# PhishDestroy threat dossier — pomedex.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-26 22:08:34 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pomedex.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Scam Targeted brand: x.com Phishing kit: Gambler Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 17/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Hello Internet Corp Nameservers: beth.ns.cloudflare.com, lynn.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Pomedex: Elon Musk’s Official Crypto Casino Powered by Blockchain ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Expires: 2026-05-08 Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-08 18:21:56 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-26 20:21:24 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-21 00:00:40 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/019c3e52-2e94-736b-abdb-fe67b9ed250f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/fbe83546-a3c1-49b3-9856-967834c7f13a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pomedex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pomedex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pomedex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pomedex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pomedex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-24 06:31:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] pomedex.com Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy The site pomedex.com claims to be "Elon Musk’s Official Crypto Casino Powered by Blockchain," impersonating the brand x.com. This domain poses a cryptocurrency scam threat, likely attempting to defraud users by soliciting cryptocurrency deposits under false pretenses. Technical evidence shows 17 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors flagged the domain as malicious. It was detected by ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, and CRDF, and appears on 1 blocklist. The domain is registered under Hello Internet Corp, hosted on IP 188.114.96.3 (US, AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.), and was created on February 21, 2026. It lacks SSL certificate and uses nameservers beth.ns.cloudflare.com and lynn.ns.cloudflare.com. The domain is currently down/offline. GridinSoft trust rating is 0/100, and DOM risk score is 15, indicating a high risk associated with this cryptocurrency scam website. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 17/93 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260208-C241DC ## 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/pomedex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pomedex.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.
