The domain pippins.exchange was observed hosting a crypto‑draining operation that masquerades as an airdrop. The site was created on 18 December 2025 and is currently taken offline, returning HTTP 403 for all requests. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain resolves to 104.21.66.3, an IP owned by Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335) and located in the United States. The domain is served through Cloudflare’s edge network, employing HSTS, HTTP/3, and Cloudflare Browser Insights, and presents a TLS certificate issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 profile.

Nameservers are dina.ns.cloudflare.com and finley.ns.cloudflare.com, and registration was performed via NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. VirusTotal scans flagged the domain in three of ninety‑five antivirus engines, and the site is listed on two external blocklists, including PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer. The page title returned by the server is “Pippin l Official Airdrop”, matching the documented scam type of a fake airdrop that uses the Angel Drainer kit to exfiltrate cryptocurrency. The combination of a short domain lifespan, Cloudflare‑based hosting, and a modest detection rate suggests a low‑profile campaign that relies on rapid turnover to avoid prolonged exposure.

Uncertainty remains regarding the exact victim targeting, the monetary loss incurred, and whether additional infrastructure (e.g., command‑and‑control servers) is associated with the Angel Drainer kit. Defenders should block the domain and its resolving IP at perimeter firewalls, add the associated nameservers to DNS‑based deny lists, and monitor for any traffic to Cloudflare edge nodes that reference the same TLS certificate fingerprint. Continuous threat‑intel feeds should be consulted for any emergence of new indicators tied to the Angel Drainer kit, and incident response teams should treat any related cryptocurrency transaction alerts as potentially compromised.

For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.

RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Recommendations & Advice for Victims

An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with pippins.exchange — act now.

What should I do immediately?
Urgent
  • Revoke token approvals — use revoke.cash to remove access granted to malicious smart contracts
  • Move remaining funds to a brand-new wallet. The compromised wallet is no longer safe
  • Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
  • Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
  • Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines

According to the FBI, the most important details are transaction data:

  • Cryptocurrency addresses — scammer's wallet (e.g., 0x5856...35985)
  • Amount & crypto type — exact amount (e.g., 1.02345 ETH, 0.5 BTC, 500 USDT)
  • Transaction ID (hash) — the unique blockchain transaction identifier
  • Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
  • Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
  • All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including pippins.exchange)
  • Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used

Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.

Where should I report the scam?
  • FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
  • Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
  • Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
  • Your crypto exchange — notify its fraud team immediately; it may be able to preserve records or restrict funds held on its platform
  • Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately

A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.

How do crypto scams typically work?
  • Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
  • Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
  • Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
  • Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
  • Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
  • AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
  • Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
  • Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
  • Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
  • Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
  • "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
