Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies kelpairdrop.online as an active domain involved in brand impersonation targeting the Kelp cryptocurrency project. The domain advertises a "Kelp Airdrop - Claim Your Free Tokens" page promising free tokens to lure visitors. Although currently assessed as a low-risk threat, the domain’s impersonation tactics can lead to potential exposure to scams or unauthorized data collection. This phishing domain operates by imitating the legitimate Kelp brand to gain users’ trust. Users are enticed by the promise of free token airdrops, a common lure in the crypto space. Once visitors engage with the site, they might be requested to provide sensitive information or wallet credentials, which can then be exploited for fraudulent purposes. Despite only one security vendor flagging the domain and it appearing on a single blocklist, its behavior warrants caution. If you have visited kelpairdrop.online, it is advisable to avoid entering any personal or financial information. Users should immediately scan their devices for malware and monitor their crypto wallets for unauthorized activity. Reporting the domain to your security provider and staying informed about legitimate Kelp communications will help protect against evolving phishing threats. PhishDestroy recommends always verifying official project announcements via trusted channels before participating in any airdrop offers. ## 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/kelpairdrop.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kelpairdrop.online 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.
