# PhishDestroy threat dossier — elio-drops.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-24 11:35:39 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/elio-drops.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: coinbase (and: coinbase wallet, ledger) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 31.170.161.62 (US, Asheville) ASN: ASAS47583 AS-HOSTINGER Hostinger International Limited, CY Hosting org: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: $RICH Distribution HTTP response: 429 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: R10 Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:23:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-23 04:20:10 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 04:20:10 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0198c168-be3b-77ea-8c6f-e6a44a8c1edf/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/elio-drops.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.elio-drops.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=elio-drops.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/elio-drops.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/elio-drops.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 16:31:34 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-drops.xyz as a phishing domain that posed a low-level risk to users. Phishing sites like this attempt to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information such as login credentials or personal details by masquerading as legitimate services. Even domains with low threat levels can still compromise user security if interacted with. This particular phishing domain was registered recently and appeared on multiple security blocklists before being taken offline. The phishing tactic typically involves mimicking trusted brands or platforms to lure visitors into submitting confidential data. Though flagged by only a few security vendors on VirusTotal, its presence on blocklists indicates attempts to deceive users were detected by the cybersecurity community. Users who have visited elio-drops.xyz should remain vigilant for potential phishing attempts or unusual account activity. It is recommended to change passwords associated with any accounts that might have been exposed and enable multi-factor authentication wherever possible. Monitoring financial statements and running updated antivirus scans can help detect if any malicious software was installed. Staying informed and cautious is key to avoiding harm from phishing schemes such as those carried out by this 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-drops.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=elio-drops.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.
