Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk phishing threat targeting users of the XRP Ledger ecosystem. Analysis indicates it operates as a fraudulent reward portal, designed to deceive victims into disclosing wallet credentials or transferring digital assets under false pretenses. The specific threat type involves credential harvesting and cryptocurrency theft through social engineering tactics, including fake airdrop or staking reward schemes. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple concrete indicators of malicious activity. The domain resolves to IP address 104.21.41.59 and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, with a creation date of July 06, 2026—an anomalous future timestamp suggesting potential domain spoofing. Security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain at a 3/95 detection rate, while Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0/100. The domain appears on two security blocklists and is actively blocked by wallet protection systems. AlienVault OTX lists it in one threat intelligence pulse, and its SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a common obfuscation tactic. Technologies detected include Cloudflare and HTTP/3, which are frequently leveraged to mask origin servers and bypass traditional security controls. Mitigation requires immediate action from both end users and network administrators. Users should avoid interacting with the domain, particularly any prompts to connect wallets or input seed phrases. Wallet software should be configured to block known phishing domains, and browser extensions that detect fraudulent sites should be enabled. Network-level protections should include DNS filtering to prevent resolution of the domain and its associated IP address. Given the domain's use of Cloudflare, additional scrutiny of HTTP/3 traffic is recommended. Organizations should monitor for connections to 104.21.41.59 and update threat intelligence feeds to include this indicator. If credentials were already exposed, affected wallets must be migrated to new addresses immediately, and all associated transactions should be audited for unauthorized activity. [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: 44168f1c03fc8b26cd3199adabf3d80b02baa16cd3efbbe6c44f17c3774bf1e0 ## 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/xrplrewards.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xrplrewards.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.
