TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 63/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE

VirusTotal:      3/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE

!!! 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:

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Let's Encrypt / E7
Expires:    2026-07-30
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: fc2578913988ad7fb2a31f3b2e4b04452c1fc05cec3bdfd029912b35d6766b2a

## 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: 2026-06-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-17 16:30:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-06-21 04:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-17 18:33:29 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:34:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies xrpl-api.com as a crypto drainer site, specifically designed to deceive users into divulging sensitive information or installing malicious software, ultimately leading to financial loss. 

 The domain was created on June 17, 2026, and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, with an IP address of 188.114.97.3, and secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, however, it has been flagged by 3 security blocklists and 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a significant threat. 

 Users who may have visited xrpl-api.com should immediately monitor their accounts for any suspicious activity, and consider taking steps to secure their credentials, such as changing passwords and enabling two-factor authentication, as the site's elevated risk level and offline status do not necessarily mean the threat has passed, and it is crucial to remain vigilant to avoid potential harm, using the unique seed 37f0fe to guide their actions.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      fc2578913988ad7fb2a31f3b2e4b04452c1fc05cec3bdfd029912b35d6766b2a

## 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.
