# PhishDestroy threat dossier — get-xrplfoundation.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 16:32:58 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/get-xrplfoundation.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 13/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, Ermes, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Netcraft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.148.24 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 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.

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: 2026-06-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-03 17:40:30 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-03 17:40:24 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 16:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 00:11:38 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e8deb-d61c-7752-bd70-4aace5d51aa6/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/get-xrplfoundation.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.get-xrplfoundation.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=get-xrplfoundation.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/get-xrplfoundation.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/get-xrplfoundation.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 02:19:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, get-xrplfoundation.com, is flagged as a high-risk cryptocurrency phishing site targeting users of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) Foundation. Analysis indicates the domain is designed to impersonate the legitimate XRPL Foundation, likely to harvest credentials or private keys through a cryptocurrency drainer kit. The page title explicitly mimics the official branding, increasing the likelihood of successful social engineering attacks against XRP holders. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 03, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.148.24 and employs Cloudflare services, including HSTS and HTTP/3, to obfuscate its origin and enhance perceived legitimacy. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, further blending with legitimate infrastructure. VirusTotal reports 13 out of 95 security vendors flagging this domain as malicious, and it appears on three independent security blocklists. Current detection status indicates active blocking by cryptocurrency wallet extensions and anti-phishing tools. As of the latest assessment, the domain remains active and unresolved in Google Safe Browsing (GSB) databases. The high-risk classification is upheld due to the domain's persistent operational status and its association with cryptocurrency theft infrastructure. Users are advised to treat any interaction with this domain as malicious and to verify XRPL Foundation communications exclusively through official channels. Organizations should update web filters and endpoint protection rules to block both the domain and its resolving IP address to mitigate exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f274b5d4aafd8f15f92787cdb8b17e52 TLS cert SHA-256: ad19e9c2d3c6d7302fe325a1060b40888d74da2c7dfa74b1ebe5908cd8c89905 ## 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/get-xrplfoundation.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=get-xrplfoundation.com 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.
