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 targeting cryptocurrency gambling platforms. Analysis indicates the site is designed to deceive users by mimicking legitimate crypto casino services, leveraging social engineering tactics to extract sensitive credentials, financial details, or cryptocurrency deposits. The domain poses a direct risk to users seeking blockchain-based gambling services, with potential consequences including financial loss, account compromise, or unauthorized transactions. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain pocexas.com resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and is registered through MAT BAO CORPORATION, with a creation date of June 22, 2024. Security vendor detections on VirusTotal report 14 out of 95 engines flagging the domain as malicious. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by InversionDNS. Google Safe Browsing classifies the site under the SOCIAL_ENGINEERING category, while the SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a common tactic to lend false legitimacy. Despite these detections, the domain remains active and accessible, increasing the likelihood of successful user deception. Mitigation measures should focus on proactive blocking and user awareness. Network-level protections should include DNS filtering to prevent resolution of pocexas.com and its associated IP, 188.114.96.3. Endpoint security solutions should be configured to detect and block access to the domain based on existing detections from security vendors. Users should be educated on the risks of brand impersonation in the cryptocurrency gambling sector, emphasizing the importance of verifying domain authenticity, SSL certificates, and registrar details before engaging with such platforms. Financial institutions and cryptocurrency exchanges should monitor for transactions linked to this domain and implement additional verification steps for users attempting to deposit funds into associated wallets. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260702-A97D96 Favicon MD5: ef9796c3a98e7fd8dfc93359ee65cd4d TLS cert SHA-256: 7b300c292ff99249c65072405d32247e39ad7038abefbda9579034b2fcded564 ## 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/pocexas.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pocexas.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.
