocklists. Google Safe Browsing has also flagged it for phishing activity. These indicators confirm the domain's intent to deceive users and harvest credentials or funds. Although the domain has been taken offline, the risk remains significant as similar domains may reappear. Users are strongly advised to avoid any unsolicited offers or links related to RLUSD allocation programs, especially those urging immediate action. Always verify the authenticity of such programs by visiting official OKX channels directly. PhishDestroy recommends reporting any suspicious domains to security teams and maintaining robust phishing awareness training to recognize brand impersonation tactics. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 868059b1b63610e4e2517397795ea6a1 TLS cert SHA-256: 77df18b03cfcb007071c02800ff463eedae874b04e38cc484c750010395b8247 ## 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/darictoken-rlusd.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=darictoken-rlusd.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.
