# PhishDestroy threat dossier — hbar.airdropsalert.sbs ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-31 11:40:32 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hbar.airdropsalert.sbs/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: airdrop_scam Targeted brand: binance (and: bitget, coinbase, coinbase wallet, ethereum, instagram) Wallet drainer: Angel Drainer ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 13/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Kaspersky, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot URLQuery: 100 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Dynadot LLC Nameservers: brenna.ns.cloudflare.com, hassan.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2025-10-01 Expires: 2026-10-01 Page title: hbar Airdrop | Airdrop Alert ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none 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: 2025-10-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-11-13 17:13:02 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-31 13:20:39 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-23 03:15:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019a7e34-0dcc-7429-a3d5-54713c1d978a/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/hbar.airdropsalert.sbs crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.hbar.airdropsalert.sbs Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=hbar.airdropsalert.sbs AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/hbar.airdropsalert.sbs URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/hbar.airdropsalert.sbs/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 02:51:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies hbar.airdropsalert.sbs as a high-risk crypto drainer domain targeting generic cryptocurrency users. The site falsely advertises an 'hbar Airdrop' to lure victims into compromising their wallets, leveraging the popular airdrop scam tactic. Technical analysis reveals that the domain was registered on October 1, 2025, through Dynadot LLC and employs the Angel Drainer toolkit known for exfiltrating crypto assets. It resolves to a suspicious IP address (198.18.1.135) and is listed on one security blocklist. VirusTotal flagged it with detection from 13 out of 95 security vendors, confirming its malicious nature. Currently, hbar.airdropsalert.sbs is offline and no longer accessible, mitigating further risk. Users and security teams should remain vigilant against similar crypto impersonation scams and avoid interacting with suspicious airdrop offers to prevent wallet compromise. ## 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/hbar.airdropsalert.sbs/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hbar.airdropsalert.sbs 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.
