Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] High-Risk Phishing Site: ring-protocol.xyz As of July 23, 2026, the domain ring-protocol.xyz is flagged as a high-risk phishing site by PhishDestroy. The domain is currently active and resolves to the IP address 186.2.175.35. It is registered through Spaceship, Inc., and has been operational since its creation on July 22, 2026. Analysis indicates that while 3 out of 91 security vendors have flagged this domain, it appears on one known security blocklist. The nameservers in use are launch1.spaceship.net and launch2.spaceship.net, suggesting a potentially centralized infrastructure for managing this domain. The exact content and nature of the site have not yet been fully analyzed, but the high-risk status and active state warrant immediate attention. Defenders should block access to this domain and monitor network traffic for any suspicious activity related to 186.2.175.35. Further investigation into the domain's content and associated infrastructure is recommended to identify specific targets and methods used by the attackers. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260723-ABBDC9 Favicon MD5: 2d34e1f278f5a55bf72e621ef69ac9e9 TLS cert SHA-256: c03e2eed693b71f7f915fd710f46314ae2459fc4370a41b4a344a5b90781d217 ## 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 (operator 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/ring-protocol.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ring-protocol.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
