Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies mellupxcasino.com as an active crypto drainer domain impersonating the Base brand. The site is currently under investigation and remains accessible to users. This domain was flagged for brand impersonation of Base, a blockchain-based ecosystem, indicating a high risk of cryptocurrency theft through fraudulent transactions or fake login portals. This domain displays several technical indicators that warrant immediate caution. Registered on February 08, 2026, through TUCOWS.COM, CO., mellupxcasino.com resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and utilizes a Google Trust Services SSL certificate. Despite its recent creation, the domain has not yet been flagged by any of the 95 VirusTotal security vendors, suggesting it remains under the radar of mainstream detection systems. The page title, 'Mellupxcasino: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain,' explicitly targets users seeking crypto gambling opportunities, aligning with the modus operandi of crypto drainers. The current status of mellupxcasino.com is active and unresolved, posing an ongoing threat to unsuspecting users. Given the domain's use of a legitimate SSL certificate and lack of detection on VirusTotal, users may falsely perceive the site as trustworthy. PhishDestroy advises users to avoid interacting with this domain entirely. If you have visited mellupxcasino.com, disconnect your cryptocurrency wallets immediately and scan your device for malware. For verification of other domains, use PhishDestroy’s real-time threat analysis tools to ensure safe online interactions. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-1776685541-mellupxcasino.c 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/mellupxcasino.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mellupxcasino.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.
