Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an active phishing site specializing in cryptocurrency credential harvesting, specifically targeting XRP wallet users. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to mimic legitimate XRP-related services, likely to deceive victims into disclosing private keys or recovery phrases. The risk level remains under investigation due to the domain's recent deployment and lack of widespread detection. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 172.67.141.53, registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on July 11, 2026. VirusTotal reports 0/95 detections, suggesting the domain has not yet been flagged by major security vendors. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of legitimacy. No blocklist entries or trust score downgrades have been recorded as of this assessment. Mitigation steps specific to this threat type include immediate blocking of the domain and IP at the network perimeter. Security teams should monitor for outbound connections to 172.67.141.53 and alert on any attempts to access flarefoundation-xrp.live. Endpoint protection should be updated to detect phishing pages mimicking XRP wallet interfaces. Users should be educated to verify domain authenticity before entering cryptocurrency credentials, particularly for domains registered within the last 30 days. Network logs should be reviewed for prior connections to this domain to assess potential compromise. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 3 feeds - VirusTotal detections: now 7/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-05CE57 Favicon MD5: dc270172d1648eb90a7ac9e496aaa7ec TLS cert SHA-256: 04efb2b5aa6a40131e2ee662e84edb1891f8c0855ff3d26f5e536bb8c9be66cf ## 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 (operator 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/flarefoundation-xrp.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=flarefoundation-xrp.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
