Registrar: Web Commerce Communications Limited Registered: 2026-02-21 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: REPORTS FILED. Domain eventually taken down after 2 abuse notice(s). Reports filed: 2 independent abuse notifications First report: 2026-02-17 03:45:19 UTC Latest report: 2026-02-21 11:50:24 UTC Days since first notice: 65 (eventually taken down) ICANN Compliance CC'd on at least one escalation — non-response is on record. Methodology: follow-up reports are sent ONLY when a victim re-submitted a re-report via our public form, our monitoring detected the domain resurfacing in SEO/feeds, OR our live-checker confirmed the domain is still technically active and fraudulent. Each report contains: VT verdict, URLScan snapshot, WHOIS, SSL metadata, IP/hosting chain, impersonated-brand evidence, drainer/kit classification, screenshots, and a cryptographic hash of the forensic PDF. ICANN RAA Sec. 3.18 applies. Per-report timeline: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/dropcoin.live/#coordinated-suppression ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:24:56 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-17 03:45:19 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-12 19:50:20 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-02 22:08:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0199b161-12cb-7194-be42-3174d696b304/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/dropcoin.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.dropcoin.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=dropcoin.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/dropcoin.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/dropcoin.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:40:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies dropcoin.live as a low-risk generic phishing domain primarily targeting cryptocurrency users. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through Web Commerce Communications Limited and has been flagged for phishing activity based on its behavior and blocklist appearances. Technically, dropcoin.live resolved to the IP address 172.67.172.91 and appeared on three security blocklists. VirusTotal analysis shows a single detection out of 95 security vendors, indicating limited but notable suspicion. The domain infrastructure aligns with common phishing setups aiming to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. Currently, dropcoin.live is offline and no longer operational, reducing immediate risk. PhishDestroy recommends continued vigilance as such domains may reappear or spawn similar variants. Users should avoid interacting with this domain and report suspicious crypto-related websites to maintain security. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-1771299911-dropcoin.live ## 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/dropcoin.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dropcoin.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
