Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] distribute-xrpl.live — Generic Phishing Investigation Report The domain distribute-xrpl.live was registered on July 22, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and remains active as of the report date, July 26, 2026. DNS resolution points exclusively to the IP address 104.21.79.163, which is served by Cloudflare and is referenced by the authoritative nameservers gigi.ns.cloudflare.com and hugh.ns.cloudflare.com. The domain has been observed on three independent security blocklists and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, indicating that multiple anti‑phishing services have identified it as malicious. VirusTotal analysis shows that four of ninety‑one security vendors have flagged the domain, providing additional corroboration of its suspicious nature. No further public intelligence—such as SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, page title, or content signatures—has been released, leaving the exact payload or lure employed by the site undocumented. Nevertheless, the convergence of recent creation, dedicated Cloudflare infrastructure, multiple blocklist listings, and vendor detections establishes a high confidence that distribute-xrpl.live is being used for generic phishing campaigns. Defenders should prioritize immediate remediation by adding the domain and its resolved IP address to outbound deny lists, updating intrusion detection signatures to capture DNS queries to the associated nameservers, and monitoring for any lateral traffic that may reference the same Cloudflare edge IP. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as additional heuristic or behavioral data may emerge, clarifying the specific phishing vectors employed by this infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260726-50C9E3 TLS cert SHA-256: d6a35c32e0a0df05f11b747d0604a4ba9302a3c2aa143755a8c34e954f241437 ## 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 (operator 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/distribute-xrpl.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=distribute-xrpl.live 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
