Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] vaekex.com is an active domain identified as a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting the crypto casino and gambling sector. It falsely presents itself as a popular online crypto casino operating on blockchain technology, using the page title "Vaekex: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain" to lure users. There is no direct evidence of a drainer kit, but the impersonation intent strongly suggests potential for fraud or theft. Technical indicators reveal vaekex.com holds a VirusTotal detection ratio of 1 out of 95 security vendors, indicating a low but notable detection footprint. The domain was registered on April 21, 2026, through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com. It resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which provides encryption but does not guarantee legitimacy. The domain is not currently flagged by Google Safe Browsing, and only one security vendor has flagged it, which may delay broader blocking measures. Currently, vaekex.com remains active and accessible, maintaining its impersonation campaign. Users and organizations should avoid interacting with this domain or sharing sensitive information. Security teams should consider blocking the associated IP and domain in network filters and monitor for related phishing or fraud attempts. Given the high risk of brand impersonation in the crypto gambling space, vigilance and proactive threat intelligence updates are essential to mitigate potential financial and reputational damage. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260424-6B5841 Favicon MD5: c3d9e7ac8ad834ae3d129c8c7a595a4f TLS cert SHA-256: 7c0daa52767d9ce00519159c524b836efa7e9c717b9a74883df22e0152b9c8bb ## 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/vaekex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vaekex.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
