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.

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: 2026-04-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 21:58:29 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-09 02:20:23 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-09 00:17:16 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f434e-94bc-741c-ae11-0eddf54fc8ba/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/gambed.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.gambed.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=gambed.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/gambed.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/gambed.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 22:05:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, gambed.cc, poses a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting users of cryptocurrency-based gambling platforms. Analysis indicates the site is designed to deceive visitors by mimicking the branding and user interface of a legitimate online crypto casino, potentially leading to financial theft, unauthorized transactions, or exposure to malicious smart contracts. The domain specifically advertises itself as a 'Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain,' a claim that aligns with tactics used to lure victims into depositing cryptocurrency under false pretenses. Given the irreversible nature of blockchain transactions, users who interact with this domain risk immediate and permanent financial loss. Evidence supporting the malicious classification of gambed.cc includes detection by 11 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, a notable indicator of suspicious activity. The domain was registered on April 02, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to the IP address 104.21.72.223, which is part of a network range commonly used for hosting phishing and impersonation sites. The SSL certificate, issued by Let's Encrypt, provides basic encryption but does not validate the legitimacy of the site, as such certificates are freely available and frequently exploited by threat actors. No blocklist data beyond VirusTotal detections is currently available, but the combination of brand impersonation and cryptocurrency targeting elevates the risk profile. Users who have visited gambed.cc or interacted with its content should take immediate action to mitigate potential harm. First, cease all interaction with the domain and avoid clicking any links or downloading files from the site. If cryptocurrency was deposited or wallet credentials were entered, assume the funds are compromised and report the incident to the relevant blockchain explorer or wallet provider for potential tracing. Monitor connected wallet addresses for unauthorized transactions and revoke any suspicious smart contract approvals using a blockchain security tool. Additionally, scan the device used to access the site for malware, as brand impersonation domains often distribute secondary payloads. Report the domain to cryptocurrency security platforms and consider notifying the legitimate brand being impersonated to aid in takedown efforts.

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/gambed.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gambed.cc 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.
