## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      172.67.221.118 (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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-28 14:35:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, earndrops.xyz, poses a specific threat of being a crypto drainer, targeting unsuspecting users to acquire their cryptocurrencies through deceptive practices. The page title 'PepeVault — Crypto Rewards Hub' suggests a legitimate service, but users may unknowingly compromise their digital assets by engaging with this site.

Evidence supporting the elevated risk associated with this domain includes its creation date of June 12, 2026, and its registration through NameSilo, LLC. Furthermore, earndrops.xyz appears on two security blocklists, indicating that it has been flagged for malicious activity by monitoring entities. A review of threat intelligence from VirusTotal reveals that 9 out of 95 security vendors have raised flags against this domain, heightening concerns about its legitimacy and operational integrity.

Users who have visited earndrops.xyz are advised to take immediate precautions. It is recommended to change any passwords used and to monitor cryptocurrency accounts for unusual activity. Additionally, users should run comprehensive antivirus and anti-malware scans on their devices to ensure no malicious software was inadvertently downloaded. Staying informed and vigilant against potential threats will help mitigate risks associated with engaging with suspicious domains.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260628-D4B2B9

## 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.
