## 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: 2026-04-14 19:17:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies ruecex.com as an active brand impersonation campaign targeting Base users. This domain lures users with a fake crypto casino, potentially leading to crypto theft and unauthorized access to digital assets.

This domain, ruecex.com, was created on April 10, 2026, and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and has a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. Currently, VirusTotal reports that 2 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious.

Users who have visited ruecex.com should immediately revoke any approvals granted to the site and carefully review their transaction history for any unauthorized activity. It is crucial to avoid entering any personal information or connecting your wallet to this domain. Monitor your crypto wallets for any suspicious transactions and report any incidents to your exchange and security authorities.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260414-CCBDA0
Favicon MD5:       c3d9e7ac8ad834ae3d129c8c7a595a4f
TLS cert SHA-256:      bab9149fe3502f71d46c7cc93cff25cc0cc413bf88e7a21851c277962c279ac9

## 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.
