This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 22:12:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-09 00:30:11 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-09 00:17:16 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f435a-b1a2-757d-8b9f-24e0c7ca322e/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/play.crustwin.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.play.crustwin.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=play.crustwin.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/play.crustwin.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/play.crustwin.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 22:15:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk brand impersonation threat specifically targeting users of cryptocurrency-based gambling platforms. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate crypto casino services under the name 'Crustwin: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain,' attempting to deceive users into engaging with fraudulent gambling operations. The threat type is categorized as brand impersonation, a tactic frequently employed to exploit trust in established gambling brands for financial gain or credential harvesting. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain play.crustwin.com was registered on April 29, 2026, through Fewmoretaps OU, operating under the registrar Trustname.com. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which, while providing basic encryption, does not validate the legitimacy of the site. Detection metrics from VirusTotal indicate that 12 out of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious, a detection ratio that underscores its suspicious nature. As of the latest assessment, the domain remains active and has not been widely blocked by major blocklists, allowing it to continue operating with minimal disruption. To mitigate risks associated with this brand impersonation threat, users are advised to verify the authenticity of gambling platforms by cross-referencing domain registration details, such as creation dates and registrars, with official brand communications. Financial transactions should only be conducted on platforms confirmed through official channels, and cryptocurrency wallet interactions should be restricted to verified smart contracts. Security teams are recommended to monitor network traffic for connections to 188.114.97.3 and implement domain-based blocking for play.crustwin.com. Endpoint protection solutions should be updated to include the domain in threat intelligence feeds to prevent user exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 50679c0c5e3ed56d05c1d0ed312419a7 TLS cert SHA-256: a149a118320e2f099e248bba242eb60d14e1eed6eb1d20b1aebd91a242f541c6 ## 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/play.crustwin.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=play.crustwin.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.
