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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 02:24:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has uncovered dice98.com, a domain identified as engaging in generic phishing activities, masquerading as a popular online crypto casino. This classification is based on its deceptive page title promoting a blockchain-based gambling platform, aimed at luring unsuspecting users into providing sensitive information.

The domain resolves to the IP address 104.21.95.187 and was registered recently on February 21, 2026. It has been flagged by 7 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a moderate level of suspicion. Furthermore, dice98.com appears on one known security blocklist, underscoring its association with malicious activity. The site remains active, which heightens the risk of user compromise if accessed.

Currently, dice98.com continues to operate without interruption, posing a medium-level threat. PhishDestroy recommends caution and urges users and organizations to block this domain proactively. Monitoring infrastructure associated with this IP and domain is advised, alongside updating security filters to mitigate the ongoing phishing risks linked to this deceptive crypto gambling site.

## 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.
