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: 2026-06-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-17 17:10:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 18:48:47 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 16:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 00:14:29 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed620-bba1-74e6-82b5-1216c9757527/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/1728b087-624b-4135-89fa-874c9eeeb002 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/gafrex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.gafrex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=gafrex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/gafrex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/gafrex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:18:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, gafrex.com, poses a targeted brand impersonation threat against users of decentralized gambling platforms by mimicking a legitimate Web3 casino. Analysis of the page title, "Gafrex | Decentralized Web3 Gambling Site with Provable Trust," confirms the fraudulent intent to deceive visitors into believing they are accessing a trusted crypto gambling service. The site likely functions as a credential harvester or crypto drainer, designed to siphon digital assets from victims under the guise of a provably fair gaming environment. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators supporting the malicious classification. The domain was registered on June 9, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.179.127 and is currently flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with detections including phishing and fraudulent activity. The domain appears on one security blocklist and employs tracking technologies such as Twitter Ads and Facebook Pixel, suggesting an attempt to amplify reach through social media campaigns. SSL certification by Google Trust Services and Cloudflare proxying further obscure the true origin of the threat. Users who visited gafrex.com should immediately cease all interaction with the site and revoke any connected wallet permissions or session tokens. If credentials or private keys were entered, affected parties must transfer remaining assets to a new, secure wallet and monitor transaction histories for unauthorized activity. Browser data, including cookies and cached files, should be cleared to eliminate residual tracking. Given the elevated risk level and offline status of the domain, vigilance against similar impersonation attempts is advised, particularly those leveraging Web3 gambling themes and provable trust claims. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-F88FC4 Favicon MD5: 85832dd14b68f7c185518b9cae58dc90 TLS cert SHA-256: 2f6f659d2026b58d5c5c386fe313171fdb43fb5a979a96cc4105255840b7cb9c ## 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/gafrex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gafrex.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.
