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: 2026-06-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 14:04:58 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 04:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-08 18:17:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f419c-e408-7328-8fe5-c20b08388185/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8e39d917-a9e5-455a-8f63-0ed6b98c8ec0 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/rainbet.news crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.rainbet.news Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=rainbet.news AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/rainbet.news URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/rainbet.news/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 14:25:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, rainbet.news, is a generic phishing site that impersonates a legitimate betting platform. The site presents a fake login interface titled 'Rainbet: app access, live markets and betting experience for global markets,' designed to trick users into entering their credentials. By mimicking a well-known brand, it aims to steal account details, potentially leading to financial loss or identity theft. Users should treat any unsolicited links to this domain as malicious. Technical indicators confirm the threat. The domain was created on June 28, 2026, and is registered through Spaceship, Inc. It resolves to IP address 176.123.6.239. VirusTotal analysis shows 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, indicating low but credible detection. Additionally, AlienVault OTX lists it in one threat intelligence pulse, linking it to known phishing campaigns. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, which is common among both legitimate and malicious sites. If you have visited rainbet.news, immediately change any passwords entered on the site and enable two-factor authentication on affected accounts. Monitor financial accounts for unauthorized activity and consider placing a fraud alert with credit bureaus. Run a full antivirus scan on any devices used to access the domain. Report the phishing attempt to relevant authorities and avoid re-visiting the site. Staying vigilant against such deceptive domains is critical to online safety. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 135d7ffc20288c671d4ad96d908ecc86 TLS cert SHA-256: 4381923411e83de5bfc5a75b04804f5f97b08a803f75bcf3d9b538c105e967eb ## 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.news/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rainbet.news 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.
