Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies grandvegas.info as an active threat posing brand impersonation risks. The domain impersonates the Base brand, presenting itself as a popular online crypto casino based on blockchain technology. This tactic aims to deceive users into trusting the site by mimicking a reputable brand, potentially leading to fraudulent activities such as crypto theft or fake login credential harvesting. Technical analysis shows that grandvegas.info was created recently on April 05, 2026, and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The domain currently resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may lend the site a false sense of legitimacy. Notably, VirusTotal scans report 0 detections out of 95 engines, indicating that typical antivirus and security solutions have not yet flagged this domain as malicious. This lack of detection combined with an active status and impersonation strategy places the domain under active investigation, emphasizing caution. Users who have visited grandvegas.info should immediately avoid entering any personal or financial information on the site. It is recommended to run security scans on their devices and monitor cryptocurrency wallets for suspicious activity. Users should verify the legitimacy of any site claiming affiliation with Base through trusted sources, such as PhishDestroy, before engaging further. Staying vigilant and reporting any suspected fraudulent activity will help mitigate potential harm from this ongoing brand impersonation threat. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260411-C46970 Favicon MD5: 095b185e288ed8e4d934ac78fe6a4e2e ## 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/grandvegas.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=grandvegas.info 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.
