Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] rustgifts.com Fake Rust Gift Giveaway rustgifts.com is currently active and serves a fraudulent Rust‑related giveaway page. The site was registered on December 5 2025 through Squarespace Domains LLC and is hosted on the IP address 192.162.199.140, which resolves via Cloudflare name servers april.ns.cloudflare.com and nick.ns.cloudflare.com. The public page title reads “Rust‑Gifts — честная раздача DLC и скиновRust Chat”, indicating an attempt to appear as an official distribution channel for DLC and skins for the game Rust. VirusTotal has flagged the domain in 15 of 95 scanned security engines, demonstrating a moderate level of detection across the vendor ecosystem. The domain is listed on one external security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, further corroborating its malicious classification. No additional public intelligence such as Safe Browsing verdicts, OTX tags, SSL certificate details, or HTTP response codes is available at this time. The combination of a recent registration, use of a reputable registrar, and Cloudflare‑provided DNS suggests an attempt to gain credibility while obscuring the true hosting location. The limited number of blocklist entries and the partial detection rate imply that the phishing infrastructure may be in early deployment or that some scanning services have not yet observed malicious payloads. Defenders should treat rustgifts.com as a high‑risk indicator and incorporate it into URL filtering, DNS sinkholing, and endpoint protection rules. Continuous monitoring of its IP address and associated Cloudflare name servers is advised, as the infrastructure could be repurposed for additional campaigns. Organizations should also audit any outbound connections to 192.162.199.140 and consider blocking traffic at the firewall level. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260720-269C4C Favicon MD5: b32503574313a1467f8a931364cf9d34 TLS cert SHA-256: 285b3ab72d2f62b51495a7427a9a651072f05cc91833e6a2496683830a09816b ## 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/rustgifts.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rustgifts.com 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.
