# PhishDestroy threat dossier — betweex.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 04:00:36 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/betweex.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: Crypto Casino / Gambling ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 11/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, Kaspersky Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Gransy, s.r.o. Nameservers: aleena.ns.cloudflare.com, yadiel.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-29 Expires: 2027-06-29 Page title: Betweex | Decentralized Web3 Gambling Site with Provable Trust ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-27 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: aaa0c88a1bce0f5d8e192534b2114124d3b5a8449810eef2809c1dbe056639df ## 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: 2026-06-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-03 16:49:34 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-03 14:51:38 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 05:46:00 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-04 00:02:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f2874-16eb-7689-a26e-83604996f38f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/be3d54b8-1c07-44da-abef-275d7fc42bf4 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/betweex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.betweex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=betweex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/betweex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/betweex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-03 16:55:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain presents a high risk due to confirmed brand impersonation of a crypto casino and gambling platform. The threat type is specifically brand_impersonation, where the domain mimics a legitimate decentralized Web3 gambling site to deceive users into trusting a fraudulent service. The page title, Betweex | Decentralized Web3 Gambling Site with Provable Trust, directly targets cryptocurrency gamblers, increasing the likelihood of credential theft or financial fraud. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP 188.114.97.3, registered through Gransy, s.r.o., with an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. It was created on June 29, 2026, and remains active. VirusTotal data shows 2 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious, indicating low but notable detection coverage. No blocklist or trust score data was provided beyond the vendor count, though the registrar and recent creation date are common indicators of deceptive setups. For mitigation, users should avoid interacting with betweex.com entirely, especially for financial transactions or account logins. Crypto casino operators should issue warnings to their communities and consider domain takedown requests through their registrar, Gransy, s.r.o. End users are advised to verify any gambling site URLs against official channels and enable multi-factor authentication on all crypto accounts. Security teams should block this domain at the network level and monitor for related subdomains or lookalike registrations.

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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/betweex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=betweex.com 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
