# PhishDestroy threat dossier — xrpusa.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-15 11:12:46 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/xrpusa.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 98/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.150.65 (US, San Francisco) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: aurora.ns.cloudflare.com, clyde.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-05 Expires: 2027-07-05 Page title: xrpusa.net HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-10-03 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: caf4edaa11d69da956912f8fbef8b0980730168e578874dedc787511bb9083b2 ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 20:40:01 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-15 12:20:44 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-09 00:17:16 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4305-cdf2-7054-8ccd-275ff80ff10e/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/xrpusa.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.xrpusa.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=xrpusa.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/xrpusa.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/xrpusa.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 20:44:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk generic_phishing threat specifically designed to mimic legitimate XRP cryptocurrency wallet services. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is actively harvesting credentials and private keys from unsuspecting users attempting to access or store Ripple-based assets. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain xrpusa.net was registered on July 05, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, an offshore registrar frequently associated with malicious domains. It currently resolves to IP address 172.67.150.65 and is detected by 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The domain appears on one security blocklist and remains active despite minimal detection coverage. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of legitimacy to potential victims. Organizations and individuals should implement immediate mitigation measures against this generic_phishing threat. Block the domain xrpusa.net and its resolving IP 172.67.150.65 at firewall and DNS levels. Cryptocurrency users should verify wallet addresses through official channels only and never enter recovery phrases or private keys on unfamiliar websites. Security teams should monitor for connections to this infrastructure and educate users about the risks of cryptocurrency-themed phishing attempts, particularly those mimicking popular asset names like XRP. The creation date discrepancy (2026) suggests either a typo-squatting attempt or intentional misconfiguration to evade detection. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 5d6410fdd834d04b07b3ecfc5b07b2fe TLS cert SHA-256: caf4edaa11d69da956912f8fbef8b0980730168e578874dedc787511bb9083b2 ## 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/xrpusa.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xrpusa.net 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.
