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: 2026-07-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 22:13:54 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-09 00:30:11 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-09 00:17:16 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f435c-5711-72b7-a084-5bd81306ffa9/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/couhex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.couhex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=couhex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/couhex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/couhex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 22:14:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, couhex.com, is actively impersonating a legitimate cryptocurrency casino platform to deceive users into depositing funds or disclosing wallet credentials. The site mimics the branding and interface of established crypto gambling services, presenting itself as a 'Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain.' Such impersonation schemes typically aim to harvest sensitive financial information or facilitate unauthorized transactions, posing significant risks to users who engage with the platform under false pretenses. Analysis of the domain reveals no prior malicious detections on VirusTotal, with a score of 0/95 as of the latest scan. The domain was registered on July 07, 2026, through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com, a registrar frequently associated with newly created fraudulent domains. Infrastructure analysis indicates the domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and utilizes an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend an appearance of legitimacy. Despite the absence of blocklist entries, the domain's creation date and impersonation of a high-risk industry (crypto gambling) elevate its threat profile. Users who have visited couhex.com or interacted with its content are advised to take immediate action. Cease all engagement with the site and avoid entering any credentials or financial information. Monitor linked cryptocurrency wallets for unauthorized transactions and revoke permissions for any suspicious smart contracts. If funds were deposited, consider reporting the incident to relevant financial authorities or blockchain analytics platforms for further investigation. Additionally, scan local devices for malware, as brand impersonation sites may distribute malicious payloads or redirect to secondary phishing pages. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 50679c0c5e3ed56d05c1d0ed312419a7 TLS cert SHA-256: f396d2b2e1c35f9862ac427ca37677a79e18fbf3f73fe9c1221b7ba45b801bc0 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/couhex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=couhex.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.
