## 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: 2026-07-08 22:24:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain soukax.com is identified as a brand impersonation threat targeting the online gambling sector. The current status of this domain is active, and it is specifically designed to mimic the branding of a crypto casino.

Analysis indicates that soukax.com has been flagged by 8 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, which reflects a notable level of concern within the cybersecurity community. The domain is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. It was created on April 10, 2026, and currently has no known blocklist entries, though its trust score is low due to its association with malicious activities.

The current status of soukax.com remains active, necessitating immediate caution. It is recommended to block access to this domain and monitor for any attempted interactions from users. Organizations should educate their employees about the risks associated with brand impersonation and advise them to verify the authenticity of any communications or links related to online gambling activities. Regular updates and threat intelligence sharing will be crucial in mitigating risks associated with such domains.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       50679c0c5e3ed56d05c1d0ed312419a7
TLS cert SHA-256:      a57b8df5891a9454e2ae06f34c323f55a8a44361e6d685ed23c849d4bf3a50cd

## 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.
