# PhishDestroy threat dossier — droprewards.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 14:55:44 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/droprewards.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: fake_airdrop ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/92 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.61.231 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: kaiser.ns.cloudflare.com, vida.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-05 Expires: 2027-05-05 Page title: $DROP Reward Allocation — Claim Your Tokens on XRPL ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-03 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: ed33c6163789ed7928e4dcf478c35dbf9c7039f4c55f88e2803353f2dee6a2b9 ## 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: 2026-05-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-13 06:37:59 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-13 03:38:49 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 16:47:22 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:31:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e1f68-cd26-70ec-b108-c2d1675d99d6/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/7464366b-edd0-462f-a016-ff5063b47e78 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/droprewards.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.droprewards.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=droprewards.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/droprewards.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/droprewards.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-13 06:38:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies droprewards.live as an active crypto-draining phishing site masquerading as a rewards program portal. The domain is engineered to trick cryptocurrency users into connecting their wallets, after which malicious JavaScript silently drains tokens to attacker-controlled addresses. This is not a generic phishing lure but a specialized fake-rewards scheme designed to harvest digital assets under the guise of “earn crypto” promises. Domain intelligence confirms droprewards.live was registered on May 05, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to IP 104.21.61.231 behind a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. VirusTotal analysis shows 1 out of 95 security vendors currently flagging the domain, indicating limited early detection. The freshly minted domain age and low blocklist coverage increase the risk of successful victim engagement, especially among users seeking quick rewards. If you visited or connected a wallet to droprewards.live, immediately revoke all token and NFT approvals using tools like Revoke.cash or Rabby’s approval manager. Disconnect the site from your wallet, clear browser cache and storage, and scan devices with updated antivirus software. Report the domain to PhishDestroy for takedown and consider rotating wallet addresses used on the page. Early action minimizes loss from silent token transfers. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260513-7A9548 Favicon MD5: ded6f67d8aafc765edfcdc35bfbb8579 TLS cert SHA-256: ed33c6163789ed7928e4dcf478c35dbf9c7039f4c55f88e2803353f2dee6a2b9 ## 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/droprewards.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=droprewards.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.
