Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies skywins.cc as a high-risk brand impersonation domain actively impersonating the Base ecosystem. This site operates as a counterfeit cryptocurrency casino claiming to offer blockchain-based gaming, exploiting Base’s reputation to deceive users into depositing funds. The threat is financially motivated, targeting individuals interested in Base Layer 2 solutions or crypto gambling, with clear intent to steal deposited cryptocurrency assets through fraudulent gaming payouts. Users interacting with this domain risk irreversible financial loss and credential compromise. This domain was flagged through automated analysis revealing multiple indicators of malicious intent. The domain skywins.cc was registered on March 19, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and currently resolves to IP address 104.21.23.135. Only 1 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors flagged this domain, highlighting a blind spot in detection coverage. The domain uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate and mimics Base through deceptive page titles such as 'Skywins: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain.' The site’s recent creation date and active status indicate ongoing operations, with no known inclusion on public blocklists despite clear fraudulent behavior. Technical indicators include content targeting crypto-savvy users, fake gaming interfaces, and withdrawal promises designed to lure victims into fund transfers. To mitigate risk from brand impersonation domains like skywins.cc, users should exclusively access official Base platforms and verified partners. Always verify URLs, use hardware wallets for crypto transactions, and install reputable browser extensions that detect impersonation attempts. Enterprises should monitor for typosquat domains targeting their brand and report impersonation sites to hosting providers and domain registrars. Cryptocurrency users must exercise extreme caution with 'too good to be true' gaming or investment opportunities, especially those claiming affiliation with major blockchain ecosystems like Base. Sharing threat intelligence about active impersonation domains helps protect the broader community from financial exploitation and brand reputation damage. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260420-B87FEA Favicon MD5: c3d9e7ac8ad834ae3d129c8c7a595a4f TLS cert SHA-256: 7683cf27dcd1622f4e148817ab3b14bf00db272d191686943d50dd9ef3db46d0 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/skywins.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=skywins.cc 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
