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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:22:00 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-22 12:23:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 07:47:18 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0198b709-76f7-73ec-93fa-6b12a5f6e016/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/elio-drop.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.elio-drop.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=elio-drop.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/elio-drop.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/elio-drop.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:34:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies elio-drop.xyz as an active domain engaged in generic phishing activities, posing a medium-level risk to users. The website’s title, "$RICH Distribution," suggests attempts to lure victims with fraudulent financial incentives. Given its phishing nature, visitors could be targeted to disclose sensitive credentials or personal information. The domain elio-drop.xyz was registered recently on February 21, 2026, and currently resolves to an IPv6 address (2a02:4780:1:466:0:1d46:3405:9). It appears on four distinct security blocklists, indicating prior reports or detections by security communities. VirusTotal scans reveal that 3 out of 95 security engines flagged this domain, confirming some consensus on its suspicious behavior while also indicating it may evade detection by many standard tools. As of now, elio-drop.xyz remains active and continues to present a potential threat. Users and organizations are advised to avoid interaction with this site, refrain from submitting any personal data, and implement domain-blocking where possible. Monitoring network traffic for connections to this IP and updating endpoint protection signatures can help mitigate exposure. PhishDestroy recommends vigilance and the use of trusted security solutions to reduce the risk posed by this evolving phishing domain. ## 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/elio-drop.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=elio-drop.xyz 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.
