# PhishDestroy threat dossier — rugsol.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-25 08:00:57 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/rugsol.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Solana ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 9/91 security vendors flagged this domain URLQuery: 5 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 193.233.75.119 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: AS209207 Digital Hosting Provider LLC Hosting org: Digital Hosting Provider LLC Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC Nameservers: adam.ns.cloudflare.com, magnolia.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-02-26 Expires: 2027-02-26 Page title: RugSol - Solana Token Scanner ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-27 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 2c53f599f459cca7536a343f2aa6816caea74f0e39bdfbff1805770f49d67d49 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.rugsol.live ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-29 18:29:35 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-29 15:31:17 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-25 08:20:45 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:33:21 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dd9db-4271-769f-bca0-9a817f50d3a4/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/a5dbe5d8-7eb6-4226-ac18-f6f83b98cb00 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/rugsol.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.rugsol.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=rugsol.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/rugsol.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/rugsol.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 17:10:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The risk level associated with rugsol.live is elevated due to its specific threat type, which is brand impersonation, particularly targeting Solana. This domain was flagged for its malicious intent, posing a significant threat to users who may unwittingly interact with it. PhishDestroy identifies rugsol.live as a domain that resolves to the IP address 193.233.75.119, and it was registered through Global Domain Group LLC, with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt / E8. The domain was created on February 26, 2026, and it appears on 3 security blocklists, further solidifying its malicious reputation. Notably, VirusTotal reports that 9 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain, underscoring the severity of the threat it poses. To mitigate the risks associated with rugsol.live, which impersonates Solana, users are advised to exercise extreme caution when interacting with any website that claims to be associated with Solana, ensuring they are on the genuine Solana website and not a spoofed version like rugsol.live. Users should verify the authenticity of websites on PhishDestroy and be wary of any site that asks for sensitive information or cryptocurrency transactions, as rugsol.live is specifically designed to drain crypto assets by deceiving users into revealing their wallet details or transferring funds to fraudulent addresses. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260429-AFB997 Favicon MD5: d077bc5670bf31008d429202e179cbf1 TLS cert SHA-256: 2c53f599f459cca7536a343f2aa6816caea74f0e39bdfbff1805770f49d67d49 ## 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/rugsol.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rugsol.live 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.
