# PhishDestroy threat dossier — j298k.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-27 16:58:51 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/j298k.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Gambling Targeted brand: Bet365 ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 21/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, CyRadar, DNS8, ESET, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, Netcraft, OpenPhish, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, Trustwave, VIPRE, Webroot URLQuery: 3 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 103.233.249.125 (HK, Kwai Chung) ASN: ASAS132839 POWER LINE DATACENTER Hosting org: AS132839 POWER LINE DATACENTER Registrar: Gname.com Pte. Ltd. Nameservers: ns1.1111343.com, ns1.dnsbm.com, ns2.1111343.com, ns2.dnsbm.com, ns3.1111343.com, ns4.1111343.com Registered: 2026-02-28 Expires: 2027-02-24 Page title: welcome-BET365 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Expires: 2026-05-25 Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-28 03:15:04 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-28 00:18:01 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-27 16:21:08 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-06 02:22:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ca197-67ee-721b-91e3-9e364f0da0f9/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/6f7a83bf-582e-46a5-b6a9-703ee19fbf28 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/j298k.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.j298k.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=j298k.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/j298k.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/j298k.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:38:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] j298k.xyz: Confirmed Bet365 Brand Impersonation Phishing Site This domain is flagged as an elevated-risk brand impersonation threat targeting Bet365, a well-known online betting platform. The site employs deceptive tactics, including a page title labeled 'welcome-BET365,' to lure victims into interacting with fraudulent content designed to harvest credentials or financial information. Analysis indicates this is not a generic phishing attempt but a targeted impersonation of a specific, high-value brand to exploit user trust and urgency associated with online betting services. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators supporting the malicious classification. The domain j298k.xyz was registered on February 28, 2026, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., a registrar frequently associated with suspicious domains. It resolves to the IP address 103.233.249.125, hosted in Hong Kong under AS132839 (POWER LINE DATACENTER). At the time of assessment, the domain lacked an SSL certificate, a common red flag for phishing sites. Detection metrics include 21 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain on VirusTotal, and it appears on at least one security blocklist. The domain was taken offline following detection, though its infrastructure remains a potential risk for future malicious activity. Mitigation steps for organizations and end-users include immediate blocking of the domain j298k.xyz and its associated IP address 103.233.249.125 at the network perimeter. Security teams should monitor for any re-registration attempts or DNS changes involving the same registrar or hosting provider. End-users should be educated on recognizing brand impersonation tactics, particularly in sectors like online betting where urgency and financial transactions are involved. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) should be enforced for all accounts associated with the targeted brand to reduce the impact of credential theft. Additionally, security teams are advised to review logs for any prior interactions with this domain or IP to assess potential compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260228-914CDE ## 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/j298k.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=j298k.xyz 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.
