Analyst Security Overview

AI-Generated

The domain playvado.live was created to impersonate an online casino, presenting itself as a blockchain-based gaming platform. With a VirusTotal score of 3/95 and a low Gridinsoft trust score of 1/100, this domain is considered highly suspicious and a potential threat to users looking for legitimate online gaming experiences.

Registered with PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, this domain is relatively new at 173 days old. It has demonstrated malicious intent, as indicated by its presence on blocklists and a warning from Gridinsoft, which categorized it as a high-risk scam. The use of a suspicious SSL certificate and shared hosting further suggests its role in online scams targeting unsuspecting visitors.

The domain has been taken down, and PhishDestroy actively reported and monitored the threat to mitigate any further risks associated with this phishing attempt. Although currently inactive, the tactics employed by this site highlight ongoing vulnerabilities in the online gaming sector that users should be aware of.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →
