## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-15 20:56:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies xrpl.us.cc as an active generic phishing domain targeting cryptocurrency users by mimicking the legitimate XRPL.im platform. This deceptive site aims to harvest XRP wallet credentials through a fraudulent login interface, posing severe risks to cryptocurrency holders seeking secure access to their assets.  This domain was flagged during routine monitoring with a current risk level under investigation. Key threat indicators include: registration through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., resolution to IP 188.114.96.3, deployment of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, domain creation on April 07, 2006, and zero detections out of 95 VirusTotal scans at the time of assessment. The page title deliberately mirrors the legitimate XRP Ledger Home site to deceive visitors.  Cryptocurrency holders should immediately avoid this domain and similar imitations. For legitimate XRP Ledger access, use only official channels like xrpl.org or xrpl.im directly. Verify website URLs carefully, enable wallet address verification, and consider using hardware wallet verification for all transactions. Report any suspicious activity to your wallet provider and relevant cryptocurrency security organizations.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260415-55D017
Favicon MD5:       8761fcd64a42f589422748b722535000
TLS cert SHA-256:      f86c655058eea882f2e92905822a95cec386b1f0778ee71c685d44b58a4e1e18

## 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.
