Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

Domain eventually taken down after 1 abuse notice(s). Reports filed: 1 independent abuse notifications First report: 2026-02-08 18:36:24 UTC Days since first notice: 72 (eventually taken down) Methodology: follow-up reports are sent ONLY when a victim re-submitted a re-report via our public form, our monitoring detected the domain resurfacing in SEO/feeds, OR our live-checker confirmed the domain is still technically active and fraudulent. Each report contains: VT verdict, URLScan snapshot, WHOIS, SSL metadata, IP/hosting chain, impersonated-brand evidence, drainer/kit classification, screenshots, and a cryptographic hash of the forensic PDF. ICANN RAA Sec. 3.18 applies. Per-report timeline: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/tropicanza.casino/#coordinated-suppression ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-08 18:36:27 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-21 09:30:57 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-20 00:01:22 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c38aa-a2b6-734e-b3cb-9d4df38e8079/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/tropicanza.casino crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.tropicanza.casino Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=tropicanza.casino AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/tropicanza.casino URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/tropicanza.casino/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:51:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified tropicanza.casino as a high-risk generic phishing domain masquerading as an online crypto casino. The site aims to deceive users into divulging sensitive information, potentially leading to financial loss or identity theft. Such phishing threats are particularly dangerous in the cryptocurrency space due to the irreversible nature of crypto transactions and the lack of regulatory protections. The domain tropicanza.casino was registered through NameSilo, LLC on February 21, 2026, and resolved to IP address 188.114.97.3. It has been flagged by 12 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on at least one security blocklist. The phishing site has since been taken offline, indicating possible law enforcement or hosting provider intervention. The site’s page title falsely promoted it as the "Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain," a common lure to attract crypto enthusiasts. Users are strongly advised to avoid visiting tropicanza.casino and never provide any personal or financial information if they encounter it. It is important to verify the legitimacy of crypto gambling platforms by researching official sources and user reviews. Additionally, enabling multi-factor authentication and using reputable security software can help mitigate risks from phishing attacks. If you suspect you have been targeted, change your credentials immediately and monitor your accounts for suspicious activity. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-1770575704-tropicanza.casi Favicon MD5: 095b185e288ed8e4d934ac78fe6a4e2e TLS cert SHA-256: bf91656622046f16d1b9be3a699887907046eff022a2eba183e9fc90c404d965 ## 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/tropicanza.casino/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tropicanza.casino 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.
