Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is rainbet.mx a Fake Betting Scam Site? Analysis indicates that rainbet.mx is an active phishing domain targeting users of online betting platforms. The domain was registered on February 26, 2026, through Dynadot Inc, a registrar frequently associated with fraudulent activity. Infrastructure analysis reveals it resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which is part of Cloudflare's network, a common tactic to obscure hosting origins and evade IP-based blocking. The domain uses Cloudflare nameservers (oswald.ns.cloudflare.com and rachel.ns.cloudflare.com), further complicating attribution and takedown efforts. As of July 28, 2026, rainbet.mx appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, which classify it as a high-risk phishing threat. VirusTotal reports that 3 out of 91 security vendors flag the domain, though the specific detection rules or payloads are not disclosed in available intelligence. The domain remains active, with no evidence of suspension or deactivation by the registrar or hosting provider. The exact content of rainbet.mx has not been fully analyzed, so the precise phishing mechanics—such as credential harvesting, payment fraud, or malware distribution—remain uncertain. However, the domain name and detection context strongly suggest an attempt to impersonate a legitimate betting service to deceive users into submitting sensitive information. Defenders should treat this domain as malicious and implement blocking at the DNS, proxy, or endpoint level. Organizations are advised to monitor for connections to 188.114.97.3 and review logs for any user interactions with rainbet.mx, particularly in regions where online betting is prevalent. Further investigation into the domain's hosting history and associated infrastructure may reveal additional linked threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: aa5fed2968925c7a0c44a27bee3e8652f9759bfee040ef8981e8ff993ab130d1 ## 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/rainbet.mx/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rainbet.mx 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.
