## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:46:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies xrp-price.us as a medium-risk brand impersonation domain targeting the XRP cryptocurrency brand. This domain attempts to deceive users by mimicking XRP-related content to potentially steal sensitive information or mislead investors.

The domain xrp-price.us was registered on February 21, 2026, through Devexpanse Ltd and resolves to the IP address 62.60.179.17. VirusTotal analysis shows that 3 out of 95 security vendors flagged this domain, and it appears on one security blocklist. The page title observed was "xrp-price.us | 522: Connection timed out," indicating server timeout issues. Such infrastructure and detection patterns support its suspicious nature and potential use in phishing campaigns.

Currently, xrp-price.us is offline, reducing immediate risk. Users are advised to remain vigilant and avoid interacting with this domain or sharing any credentials. Security teams should continue monitoring for similar domains impersonating XRP or other cryptocurrency brands. Updating blocklists and educating users on brand impersonation threats remains crucial to mitigate risks associated with such phishing attempts.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      bc3672910830285950fd033aae78b17c6bcaf26bed62747cb792f7618c86b45f

## 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.
