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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 22:31:23 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/019f436c-cb7e-77d6-a683-514afd090915/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/play.kuofax.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.play.kuofax.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=play.kuofax.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/play.kuofax.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/play.kuofax.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 22:34:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, play.kuofax.com, is classified as a high-risk brand impersonation threat specifically targeting online crypto casino and gambling platforms. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate blockchain-based gambling services, presenting itself under the title 'Kuofax: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain.' The intent appears to be social engineering aimed at deceiving users into engaging with fraudulent gambling services, likely to harvest credentials, financial information, or cryptocurrency deposits. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators corroborating the malicious classification. The domain was registered on June 08, 2026, through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com, a registrar frequently associated with suspicious domains. It currently resolves to the IP address 104.21.11.152, which is part of a network range known for hosting phishing and impersonation sites. Detection engines on VirusTotal flag the domain as malicious, with 11 out of 95 security vendors marking it as a threat. Additionally, Google Safe Browsing has classified the site under the 'SOCIAL_ENGINEERING' category, further confirming its deceptive nature. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which, while not inherently malicious, is commonly exploited by threat actors to lend a false sense of legitimacy to fraudulent sites. Mitigation against this specific threat type requires a multi-layered approach. Network administrators should block the domain play.kuofax.com and its resolving IP 104.21.11.152 at the firewall or DNS level to prevent access. End-users should be educated on recognizing brand impersonation tactics, particularly in the crypto gambling sector, where fraudulent sites often use urgent language, unrealistic bonuses, or unverified payment methods. Organizations should also monitor for domains registered through Fewmoretaps OU or similar high-risk registrars, as these are frequently leveraged in phishing campaigns. If financial or credential exposure is suspected, affected parties should immediately revoke access to associated accounts, rotate passwords, and report the incident to relevant cryptocurrency platforms or financial institutions for further investigation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 50679c0c5e3ed56d05c1d0ed312419a7 TLS cert SHA-256: a5dd6b51c0c4e643c62b9c282b9c6ee9a9db245c8392022554c3b452e0f86479 ## 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.kuofax.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=play.kuofax.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.
