Analysis of the domain deadguy.finance indicates a high-risk crypto drainer phishing campaign targeting users of the financial services brand Revolut. Registered through Cloudflare, Inc., the domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which is associated with AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.) and geolocated in the United States. The domain's nameservers, amy.ns.cloudflare.com and kai.ns.cloudflare.com, further confirm its Cloudflare-hosted infrastructure. No SSL certificate was detected, increasing the likelihood of interception or manipulation of user data. The domain was flagged by four of ninety-five security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting moderate detection but not universal recognition as malicious.
It appears on a single security blocklist, as recorded by PhishDestroy, which has since taken the domain offline. The page title, 'Just a dead guy | Airdrop,' aligns with the identified scam type: a fake airdrop designed to deploy a Solana drainer kit. This kit is known to exfiltrate cryptocurrency assets from victims' wallets under the guise of a legitimate token distribution. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was operational as of the report date (July 24, 2026) but is currently offline, likely due to takedown efforts. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0/100, reinforcing its classification as malicious.
The absence of additional detection details from platforms such as Google Safe Browsing or AlienVault OTX limits further contextualization of its reach or persistence. Defenders should prioritize blocking the domain and its associated IP (188.114.97.3) at the network level. Security teams are advised to monitor for related domains registered under the same registrar or resolving to identical infrastructure, particularly those leveraging Cloudflare's services. Given the domain's association with a Solana drainer kit, organizations handling cryptocurrency transactions should alert users to the risks of interacting with unsolicited airdrop promotions.

For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
This timeline displays historical security and status checkpoints observed by the PhishDestroy automated monitoring network. It records domain lifecycle updates, scanner changes, and threat telemetry over time.
11 recorded events. These records describe collected evidence, outgoing notifications and publication; they do not confirm a complete investigation or a takedown.

How do crypto scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
