Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Analysis of the domain near-casinos.com indicates it is an active phishing infrastructure targeting users of decentralized gambling platforms. Registered on July 8, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, the domain resolves to the IP address 104.21.75.162. The page title, 'Near-casinos | Decentralized Web3 Gambling Site with Provable Trust,' suggests an attempt to impersonate a legitimate Web3-based gambling service, though no specific brand impersonation is confirmed from available data. Security vendor detections on VirusTotal report 2 of 95 engines flagging the domain, while AlienVault OTX lists it in one threat intelligence pulse. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a common provider for both legitimate and malicious domains. The domain remains active as of July 12, 2026, with no evidence of takedown or mitigation. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk due to its recent registration, association with gambling-related phishing, and detection by security vendors. Network-level blocking or monitoring of connections to 104.21.75.162 is recommended. Further investigation into the site's content and backend infrastructure is necessary to determine the exact phishing mechanics, such as credential harvesting or cryptocurrency theft. No evidence currently links this domain to a known phishing kit or specific threat actor. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 1ee4adec43ac0e105bd60420a1becd8e39694bd3e3d043e075e2f74b0b4cda79 ## 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/near-casinos.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=near-casinos.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.
