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: 2026-06-20 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 14:30:16 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 13:00:36 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:03:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e34-5515-729c-851d-bc1832dfb3ed/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/9154bbec-c395-4659-a96f-59f4a8e04a79 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pugewin.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pugewin.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pugewin.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pugewin.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pugewin.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 14:36:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] pugewin.com is assessed as a high-risk domain engaged in brand impersonation of a Crypto Casino / Gambling platform. The domain poses a significant threat to users who may be tricked into believing it is a legitimate site, potentially leading to financial loss and compromise of sensitive information. Infrastructure analysis reveals that pugewin.com is currently active and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. The domain was created on June 20, 2026, and is registered through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend a false sense of security to unsuspecting users. VirusTotal reports that 12 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious, indicating a moderate level of detection but also suggesting that many vendors have yet to identify it as a threat. This discrepancy in detection rates highlights the importance of continuous monitoring and user education. To mitigate the risks associated with this brand impersonation, users should be cautious when interacting with any unfamiliar crypto casino or gambling websites. Security teams should update their blocklists to include pugewin.com and the associated IP address 188.114.97.3. Additionally, implementing DNS-based filtering and educating users about the signs of phishing, such as suspicious URLs and unexpected requests for personal information, can significantly reduce the likelihood of successful impersonation attacks. Regularly reviewing SSL certificates and ensuring they are from trusted and recognized authorities can also help in identifying and avoiding fraudulent sites. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-B06C2C Favicon MD5: c3d9e7ac8ad834ae3d129c8c7a595a4f TLS cert SHA-256: 3ec7f73e5106ba1c729954dead2d00a8907f774d65eafd3512d866d17b16ee19 ## 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/pugewin.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pugewin.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
