Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Fake Exchange
Targeted brand: Bitcoin

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      0/94 security vendors flagged this domain

## INFRASTRUCTURE

Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: 1fba7257d142404e7b86d2560af25e5bf42b2f80a19ffe9eeca7378b6f089859

## 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: 2026-04-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-04-19 04:43:58 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-19 01:45:07 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-04-27 07:40:06 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-23 02:13:54 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-19 04:44:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies cryptosgaming.com as an active brand impersonation domain targeting Bitcoin users.

This domain (cryptosgaming.com) is flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors as of current analysis, registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. on December 6, 2017. It resolves to IP 104.21.8.132 with a Google Trust Services SSL certificate. The page title 'Buy & Sell Bitcoin, Ether | Cryptocurrency Exchange' directly mimics legitimate Bitcoin platforms.

Security intelligence shows this domain remains active despite zero VirusTotal detections, indicating evasion techniques. Its long registration period (since 2017) suggests sustained operation for fraudulent purposes. Trust scores and blocklist coverage appear minimal, increasing exposure risk to cryptocurrency users.

Immediate action is required: block access to cryptosgaming.com at network/firewall levels, alert users to avoid this domain, and report to security vendors for enhanced detection. Monitor for similar impersonation domains leveraging Bitcoin branding.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260419-5A0E89
Favicon MD5:       b81f64a30dda63ba297c283d9cda82a0
TLS cert SHA-256:      1fba7257d142404e7b86d2560af25e5bf42b2f80a19ffe9eeca7378b6f089859

## 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.
