# PhishDestroy threat dossier — playtoday.co ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-02 06:30:13 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/playtoday.co/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 68/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: gambling ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/93 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.182.12 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NAMECHEAP INC Nameservers: ["liv.ns.cloudflare.com", "yichun.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Pashagaming - Pashagaming Güncel 2026 - Pashagaming Giriş ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-04-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: df8c01fd51d29c657d2ea7d983d61bf2559bcd73132df7c0682a1a3692d9bf69 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.playtoday.co ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:21:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-02 23:12:35 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-18 13:09:49 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) 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/019c15af-3ca1-742a-b7e3-62f5473102b2/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/c79b31b4-3650-432b-bd16-13176e1e788f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/playtoday.co crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.playtoday.co Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=playtoday.co AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/playtoday.co URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/playtoday.co/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 17:16:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies playtoday.co as a medium-risk generic phishing domain masquerading as a crypto casino platform. The domain's page title, "The Home of Crypto Casino Players | PlayToday.co," suggests an attempt to lure cryptocurrency enthusiasts into fraudulent schemes. This threat targets users seeking online crypto gambling opportunities, potentially leading to credential theft or financial loss. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through NAMECHEAP INC. It has appeared on at least one security blocklist, indicating prior detection by cybersecurity entities. Despite its recent creation, the infrastructure shows typical phishing characteristics, including the use of deceptive branding to build trust and attract victims. The site was actively used to impersonate legitimate crypto gaming services before being taken offline. Currently, playtoday.co is offline and inaccessible, reducing immediate risk. PhishDestroy recommends users remain vigilant against similar crypto casino phishing attempts and verify website authenticity before engaging. Security teams should continue monitoring related domains and educate users about the risks associated with fraudulent gambling platforms. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260102-EBBA24 Favicon MD5: dbb7780fcd0bf8f927f7c7bf13160723 TLS cert SHA-256: df8c01fd51d29c657d2ea7d983d61bf2559bcd73132df7c0682a1a3692d9bf69 ## 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/playtoday.co/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=playtoday.co 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.
