Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! 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.

Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified azart.casino as a generic phishing domain designed to deceive users. Although its threat level is assessed as low, the domain was used to lure victims under false pretenses, potentially aiming to steal sensitive information. The deceptive page title mimicked a popular software download to increase trust. Technical analysis reveals that azart.casino was registered through NameSilo, LLC on February 26, 2026, and resolved to IP address 188.114.97.3. Despite minimal detection—only one out of 95 security vendors flagged it and it appeared on a single security blocklist—the domain’s infrastructure raised enough concern to warrant closer scrutiny. The domain’s content included a misleading page titled "Google Chrome – den schnellen und sicheren Browser von Google jetzt herunterladen," which could trick users into thinking it was legitimate. Currently, azart.casino is taken offline, eliminating immediate risk. PhishDestroy recommends users remain cautious about similar suspicious domains and avoid engaging with unknown links offering software downloads. Continuous monitoring and prompt takedown actions remain vital to preventing potential harm from such phishing operations. ## 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/azart.casino/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=azart.casino 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.
