No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (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) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-21 18:35:41 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:28:21 UTC (STALE — 38 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-02-27 16:15:48 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 38 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 38 days stale) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c8173-7f05-735b-bee0-1a2fa883b699/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/0532741e-ac68-4cb3-8500-1f34e364904e Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/refund-sol.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.refund-sol.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=refund-sol.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/refund-sol.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/refund-sol.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 16:00:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies refund-sol.xyz as a medium-risk generic phishing domain masquerading as a service to recover funds from Solana token accounts. The site’s page title, "Get Your SOL Back Instantly | Recover Rent from Solana Token Accounts," suggests an attempt to deceive users into divulging sensitive information under the guise of cryptocurrency refund services. Technically, refund-sol.xyz resolved to IP address 104.21.15.175 and was registered on February 21, 2026, using NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The domain appeared on four separate security blocklists and was flagged by multiple security vendors, indicating a consensus on its malicious intent. These indicators highlight a coordinated effort to exploit the growing interest in Solana crypto assets. Currently, refund-sol.xyz is offline, reducing immediate risk to potential victims. However, users are advised to remain cautious of similar domains and avoid providing personal or financial information to unsolicited websites claiming to offer cryptocurrency refunds. Continuous monitoring and blocking of this domain are recommended to prevent resurgence or related phishing campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260221-C3C103 ## 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/refund-sol.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=refund-sol.xyz 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.
