Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] xrpl-distribute.live — Phishing Campaign The domain xrpl-distribute.live was registered on July 22, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is currently resolvable to the IP address 172.67.183.156, which is served by Cloudflare nameservers carmelo.ns.cloudflare.com and connie.ns.cloudflare.com. The domain is active as of the report date (July 26, 2026) and has been observed on a single security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy. A VirusTotal scan performed by 91 independent scanning engines returned no positive detections; however, the absence of detections does not constitute evidence of legitimacy and the domain remains classified as a generic phishing site based on available intelligence. The limited visibility of the site—no publicly disclosed page title, brand target, or detailed content analysis—means that the exact phishing vector, lure, or credential collection mechanism cannot be confirmed at this time. Infrastructure analysis indicates that the use of Cloudflare’s edge network provides the attacker with basic anonymity and resilience, while the recent registration date suggests a short-lived campaign intended to exploit timely interest in XRP‑related services. Defenders should prioritize blocking the domain at the DNS and proxy layers, monitor outbound connections to the associated IP address, and include the domain in existing phishing detection rules. Continuous re‑evaluation is recommended, as future scans may yield detections or additional intelligence that could refine the threat profile and inform incident response actions. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260726-4A8761 TLS cert SHA-256: cfefbd6e367f7ea40e80084eab6ad26e4d50199e8d56ec5c9bc503f3c8eb5b0d ## 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/xrpl-distribute.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xrpl-distribute.live 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.
