# PhishDestroy threat dossier — epicsloot.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-26 07:42:29 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/epicsloot.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 55/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet URLQuery: 2 detections ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (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: ["ray.ns.cloudflare.com", "sandy.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-17 Page title: EPIC-LOOT — Официальный Сайт: Кейсы Dota 2 и Арканы! ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-06-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 8272eaa921b3736fa73547952e3596fb5aadc1c9b26e640ce94cb2775a8748f8 ## 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: 2026-04-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-17 13:20:50 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-17 10:22:01 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-25 13:40:05 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. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d9af4-297f-7739-ba24-d158e1746c24/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/de6a8475-2cfc-4798-8486-34d116ba07d5 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/epicsloot.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.epicsloot.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=epicsloot.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/epicsloot.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/epicsloot.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-17 13:21:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies epicsloot.com as a live gaming-themed phishing domain currently under investigation for luring users with a fake in-game currency generator scam. This domain was flagged by zero of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating it has evaded detection despite its malicious intent. It is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, resolves to IP 188.114.96.3, was created on November 21, 2025, and holds a legitimate SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. The domain currently remains unlisted on major threat intelligence blocklists, contributing to its low detection rate. While the domain shows minimal overt malicious activity at present, the combination of a newly registered site with zero detections, a gaming-themed lure, and a legitimate SSL certificate creates a plausible deception scenario. Attackers commonly exploit such domains to harvest user credentials or spread malware under the guise of free in-game currency. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with epicsloot.com, verify any similar offers through official game channels, and report suspicious domains to their security teams or relevant gaming platforms. Organizations should consider proactive blocking of this domain and monitor network traffic for connections to 188.114.96.3 as part of a layered defense strategy. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260417-15A703 Favicon MD5: d39c1880a11b945c1e793f66b053f7a0 TLS cert SHA-256: 8272eaa921b3736fa73547952e3596fb5aadc1c9b26e640ce94cb2775a8748f8 ## 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/epicsloot.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=epicsloot.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.
