# PhishDestroy threat dossier — drakewhale.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 01:33:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/drakewhale.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 98/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Crypto Casino / Gambling ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 10/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, Webroot ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.51.34 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: amy.ns.cloudflare.com, duke.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-03-07 Page title: Drakewhale: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-06-05 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: ce10a460fc814b3bdef1cbc4875e2ee90bbc4573de10265b544237786e457c38 ## 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: 2026-03-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-20 14:42:21 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-20 11:42:55 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-22 13:07:00 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-21 06:21:05 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019daaaf-7d66-768b-a45d-be5773d75e62/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/4c78cf99-5950-4000-9758-4043f43990ba Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/drakewhale.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.drakewhale.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=drakewhale.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/drakewhale.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/drakewhale.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-20 14:44:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies drakewhale.com as an active cryptocurrency drainer domain impersonating legitimate crypto platforms to siphon victim funds. The domain leverages a fraudulent SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt to appear trustworthy, while its infrastructure is designed to deceive users into connecting crypto wallets and approving malicious transactions. This domain is part of a growing trend of drainer-as-a-service (DaaS) kits marketed on cybercrime forums, where threat actors customize phishing pages to target specific cryptocurrency brands or protocols. The domain's rapid deployment and evasion techniques indicate a sophisticated operation aimed at high-value theft. drakewhale.com exhibits multiple red flags detectable through forensic analysis. The domain resolves to IP address 104.21.51.34 and was registered on March 07, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. VirusTotal analysis confirms that 6 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious. This low detection rate suggests the domain has evaded early-stage screening mechanisms. Additionally, the domain's recent creation date and association with a reputable but compromised registrar raise concerns about its legitimacy. While Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status remains unconfirmed, the domain has already been blocked by multiple threat intelligence platforms. The domain remains active despite elevated risk indicators, with no confirmed takedown as of the latest assessment. PhishDestroy recommends immediate blocking of drakewhale.com at the network and DNS levels, alongside user education on cryptocurrency drainer tactics. Remaining risk is high due to the domain's ongoing accessibility and its potential to evolve with new obfuscation techniques. Organizations and individuals transacting in cryptocurrency should exercise extreme caution and verify all URLs prior to wallet connections. The risk of asset loss remains elevated until proactive mitigation measures are implemented. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260420-F28A21 Favicon MD5: f1ccd28aa4d092936d37df8a05a0e418 TLS cert SHA-256: ce10a460fc814b3bdef1cbc4875e2ee90bbc4573de10265b544237786e457c38 ## 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/drakewhale.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=drakewhale.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.
