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: 2026-05-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-17 16:37:32 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 20:38:42 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-20 20:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-19 00:18:00 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed602-c7de-7219-8836-ad4fa4ebad15/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/79021664-f089-4d9f-8b4a-8df38db299f6 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/xrpcafe-apex.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.xrpcafe-apex.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=xrpcafe-apex.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/xrpcafe-apex.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/xrpcafe-apex.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:34:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies xrpcafe-apex.app as a domain involved in brand impersonation, targeting the reputable Ledger brand, and does not appear to be utilizing a drainer kit. This domain resolves to the IP address 104.21.50.144, was registered through Namecheap Inc., and has a VirusTotal score of 14/95, indicating a significant threat, it was created on May 09, 2026, and is currently listed on 3 security blocklists. The current status of xrpcafe-apex.app is active, with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, and its presence on multiple blocklists underscores the severity of the threat it poses, as it has been flagged by 14 security vendors out of 95 on VirusTotal. Despite these indicators, xrpcafe-apex.app remains active, posing a high risk to users, and it is essential for users to exercise caution when interacting with this domain, as the brand impersonation threat can lead to significant financial losses, and PhishDestroy recommends avoiding any interactions with this domain to mitigate the remaining risk. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-032665 TLS cert SHA-256: 8f2586f5ac96afa7523b3a0f9647c865d15f736e26d9fb364a6744bad614da6b ## 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/xrpcafe-apex.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xrpcafe-apex.app 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.
