Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies gunowex.com as a domain under investigation for hosting a generic phishing scam, specifically suspected of operating as a crypto drainer. The site is currently active and poses an ongoing risk to users who may interact with it. No specific brand impersonation has been confirmed at this stage, but the domain’s nature aligns with cryptocurrency-related fraud tactics. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating a low immediate detection rate despite its suspicious characteristics. It is registered through MAT BAO CORPORATION, resolves to IP 104.21.93.185, and was created on December 04, 2025. Notably, it holds a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, which may lend it a false appearance of legitimacy. The domain has not yet been widely blocklisted, and its trust scores remain unverified due to its recent registration. As the investigation into gunowex.com is active, users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with the site or entering any credentials, cryptocurrency wallet details, or payment information. Verify the domain’s status on PhishDestroy or reputable threat intelligence platforms before proceeding. If you have encountered this domain, report it immediately to PhishDestroy to aid in ongoing investigations. Exercise caution with newly registered domains, especially those purporting to offer financial or trading services. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260414-2C6D47 Favicon MD5: a96bf3af79c228f92e3c6852ba74bcea TLS cert SHA-256: c92533d9baa1c9c441cf310797ca8795b0177b2dc1904754cfb6a327c8f111bc ## 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/gunowex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gunowex.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
