# PhishDestroy threat dossier — goatbet.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 04:02:33 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/goatbet.cc/ ## 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: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Kaspersky Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (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: alina.ns.cloudflare.com, seamus.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-04-07 Expires: 2027-04-07 Page title: Goatbet | Decentralized Web3 Gambling Site with Provable Trust ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 354c1c009ec03e544cb85b8e92cb6ccefb2e7e5da5d4df7a40d6a335236722ec ## 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: 2026-04-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-03 16:47:47 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-04 04:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-04 00:02:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f2872-5f56-746f-a43b-5303119fabd9/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/goatbet.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.goatbet.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=goatbet.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/goatbet.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/goatbet.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-03 16:55:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, goatbet.cc, is flagged as an active brand impersonation threat targeting crypto casino and gambling platforms. Analysis indicates the site mimics decentralized Web3 gambling services, presenting itself under the title 'Goatbet | Decentralized Web3 Gambling Site with Provable Trust.' The domain does not appear to deploy a known crypto drainer kit but instead focuses on brand deception to lure users into interacting with fraudulent gambling services. No direct evidence of credential theft or wallet-draining scripts was observed, though the impersonation of a high-trust gambling brand elevates the risk of financial exploitation or account compromise. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and was registered on April 07, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend a false sense of legitimacy. VirusTotal detection shows 3 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. As of the latest scan, the domain remains unlisted on Google Safe Browsing (GSB) and has minimal presence on public blocklists, with only a handful of threat intelligence feeds acknowledging its malicious status. The creation date discrepancy (2026) suggests potential domain spoofing or incorrect WHOIS data, a common tactic in fraudulent operations. The domain remains active and poses a high risk to users seeking crypto gambling platforms. Response actions should include immediate blocklisting of the domain and IP across enterprise security controls, along with monitoring for related infrastructure (e.g., subdomains, newly registered lookalike domains). Users are advised to verify gambling platforms through official channels only, cross-check SSL certificates, and avoid interacting with domains registered through high-risk registrars. Given the low detection rate but high-risk branding, this domain may evade automated defenses, necessitating manual review of gambling-related traffic for signs of impersonation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 11c501aa6eca37500e9884a448286f36 TLS cert SHA-256: 354c1c009ec03e544cb85b8e92cb6ccefb2e7e5da5d4df7a40d6a335236722ec ## 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/goatbet.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=goatbet.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.
