!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

981by.com Fake Bwin Site Alert

This domain, 981by.com, is actively hosting a phishing page that mimics the Bwin gambling platform, as indicated by the page title “必赢（bwin）官网 - 官方体育赛事服务平台”. The site was registered through NameSilo, LLC and resolves to the IPv4 address 168.76.227.168, responding with HTTP status 200. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain uses the authoritative name servers ns1.domainnamedns.com and ns2.domainnamedns.com. VirusTotal scans have recorded detections from 2 of 91 security vendors, and the domain is listed on the PhishDestroy blocklist, confirming its malicious reputation. The threat is classified as generic phishing with a high risk rating and remains active as of the report date, July 19, 2026. Current intelligence does not include a detailed content review, so the exact phishing flow, credential capture mechanisms, or additional payloads remain unknown. Defenders should immediately block 981by.com at perimeter and DNS layers, add the associated IP address 168.76.227.168 to network‑level deny lists, and monitor outbound traffic for connections to the listed name servers. Continuous re‑scanning with sandbox and URL analysis tools is advised to capture any evolving payloads. Logging of any authentication attempts to Bwin‑related services originating from internal users should be correlated with this indicator to detect potential credential compromise.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       e32b88b78b9d34634caa643ab8c3446a
TLS cert SHA-256:      e8fd5123016082bd45603b75c7cc8c52b5677f457ff06ec4bf14bdf2dce823a8

## 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.
