## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRITICAL THREAT — DO NOT VISIT
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Impersonation
Targeted brand: Drift

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      2/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Kaspersky
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto)
ASN:             AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Hosting org:     CloudFlare, Inc.
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

drifts.trade Safety Check — Drift Brand Impersonation Phishing

This domain, drifts.trade, is actively impersonating the Drift brand as part of a high-risk phishing campaign. Registered on July 15, 2026, through NameSilo, LLC, the domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and presents a page titled 'DFX Claim,' which may indicate a fraudulent token or asset claim scheme targeting users of the Drift platform. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a common tactic to lend legitimacy to malicious sites. As of July 18, 2026, the domain appears on two security blocklists and is flagged by 2 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting limited but confirmed detection. It is currently blocked by MetaMask and SEAL, further supporting its classification as malicious. Defenders should treat this domain as hostile infrastructure and prioritize blocking it at the DNS, proxy, and endpoint levels. The exact content and functionality of the site remain unanalyzed, but the combination of brand impersonation, recent registration, and blocklist presence justifies immediate containment. No additional infrastructure or campaign linkages have been confirmed at this time.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       f0784e7961358525a0566c2b89680951
TLS cert SHA-256:      956e365e1e7da423642abfd87caabb82c792a77e033905d814a9bd024e9de905

## 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.
