alrdrop-linea.build impersonates Linea, the Ethereum layer-2 network, and uses a misspelled "airdrop" in its name to look like an official token giveaway. It targets Linea users and anyone hoping to claim free tokens. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-09. As of 2026-10-19 the host still responded, but the phishing content was no longer resolving. The domain remains registered and could be pointed at a new page at any time.
How the scam works
Fake airdrop sites borrow a project's branding and invite visitors to "claim" a token allocation. Claiming means connecting a wallet and approving transactions or signing messages. Those signatures can grant the operator permission to move tokens and NFTs out of the wallet. Some variants also ask for a recovery phrase under the pretext of "verifying" eligibility, which hands over the whole wallet. The swapped letter in "alrdrop" is meant to slip past a quick glance at the address bar.
Evidence
Six of 89 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain when it was checked on 2026-09-23: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft and SOCRadar. That count is modest, so many security tools will not warn on it. Wallet-focused defenses do list it: MetaMask and SEAL block it alongside PhishDestroy. Spamhaus lists the domain in its DBL as phishing, and it appears in four AlienVault OTX threat pulses.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Tucows Domains Inc. on 2025-09-03, about a year before PhishDestroy detected it. That long gap suggests it was held in reserve rather than used straight away. It is hosted on Amazon infrastructure in the US, and its certificate is a domain-validated GoDaddy certificate. Such certificates only prove control of the domain, so the padlock says nothing about who runs the site.
What to do
If you connected a wallet here, review and revoke any token approvals granted around that time using a reputable approval checker, and watch for unexpected outgoing transfers. If you typed in a recovery phrase, treat the wallet as compromised and move all remaining assets to a newly created wallet immediately. Only claim Linea rewards through links published on Linea's official channels, and check the spelling of every claim domain. Defenders should block the domain at DNS and proxy level and include it in wallet-security awareness for staff who hold crypto.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
