Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Ceowex.com has been identified as an active threat domain engaged in brand impersonation targeting the Base brand. This domain attempts to lure users by presenting itself as a popular online crypto casino leveraging blockchain technology, as indicated by its page title. The impersonation tactic specifically aims to exploit Base's reputation, potentially misleading users into trusting the fraudulent site. Technical intelligence reveals that Ceowex.com was registered on March 06, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. While virus scanning results from VirusTotal indicate a relatively low detection rate, with 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, the overall risk remains elevated due to the brand impersonation and the domain's online casino theme, which is often associated with financial fraud. No significant blocklist counts were provided, but the domain's trustworthiness is undermined by these factors. Given its active status and tactics, users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with Ceowex.com. Organizations should monitor and potentially block this domain to protect users from phishing, fraud, or other cyberattacks stemming from brand impersonation. End users should verify the authenticity of any site claiming association with Base or offering crypto casino services before providing sensitive information or engaging in transactions. Security teams should update filters and educate users on recognizing such fraudulent domains to mitigate risk effectively. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260414-A58B97 Favicon MD5: c3d9e7ac8ad834ae3d129c8c7a595a4f ## 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/ceowex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ceowex.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
