## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRITICAL THREAT — DO NOT VISIT
Composite threat score: 82/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Impersonation
Targeted brand: Crypto Casino / Gambling

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/92 security vendors flagged this domain

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto)
ASN:             AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Hosting org:     CloudFlare, Inc.
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE

[Generated: 2026-05-17 21:22:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies phoenix.casino as a live crypto drainer scam targeting cryptocurrency users by impersonating a gambling platform. The domain, registered on April 16, 2026, is actively resolving to IP 188.114.97.3 and remains unflagged on VirusTotal with 0 detections as of current checks. The site leverages a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate issued through NameSilo, LLC, and exhibits no known blocklist presence despite its malicious intent.  This domain was flagged by 0 out of 95 VirusTotal antivirus vendors, indicating it remains undetected by mainstream scanners. It was registered through NameSilo, LLC, resolves to IP 188.114.97.3, and was created on April 16, 2026. The absence of detections suggests a recent deployment, increasing risk for unsuspecting visitors. No confirmed blocklist entries or trust scores are available due to its emerging status.  The domain is currently active and categorized under generic phishing with a crypto drainer payload targeting wallet connections or login credentials. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with phoenix.casino and verify domain safety on PhishDestroy before any transaction or data input. Security teams should monitor this IP and domain for increased detection coverage and block accordingly.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       095b185e288ed8e4d934ac78fe6a4e2e
TLS cert SHA-256:      4edea57cb64ff0613f1e01bdafc00d4e15856af975e9cce22696b8f8e4f75f9f

## 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.
