Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC Nameservers: ivy.ns.cloudflare.com, nico.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-09 Expires: 2027-05-09 Page title: $DROP - Top XRP Meme Coin ## 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: 2026-05-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 23:01:38 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 21:06:23 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 04:47:16 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 03:04:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efb6e-f1f1-77ed-8982-a9e1488edd98/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/a7db4f33-e541-4de2-ba53-e1464a8fe2b4 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/drop-xrpl.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.drop-xrpl.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=drop-xrpl.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/drop-xrpl.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/drop-xrpl.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 13:38:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an elevated-risk generic phishing site specifically targeting XRP Ledger (XRPL) users. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to mimic legitimate wallet services, tricking victims into disclosing private keys or transferring funds to attacker-controlled addresses. The threat type is classified as credential harvesting and cryptocurrency theft through social engineering tactics. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-confidence indicators. The domain drop-xrpl.net was registered on May 09, 2026, through Global Domain Group LLC, a registrar frequently associated with malicious registrations. It currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which has been linked to other phishing campaigns. VirusTotal detection shows 3 out of 95 security vendors flag the domain as malicious, while it appears on three independent security blocklists. The domain's status is currently offline, suggesting either takedown efforts or temporary suspension by the threat actor. Mitigation steps for users and organizations include immediate blocking of the domain and its associated IP (188.114.97.3) at the network level. Cryptocurrency wallet providers should implement real-time domain reputation checks to prevent users from accessing known phishing sites. End users are advised to verify all XRPL-related domains through official channels and enable multi-factor authentication for wallet access. Security teams should monitor for related infrastructure patterns, including domains registered through Global Domain Group LLC with similar naming conventions, particularly those targeting cryptocurrency services. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-E00DBE ## 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/drop-xrpl.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=drop-xrpl.net 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.
