Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/api.kometacasino718.com/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 77/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: gambling

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       Web Commerce Communications Limited
Nameservers:     ["FISH.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM", "HASSLO.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM"]
Registered:      2026-02-21
HTTP response:   530

## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:22:39 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-23 10:24:58 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-23 10:24:58 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:35:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies api.kometacasino718.com as an active phishing domain that poses a low-risk but real threat to users. Although only one out of 95 security vendors currently flags this domain, and it appears on a single security blocklist, caution is advised because phishing sites can still steal personal information or login credentials. The domain was registered recently and remains active, which means it could still be used to target unsuspecting victims.

This phishing campaign likely attempts to deceive users by mimicking legitimate casino or gambling-related services, given the domain’s naming pattern. Visitors may be lured into submitting sensitive data such as usernames, passwords, or financial details under false pretenses. The site’s low detection rate suggests it is either newly launched or employs techniques to evade common security scans, making it harder for automated tools to flag it immediately.

If you have visited api.kometacasino718.com, it is important to avoid entering any personal information. Clear your browser cache and cookies, and run a full antivirus scan to detect potential malware. Monitor your accounts closely for any suspicious activity and consider changing passwords associated with any credentials you might have entered. Reporting the domain to your security team or using online phishing report platforms can help reduce the risk to others.

## 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.
