## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-24 17:01:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies pex.bet as an active crypto-betting-themed phishing domain under investigation for stealing credentials and funds. This domain masquerades as a legitimate betting platform to trick users into entering sensitive information such as login credentials, wallet addresses, or payment details. While currently undetected by security tools (VirusTotal: 0/95 detections), its infrastructure and recent creation date signal high-risk behavior. Registrant anonymity and the use of a premium SSL certificate (DigiCert Inc) are common tactics to establish false trust in phishing campaigns.

Technical indicators confirm this domain was registered through Name.com, Inc., on September 07, 2025, and resolves to IP 91.195.240.94 — a hosting provider frequently abused by malicious actors. Despite zero detections on VirusTotal at the time of analysis, the lack of historical reputation and association with crypto-themed fraud elevate its threat level. Users should treat pex.bet as hostile until further evidence emerges, especially since no legitimate betting entity operates from this domain.

If you accessed pex.bet or entered any information, immediately change passwords linked to crypto wallets or betting accounts and revoke any authorized connections. Use a reputable security tool to scan for malware or browser hijackers. Report the domain to your antivirus vendor and avoid interacting with similar domains. Always verify URLs via official sources and enable multi-factor authentication on financial and crypto accounts to mitigate damage from credential theft.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       def00c11b1596db4efee6a9fbe64fc27
TLS cert SHA-256:      54e8965b671d089da690a0f4a5bcbcdb0f9c59aaaa9e0da4b728b6a6c48b889f

## 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.
