# PhishDestroy threat dossier — pepe-rewards-airdrop.web3-openhub.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 20:04:36 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pepe-rewards-airdrop.web3-openhub.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 78/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Airdrop Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.218.21 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

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: 2026-05-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-25 10:25:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-27 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-26 00:02:31 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efde1-4e10-7486-90ab-88bcceb18c2f/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pepe-rewards-airdrop.web3-openhub.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pepe-rewards-airdrop.web3-openhub.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pepe-rewards-airdrop.web3-openhub.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pepe-rewards-airdrop.web3-openhub.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pepe-rewards-airdrop.web3-openhub.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:32:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, pepe-rewards-airdrop.web3-openhub.com, is flagged as an active crypto drainer phishing operation targeting cryptocurrency users. Analysis indicates the infrastructure mimics decentralized finance reward programs, specifically leveraging the Pepe token brand to lure victims into connecting wallets. The threat type aligns with known drainer kits designed to siphon digital assets through malicious smart contract interactions or credential harvesting. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on May 01, 2026, through NameSilo, LLC, and resolves to the IP address 172.67.218.21, hosted on Cloudflare's network (AS13335). As of the latest assessment, the domain has a VirusTotal detection score of 0/95, indicating no antivirus engines have flagged it yet. However, it appears on one security blocklist and is currently blocked by PhishDestroy. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (serial number E8), a common choice for both legitimate and malicious domains. The domain remains active, posing an ongoing risk to users who may encounter it through social engineering campaigns or malvertising. While detection coverage is currently limited, the presence on a security blocklist suggests emerging awareness of the threat. Users are advised to verify domain authenticity before interacting with any cryptocurrency reward offers, particularly those requiring wallet connections. Monitoring for additional blocklist inclusions and detection improvements is recommended to assess the threat's evolution. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 11bf63acc8db1a7b29abc828712d521918c251e4ee91ca3ae5921c043e827e39 ## 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/pepe-rewards-airdrop.web3-openhub.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pepe-rewards-airdrop.web3-openhub.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
