Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC Nameservers: sydney.ns.cloudflare.com, vicente.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-06 Expires: 2027-05-06 Page title: $DROP - Top XRP Meme Coin ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: bc8eb73e43d38ebefc644a5b7d0f7a52c2d662235a7e6374441d58a4f962e0b2 ## 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: 2026-05-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 22:57:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 21:01:20 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 04:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 12:18:56 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efb6b-6bd1-7278-9fbe-53f766b5c713/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/02e22712-f01c-4572-8d8a-cb2ab07cb6db Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/xrpl-drop.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.xrpl-drop.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=xrpl-drop.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/xrpl-drop.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/xrpl-drop.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-24 23:14:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] A technical analysis of the domain xrpl-drop.net indicates it poses a threat as a fraudulent cryptocurrency-related website. The site appears to be a scam targeting users of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) ecosystem, likely attempting to trick visitors into connecting their wallets or providing private keys under the guise of a token drop or airdrop. The primary threat is the potential theft of cryptocurrency assets through credential harvesting or unauthorized transactions. Technical evidence from VirusTotal shows the domain has been flagged by 9 out of 95 security vendors, including alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, and Fortinet. The domain is listed on 3 blocklists. It is registered with Global Domain Group LLC and was created on 2026-05-06. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and uses nameservers sydney.ns.cloudflare.com and vicente.ns.cloudflare.com. The domain status is ACTIVE. As of the analysis date, the domain remains active and accessible, posing an active risk to users. Given the confirmed detections by multiple security vendors and its recent creation date, the risk level is assessed as high. Users should avoid interacting with the site to prevent financial loss. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-FCB157 TLS cert SHA-256: bc8eb73e43d38ebefc644a5b7d0f7a52c2d662235a7e6374441d58a4f962e0b2 ## 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/xrpl-drop.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xrpl-drop.net 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.
