## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:13:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies glowcore.live as an active phishing domain exploiting the allure of online cryptocurrency casinos. The site presents itself as "Glowcore: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain" to attract victims interested in crypto gambling. This social engineering tactic aims to deceive users into divulging sensitive information or credentials, posing significant financial risk.

The domain glowcore.live resolves to IP address 172.67.147.162 and was registered recently on February 21, 2026, indicating a newly established threat infrastructure. VirusTotal analysis flags the domain by 15 out of 95 security vendors, confirming its malicious nature. Additionally, AlienVault OTX has recorded this domain in a threat intelligence pulse, and it appears on at least one security blocklist, reinforcing its reputation as a high-risk phishing source.

Currently, glowcore.live remains active and continues to pose a significant danger to users interacting with crypto gambling platforms. PhishDestroy strongly recommends that users avoid accessing this domain and security teams implement blocking and monitoring measures. Vigilance is advised when encountering unsolicited links related to crypto casinos, as this campaign actively seeks to exploit user trust for credential theft and potential financial fraud.

## 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.
