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: 2026-05-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-17 19:26:58 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 18:59:32 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-25 08:20:45 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-19 18:21:41 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed69d-aedd-776a-a10a-207da77b60ed/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/2a139117-c6d7-4965-b902-8b37675ef0db Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/kurops.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.kurops.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=kurops.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/kurops.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/kurops.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:33:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies kurops.com as a high-risk domain due to its brand impersonation threat, specifically targeting the Base brand, which poses a significant risk to users who may unknowingly interact with the domain. This domain was flagged for its suspicious behavior, with 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal marking it as malicious, and it is registered through TUCOWS.COM, CO., resolving to the IP address 172.67.193.158, and was created on May 28, 2026, furthermore, it appears on 1 security blocklist, and has an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt / E8, all of which contribute to its high-risk status. To mitigate the risks associated with brand impersonation, users should be cautious when interacting with kurops.com, and verify the authenticity of the domain, especially given its claim to be the Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain, users should also keep their software and security solutions up to date, and be aware of the potential for phishing attacks, which can be highly effective when combined with brand impersonation tactics, and take steps to protect themselves, such as using two-factor authentication and monitoring their accounts for suspicious activity, to prevent potential financial losses and data breaches, as indicated by the unique seed ba5c8f, which highlights the need for continuous vigilance in the face of evolving threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-56C5C8 Favicon MD5: 50679c0c5e3ed56d05c1d0ed312419a7 TLS cert SHA-256: 2a461f341580f53fbb7900841cd5c841fb101d2b926dfa79dfb65f685bcd058d ## 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/kurops.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kurops.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.
