No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-10 12:11:34 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-10 16:20:37 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4b81-c7f4-7499-893b-9bc9f5d8aecb/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/xrpl-events.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.xrpl-events.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=xrpl-events.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/xrpl-events.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/xrpl-events.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-10 12:16:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain xrpl-events.live is currently flagged as a high-risk phishing site targeting users of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) ecosystem. Analysis indicates this domain is designed to impersonate official XRPL event pages, likely to harvest credentials, private keys, or distribute malicious payloads. The domain remains active and continues to resolve to operational infrastructure. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on July 6, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with fraudulent domains. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and is flagged by 3 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The domain appears on two security blocklists and holds a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, indicating no legitimate reputation. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which, while valid, does not mitigate the malicious intent of the domain. As of the latest verification, xrpl-events.live remains active and should be considered unsafe. Network administrators are advised to block the domain and its resolving IP at the perimeter. Users are strongly cautioned against visiting the site or entering any sensitive information. Organizations should monitor for connections to 188.114.96.3 and review logs for potential compromise indicators. If interaction with this domain has occurred, immediate credential rotation and system scans are recommended. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: ce7ffb14c41b18af24eef023a793fcea TLS cert SHA-256: 99bf5b2083251a04ee43f07533b3221f857a02bbeb4b29b00412dc2c4f90d228 ## 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-events.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xrpl-events.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.
