Trustname (IANA #4318) is a shell company declaring EUR 120 annual revenue, 1 employee, negative equity, Belarusian ownership. Explicitly advertises itself as 'bulletproof' in its DNS TXT records.

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: 2026-05-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 22:11:42 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 08:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-09 00:17:16 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f435a-b19e-723a-902f-be8543a916c4/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/lounge.koazox.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.lounge.koazox.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=lounge.koazox.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/lounge.koazox.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/lounge.koazox.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 22:15:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting online crypto gambling platforms. Analysis indicates the site lounge.koazox.com mimics legitimate blockchain-based casinos, potentially deceiving users into depositing cryptocurrency under false pretenses. The specific threat involves fraudulent gambling services advertised as "Koazox: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain," designed to exploit trust in crypto gaming brands. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple concrete indicators of compromise. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and was registered on May 12, 2026, through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com. Security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain with 12 detections out of 95 scans, indicating a significant malicious footprint. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and fraudulent sites due to its accessibility. No blocklist entries were observed in major threat intelligence feeds, though the domain remains active and unmitigated. Mitigation steps for this threat type include immediate blocking of the domain and its associated IP (188.114.96.3) at the network perimeter. Organizations should update endpoint protection rules to detect and prevent access to lounge.koazox.com, particularly in environments where crypto-related services are prohibited. Users should be educated on recognizing brand impersonation tactics, such as verifying domain registration dates (e.g., May 12, 2026, for this domain) and cross-referencing with official casino platforms. Monitoring for cryptocurrency transactions linked to this domain is recommended to identify potential financial fraud.

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/lounge.koazox.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=lounge.koazox.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
