Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain xrpl-rewards.live was registered on July 10, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is currently resolved to the IP address 188.114.96.3. Its authoritative name servers are ada.ns.cloudflare.com and will.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating the use of Cloudflare's DNS infrastructure. An HTTP request to the host returns a 403 status code, suggesting that the web server is configured to deny direct access, a behavior often observed with malicious landing pages that rely on client‑side redirection. VirusTotal analysis shows that three of ninety‑one scanning engines have flagged the domain, providing additional corroboration of its malicious nature. The domain is listed as active with a high risk rating and is classified as a generic phishing site. Defensive teams should add xrpl-rewards.live to URL filtering and DNS blocklists, monitor for any resolution changes, and consider sinkholing the underlying IP address if feasible. Continuous observation of associated Cloudflare name servers is advised, as they may be leveraged for rapid re‑hosting of malicious content. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260714-59BFE7 Favicon MD5: ce7ffb14c41b18af24eef023a793fcea TLS cert SHA-256: a8a98e480691d1a1d313a9f9d9c59438700827a51e4ec44c60682a8e767ca326 ## 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-rewards.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xrpl-rewards.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.
