Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] xrpl-hub.live — Credential Harvesting Phishing xrpl-hub.live was registered on July 17 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The domain is hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure, using the authoritative name servers angela.ns.cloudflare.com and patryk.ns.cloudflare.com, and resolves to the IPv4 address 188.114.96.3. Within three days of registration the domain was added to a security blocklist and is currently blocked by the PhishDestroy feed. VirusTotal has recorded a single positive detection out of 95 scanned engines, indicating that at least one security product has identified malicious behaviour associated with the domain. The same feed also reports the domain as a generic phishing site, though no further content analysis has been published. The rapid appearance on a blocklist, the presence of a Cloudflare front‑end, and the single VirusTotal flag suggest a short‑lived phishing campaign that leverages the reputation of the XRP Ledger (as implied by the “xrpl” prefix) to lure victims. No SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, page title, or additional payload indicators have been disclosed, leaving the exact phishing vector and targeted brand uncertain. The limited detection footprint may reflect a low‑volume operation or early‑stage deployment that has not yet been widely scanned. Defenders should add 188.114.96.3 to network‑level deny lists, monitor DNS queries for xrpl-hub.live, and enforce outbound filtering for any HTTP(S) requests to this domain. Email security gateways should be updated to block messages containing URLs that resolve to this host, and endpoint protection should be configured to flag the single VirusTotal positive detection. Continuous re‑scanning of the domain on VirusTotal and similar services is advised to capture any escalation in detection counts. Organizations that handle cryptocurrency assets or communications referencing the XRP Ledger should treat this domain as high‑risk and apply strict user awareness controls. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260720-06669F TLS cert SHA-256: d0218d365874bb9624d847c637d044c2c1c5794f53f1eaed002aa8f3b88a8a04 ## 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-hub.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xrpl-hub.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.
