Registrar: Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — Trustname / Fewmoretaps OU !!! Trustname (IANA #4318) is a shell company declaring EUR 120 annual revenue, 1 employee, negative equity, Belarusian ownership. Explicitly advertises itself as 'bulletproof' in its DNS TXT records.

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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 01:35:47 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-30 23:49:01 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 00:20:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 03:03:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1ae2-a8fb-77f8-94f0-51ff7a7f6748/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/61433f9a-32b8-41e7-9085-31996cf88b23 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/sovexplay.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.sovexplay.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=sovexplay.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/sovexplay.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/sovexplay.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 01:44:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, sovexplay.com, presents a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting users of decentralized gambling platforms. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate Web3 casino services, using the page title 'Sovexplay | Decentralized Web3 Gambling Site with Provable Trust' to establish false credibility. The domain specifically targets individuals seeking cryptocurrency-based gambling opportunities, potentially exposing them to credential theft, financial fraud, or unauthorized asset transfers under the guise of provably fair betting systems. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple indicators of suspicious activity. The domain was registered on June 26, 2026, through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com, a registrar with historical associations to high-risk domains. It currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and employs an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which, while providing encryption, does not validate the legitimacy of the site's operations. Detection metrics from VirusTotal show 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, a low but notable detection rate that suggests emerging or evasive threat characteristics. No entries were found on major blocklists at the time of analysis, though this may reflect the domain's recent creation date or successful evasion techniques. Users who have visited sovexplay.com should take immediate remediation steps. Those who entered credentials or connected cryptocurrency wallets should assume compromise and revoke any active sessions or smart contract approvals associated with the site. Financial transactions conducted on the platform should be reported to relevant blockchain analysis services and local cybercrime authorities. Browser data, including cookies and cached files, should be cleared to eliminate residual tracking mechanisms. Due to the domain's active status and targeted nature, users are advised to monitor connected accounts for unauthorized activity and consider implementing additional authentication measures for cryptocurrency wallets and exchange platforms. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260630-044C94 Favicon MD5: 85832dd14b68f7c185518b9cae58dc90 TLS cert SHA-256: 9456f41c277571f73887031a0d74c0d2bc95b012b4570b5094b3934abe62edd7 ## 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/sovexplay.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sovexplay.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.
