rugz.bet: Confirmed Phishing Site

Analysis of rugz.bet indicates that the domain is actively being used for generic phishing operations. The domain was registered on December 22, 2025 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and remains active as of the report date. DNS resolution points to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which is the sole host associated with the domain in public records. VirusTotal has logged a single detection out of 95 scanned security vendors, confirming that at least one scanner identified malicious behavior linked to the domain. The limited detection count suggests that the phishing infrastructure may be newly deployed or employing evasion techniques, but the presence of any detection reinforces the high‑risk rating assigned. No additional intelligence such as page content, brand impersonation, or malware kit details is currently available, leaving the exact phishing payload and victim targeting unknown. Defenders should block network traffic to 188.114.96.3 and add rugz.bet to domain blocklists across perimeter and endpoint controls. Continuous monitoring of DNS queries for the domain and its IP is recommended, as well as periodic re‑scans on VirusTotal or equivalent services to capture any escalation in detection activity. Organizations should also educate users about unsolicited communications that may reference the rugz.bet URL, emphasizing verification of sender authenticity before entering credentials.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260719-FC4EFB
Favicon MD5:       fa2a9f7bb10f6640039be187317efc0d
TLS cert SHA-256:      f227c94ae7f832a1511c51ccaa93e46fcfceb2f1d5e232edc970841615630cbd

## 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.
