## 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: 2026-04-22 22:08:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies soawex.com as a high-risk domain engaged in brand impersonation targeting a prominent crypto casino and gambling entity. This malicious site remains active and is actively leveraging Elon Musk’s name to deceive unsuspecting visitors.

This domain was flagged by 3 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., and resolves to IP address 172.67.203.118. The domain was created on March 11, 2026, and currently exhibits a low trust score due to its malicious content. The page title, 'Soawex: Elon Musk’s Official Crypto Casino Powered by Blockchain,' underscores the fraudulent intent to exploit public trust in high-profile figures and cryptocurrency trends.

Given the domain’s active status and the confirmed threats it poses, immediate action is recommended. Users should avoid accessing soawex.com and block the domain at the network and endpoint levels. Organizations are advised to update firewall rules and DNS blacklists to include soawex.com and its associated IP address 172.67.203.118. Security teams should monitor for any internal attempts to resolve this domain and conduct user awareness training to mitigate the risk of falling victim to similar impersonation schemes. Proactive threat hunting based on the provided IOCs is strongly encouraged to prevent potential financial or data loss.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260422-9B5348
Favicon MD5:       8153a7896143b14fc167487c7c1f7c5c
TLS cert SHA-256:      4c61e2275b4188784fda3a7808fbdc42103ecdeba01360038d9c1685fbda2128

## 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.
