## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
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.

rippleexchange.help Fake Crypto Exchange Alert

This domain, rippleexchange.help, was registered through Porkbun LLC and is classified as a fake cryptocurrency exchange, a threat type explicitly targeting users of digital asset trading platforms. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolved to IP address 207.207.210.229, hosted by NetCarrier, Inc. in the United States, with nameservers under porkbun.com. The domain was assigned a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (YR2) and returned an HTTP 200 status, though the page title 'porkbun.com | domain for sale' suggests the site may have been inactive or repurposed at the time of detection. Three security vendors flagged the domain on VirusTotal, and it appears on three independent blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, indicating elevated risk. The domain is currently offline, but defenders should treat any future resolution or reactivation as a potential threat. Given the scam type and blocklist presence, organizations should monitor for related domains registered through the same registrar or resolving to the same IP range, particularly those targeting cryptocurrency users. No evidence of a specific phishing kit or further brand impersonation is present in the available data, and the exact content of the site remains unanalyzed.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      23fbb098a23de380cc9a8fb12c01cc57e4e77d33d464010b2342bbb620524673

## 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.
