No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-12 13:33:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-12 22:04:06 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 08:20:41 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f561a-3233-7562-bce1-6ee610f2e44b/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/velvefi.top crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.velvefi.top Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=velvefi.top AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/velvefi.top URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/velvefi.top/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-12 17:19:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] velvefi.top is currently classified as a high‑risk brand‑impersonation site that mimics an airdrop promotion. The page title observed at the host reads “Velvet Airdrop · Claim 25M Gems · USA 250th Competition”, which aligns with the declared scam type “Airdrop Scam”. The domain was created on July 02 2026 and is actively serving HTTP 200 responses, indicating an operational phishing infrastructure. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is delegated to the Cloudflare nameservers agustin.ns.cloudflare.com and zoe.ns.cloudflare.com. DNS resolution points to IP address 188.114.97.3, an address owned by Cloudflare, Inc. in Canada. The TLS certificate presented is issued by Google Trust Services under the identifier WE1, and the connection negotiates HSTS, Cloudflare Browser Insights, and HTTP/3, suggesting the use of Cloudflare’s edge security platform to conceal the true origin of the malicious payload. Open‑source intelligence places velvefi.top on two security blocklists, specifically PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer, and it appears in two AlienVault OTX threat‑intel pulses. VirusTotal reports that 2 of 95 scanned security vendors flag the domain as malicious, providing limited but corroborating detection. The site’s content and branding are crafted to lure victims into claiming cryptocurrency‑related rewards, a common vector for credential harvesting and malware distribution. While the available data confirms active hosting, the limited vendor detection on VirusTotal leaves open the possibility of additional, undisclosed malicious behaviors. Defenders should prioritize network‑level blocking of 188.114.97.3 and the domain name itself, enforce strict email filtering for airdrop‑related subject lines, and monitor Cloudflare edge traffic for anomalous requests to the URL path. Continuous telemetry collection from endpoint agents is advised to capture any payloads that may be delivered after the initial page load. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-766D35 Favicon MD5: b188c6585ff22d5440966c61bbe95467 TLS cert SHA-256: a36bfd3f5dd9758a07dfaa1fa0dd32731182d6a31778271b56c3a45843f3ed2b ## 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/velvefi.top/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=velvefi.top 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.
