Analyst Security Overview

AI-Generated

startgamb.cc is a phishing domain that impersonated cryptocurrency financial services, posing a risk to users. With a VirusTotal detection rate of 19 out of 95 and a Gridinsoft trust score of only 1, this domain was flagged as suspicious for its dubious activities related to registration forms and SSL certificates.

The domain was registered with NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and had a very short lifespan of just 3 days. It was hosted on an IP address (69.5.189.54) that contributed to its suspicious status. The domain's activities raised red flags, particularly due to its focus on financial services, a common tactic used in phishing scams.

Currently, startgamb.cc is inactive and has been taken down. PhishDestroy reported the domain and ensured it is blocklisted to prevent future phishing attempts. Continuous monitoring strategies are being implemented to mitigate any potential resurgence of similar threats.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →
