# PhishDestroy threat dossier — xcrusaders.info ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 23:26:10 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/xcrusaders.info/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 84/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.63.211 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: jaziel.ns.cloudflare.com, liv.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-30 Expires: 2027-06-30 Page title: XCrusaders on XRPL — Allocation Live · Claim Portal ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-28 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 90ffa55831d792365c7f2fc178d9c6d2173f5b6d9f1977cc9f957c7976aa190b ## 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: 2026-06-30 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-03 17:08:58 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-03 15:15:45 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-04 00:02:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f2885-1f97-754a-9507-6baffd395f8b/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/02ec8134-2982-41f8-af83-f7983cd5d52a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/xcrusaders.info crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.xcrusaders.info Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=xcrusaders.info AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/xcrusaders.info URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/xcrusaders.info/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-03 17:25:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, xcrusaders.info, is flagged as a high-risk generic phishing threat actively targeting users of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) ecosystem. Analysis of the page title, 'XCrusaders on XRPL — Allocation Live · Claim Portal,' indicates an intent to deceive victims into believing they are interacting with a legitimate token allocation or airdrop claim portal. Such schemes typically aim to harvest sensitive credentials, private keys, or seed phrases under the guise of distributing cryptocurrency allocations, posing a direct financial risk to users. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators of malicious activity. The domain was registered on June 30, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It currently resolves to the IP address 104.21.63.211, which is part of a network range known for hosting phishing and scam content. Detection rates remain critically low, with only 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain on VirusTotal, suggesting limited visibility in threat intelligence feeds. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which, while providing encryption, does not validate the legitimacy of the site’s content or operators. No blocklist entries or trust scores from major threat intelligence platforms were identified at the time of analysis, further indicating a lack of widespread detection. Mitigation against this threat requires a multi-layered approach tailored to cryptocurrency phishing. Users should verify the authenticity of any claim portal by cross-referencing official announcements from the XRPL Foundation or associated project teams through verified communication channels. Browser-based security extensions that detect phishing sites should be enabled, and users must refrain from entering private keys, seed phrases, or wallet credentials on any unverified platform. Network-level protections, such as DNS filtering or firewall rules blocking known malicious IPs (e.g., 104.21.63.211), can provide additional safeguards. Organizations handling cryptocurrency transactions should implement strict allowlisting policies for domains and enforce multi-factor authentication for all sensitive operations. Given the domain’s recent registration and low detection rate, continuous monitoring of related infrastructure is recommended to preempt further exploitation.

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/xcrusaders.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xcrusaders.info 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.
