# PhishDestroy threat dossier — xeffy-checker.click ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 08:24:20 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/xeffy-checker.click/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- CRITICAL THREAT — DO NOT VISIT Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Airdrop Targeted brand: Airdrop Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 10/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, LevelBlue, SOCRadar, Sophos AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-12 13:40:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-13 02:32:20 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/019f5620-1d31-70d8-9196-c461cadc3498/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/xeffy-checker.click crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.xeffy-checker.click Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=xeffy-checker.click AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/xeffy-checker.click URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/xeffy-checker.click/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-12 17:18:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain xeffy-checker.click has been identified as a high‑risk brand‑impersonation site that masquerades as an airdrop promotion. The page title “XEFFY — Season 1 Airdrop Complete, Check Your Eligibility” is designed to lure cryptocurrency users seeking free token distributions. The site is currently active and returns HTTP 200, indicating a fully operational web service. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain resolves to IP 188.114.96.3, an address owned by Cloudflare, Inc. and geolocated to Canada. The authoritative nameservers are arnold.ns.cloudflare.com and holly.ns.cloudflare.com, both Cloudflare endpoints. The site enforces HSTS, serves through HTTP/3, and includes Cloudflare Browser Insights, confirming the use of Cloudflare’s edge network. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 identifier, providing a valid TLS connection. Threat intelligence sources corroborate the malicious intent. The domain appears on two security blocklists, PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer, and has been referenced in two AlienVault OTX pulses. VirusTotal analysis shows three of ninety‑five scanning engines flag the domain, reinforcing the suspicion despite a modest detection rate. Registration was performed via NameSilo, LLC on July 04 2026, indicating recent creation aligned with the campaign’s launch. Defenders should block the domain at network perimeters and update DNS filtering policies to include its IP address and associated Cloudflare hostnames. Monitoring for traffic to 188.114.96.3 and the specific page title can aid in early detection of victim interaction. Incident response teams should treat any credential or wallet address submissions to this site as compromised and advise affected users to revoke access and change authentication details. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260713-476FF7 Favicon MD5: 5d6410fdd834d04b07b3ecfc5b07b2fe TLS cert SHA-256: cb7eceeacf325b35d0c3a51e31660d1c36d6618e813521d3e0e7ce9a7cfabe87 ## 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/xeffy-checker.click/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xeffy-checker.click 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.
