Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: ["edward.ns.cloudflare.com", "samara.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-13 Expires: 2027-03-01 Page title: Niagara-falls: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain HTTP response: 404 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-13 16:03:25 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-13 13:07:21 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:11:45 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners 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/019d86ee-6f32-769d-b8d9-25a750b99a4e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/5eadd5c2-35ec-49b1-a8cf-49fc938f2ac4 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/niagara-falls.bet crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.niagara-falls.bet Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=niagara-falls.bet AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/niagara-falls.bet URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/niagara-falls.bet/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-13 16:05:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has flagged niagara-falls.bet as potentially dangerous due to brand impersonation. The website mimics elements of Base, a well-known brand, likely to deceive users into trusting the site with their personal or financial information. This is a common tactic used in phishing and scam operations. The site promotes itself as an online crypto casino, which should raise immediate red flags given its attempt to associate itself with a legitimate brand. Technical indicators support this assessment. VirusTotal currently shows 0/95 detections, meaning it's a new or sophisticated campaign avoiding immediate detection. The domain was registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and created recently, on March 01, 2026. The site resolves to IP address 172.67.194.38 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. While a valid SSL certificate provides encryption, it doesn't guarantee the legitimacy of the website. The page title found is "Niagara-falls: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain," which is a generic and potentially misleading claim. The combination of impersonation and crypto themes is a red flag. If you have visited niagara-falls.bet, immediately cease all activity on the site. Do not enter any personal information, especially passwords, financial details, or cryptocurrency wallet information. If you have entered any such information, change your passwords immediately on all affected accounts, and monitor your financial accounts for any unauthorized activity. Report the site to your bank or financial institution if you suspect any fraudulent transactions. Consider running a full scan of your computer with a reputable antivirus program. Always verify the legitimacy of a website, especially those dealing with financial matters, before interacting with it. Use resources like PhishDestroy to check domain safety and stay informed about potential online threats. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260413-CDACF3 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/niagara-falls.bet/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=niagara-falls.bet 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.
