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: 2026-05-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-02 16:44:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-02 16:44:14 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 13:02:09 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e8892-10d6-7173-9947-1652032b6504/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/7978bet.vip crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.7978bet.vip Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=7978bet.vip AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/7978bet.vip URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/7978bet.vip/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 02:29:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, 7978bet.vip, operates as a phishing site targeting users seeking online casino services. The page title, '7978bet - Make Live Casino Better with PH Bonus Offers,' suggests an attempt to lure victims with fraudulent financial incentives. Analysis indicates the site is designed to harvest login credentials, payment details, or personal information under the guise of a legitimate gambling platform. The threat primarily involves credential theft and potential financial fraud, with secondary risks including malware distribution or further social engineering attacks. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators confirming malicious intent. The domain was registered on May 25, 2026, through Dynadot Inc, an unusual future date suggesting potential registration data manipulation. At the time of detection, 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged 7978bet.vip as malicious, with one security blocklist (PhishDestroy) already listing it. The site resolved to IP address 172.67.194.99 and employed technologies including Cloudflare (for obfuscation), Bootstrap (for page structure), and Let's Encrypt SSL certificates (to appear legitimate). The use of HTTP/3 and HSTS further complicates detection by blending with legitimate traffic patterns. Users who visited 7978bet.vip should take immediate remediation steps. First, terminate all active sessions with the site and clear browser cache/cookies to remove any stored credentials. If login or payment details were entered, reset passwords for all associated accounts, particularly financial services, using strong, unique credentials. Monitor bank statements and credit reports for unauthorized transactions, and consider placing a fraud alert with relevant institutions. Additionally, scan the device used to access the site with updated security tools to detect potential malware infections. Report the domain to local cybersecurity authorities or dedicated phishing reporting platforms to aid in broader takedown efforts. Future vigilance is advised when encountering similar gambling or bonus-related offers, especially from newly registered domains. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: bed65ff5b7a8292edab1cbf159e1e194 TLS cert SHA-256: 2bc06930a8993940288b5a1d434b2836df8ed8972c8e5c1d8043cb0d586068e4 ## 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/7978bet.vip/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=7978bet.vip 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.
