mellstroy-game-casino[.]icu

On July 25, 2026 analysts observed that the domain mellstroy-game-casino.icu was taken offline but retains a record of malicious activity. The site was registered on December 25, 2025 through NameSilo, LLC and resolves to IP address 85.121.148.93, which is hosted by AlexHost SRL in Moldova. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt (R13), indicating the use of a free certificate typical of low‑cost malicious operations. The web server identified is Nginx and the page includes hCaptcha, suggesting an attempt to evade automated abuse detection.

The page title returned by the server reads “Mellstroy Casino — Официальное онлайн‑казино от Меллстроя”, a Russian‑language phrase that aligns with the reported Gambler Scam kit. Security telemetry shows the domain appears on one security blocklist and has been flagged by two of ninety‑four vendors on VirusTotal. Independent trust metrics are extremely low, with Gridinsoft scoring 0 / 100 and Scamadviser rating 1 / 100. The infrastructure was also blocked by PhishDestroy.

Although the site is currently offline, the combination of a recent registration, low‑reputation hosting, a free TLS certificate, and detection by multiple security sources indicates an elevated risk that the domain was used to harvest credentials or financial information from victims seeking online casino services. Defenders should continue to monitor the IP address 85.121.148.93 for any resurgence, add the domain to internal blocklists, and watch for related subdomains or duplicate infrastructure that may be re‑used in future campaigns. The limited detection footprint (only two vendor flags) suggests the campaign was either short‑lived or evaded broader detection, underscoring the need for proactive blocking based on the concrete indicators presented.
