## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Generic Phishing

## DETECTION EVIDENCE

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com
Registered:      2026-05-30

## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 17:53:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, puregamb.com, is flagged as an active phishing resource specializing in cryptocurrency wallet credential theft. Analysis indicates the site employs generic phishing tactics, likely designed to harvest sensitive wallet information or private keys under the guise of a technical error. The page title 'Problem loading page' suggests an attempt to mimic legitimate service disruptions, a common social engineering technique to lower user vigilance and prompt interaction with malicious prompts.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on May 30, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a registrar frequently associated with abusive domains. As of the latest scan, the domain is detected by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating limited but present detection coverage. It appears on a single security blocklist, and its current status remains active, with no confirmed takedown or sinkholing. The domain's hosting infrastructure and associated IP addresses have not been publicly disclosed in available threat feeds, limiting further network-based attribution.  Current status confirms puregamb.com remains operational and unmitigated, posing a high risk to users who may encounter it through phishing links in emails, social media, or malvertising. Response actions are limited to existing blocklist entries and vendor detections, which may not provide comprehensive protection. Users are advised to avoid interacting with the domain, verify URLs through official sources, and employ browser-based phishing filters. Organizations should update internal blocklists to include this domain and monitor for related indicators of compromise, such as unusual wallet transaction patterns or unauthorized access attempts.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260607-13C0D9
Favicon MD5:       c3d9e7ac8ad834ae3d129c8c7a595a4f

## 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.
