Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] xrpldesktop.app has been flagged as an active phishing domain targeting XRP Ledger users through a fraudulent wallet application. The domain mimics legitimate XRP wallet interfaces to trick users into entering seed phrases or private keys. No known drainer kit or brand impersonation was identified at the time of analysis; however, the threat remains credible due to the domain’s misspelling of 'XRP Ledger' and its app-like presentation. The infrastructure leverages deceptive naming to exploit user trust in cryptocurrency tools. This domain resolves to IP 216.150.1.1 and was registered on March 22, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, which may enhance its credibility to potential victims. VirusTotal currently reports 0/95 detections, indicating it has yet to be widely blacklisted or flagged by security vendors. The domain is not currently blocked by Google Safe Browsing (GSB) and remains absent from major threat intelligence feeds. xrpldesktop.app is classified as an active phishing threat under investigation, with a unique seed identifier of 10ed28. The current risk level is undetermined pending further analysis. Users are advised to avoid this domain and verify wallet URLs through official XRP Ledger channels. No takedown actions have been confirmed; the domain remains operational as of this assessment. Remaining risk includes potential credential theft or fund loss for users who interact with the fraudulent site. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260325-1AE815 Favicon MD5: 1f6967f0b262fee45f7522d04ea3cc66 TLS cert SHA-256: 5590b7bbf53790d5aaabbbdb6f5ea95d42fa72f3517cbca13e76b26e0095d18b ## 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/xrpldesktop.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xrpldesktop.app 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.
