Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC Nameservers: imani.ns.cloudflare.com, toby.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Vilemex: Elon Musk’s Official Crypto Casino Powered by Blockchain ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## 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: 2026-02-18 13:58:11 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:26:40 UTC (STALE — 21 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-02-28 00:10:26 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 21 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 21 days stale) 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/019c7108-2967-76ae-8e1f-06dd2997bc59/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8f87724c-d23b-439c-a037-1c080c843a70 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vilemex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vilemex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vilemex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vilemex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vilemex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 02:09:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies vilemex.com as a high-risk brand impersonation phishing domain targeting MEXC users. The site masqueraded as a cryptocurrency casino branded with Elon Musk’s name, aiming to deceive victims into believing it was affiliated with the legitimate MEXC exchange. This classification is based on the domain’s use of MEXC branding and misleading page titles to exploit user trust. Technical analysis reveals that vilemex.com was registered recently on February 21, 2026, via Global Domain Group LLC. The domain resolved to IP address 172.67.198.114 and was linked to several security blocklists, including a low trust score of 1/100 from Gridinsoft. VirusTotal flagged it with 10 detections out of 95 security vendors, while AlienVault OTX associated it with one threat intelligence pulse. These indicators confirm its malicious intent and infrastructure aimed at phishing and fraud. Currently, vilemex.com is offline, having been taken down to prevent further victimization. Despite its removal, users should remain vigilant against similar brand impersonation attempts, especially those leveraging emerging crypto trends and celebrity associations. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding engagement with suspicious domains and reporting any fraudulent activity related to MEXC impersonation promptly. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260218-36C49F Favicon SHA-256: c6a528a6786d0b1ba3a6800ec62ad36b4ae4a8e91ca0e11915c8d45726447707 ## 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/vilemex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vilemex.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.
