# PhishDestroy threat dossier — vip.kaecex.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 04:38:28 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/vip.kaecex.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Brand Impersonation Phishing kit: Gambler Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 11/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Kaspersky, Lionic, Netcraft, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.79.129 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. 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. Primary source: https://phishdestroy.io/trustname-bulletproof-exposed Nameservers: chelsea.ns.cloudflare.com, duke.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-12 Expires: 2027-05-12 Page title: Kaecex: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-10 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 7e62b01a5a530387fa42dd1476af6b32a70f6c3e29476f5f71f7fd4e4a28d289 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - kaecex.com ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-05-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 22:10:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 04:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-09 00:17:16 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4358-a36d-775b-bdf0-036b23b0d0d9/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vip.kaecex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vip.kaecex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vip.kaecex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vip.kaecex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vip.kaecex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 22:25:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, vip.kaecex.com, is flagged as an active brand impersonation threat targeting online crypto gambling platforms. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate blockchain-based casinos, using the page title 'Kaecex: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain' to deceive users into engaging with fraudulent gambling services. The infrastructure is designed to harvest cryptocurrency deposits and credentials, posing a high financial risk to victims. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain is registered through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com and resolves to the IP address 104.21.79.129. It was created on May 12, 2026, though this date may reflect registry manipulation or backdating. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common tactic to appear legitimate. VirusTotal detection shows 11 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. No Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status is currently available, but the domain remains unblocked by many consumer security tools. Current status confirms the domain remains active, continuing to host the fraudulent crypto casino interface. Response actions should include immediate blocking of the domain and IP at network and endpoint levels, as well as monitoring for related infrastructure registered through the same registrar. The remaining risk is high due to the domain's persistence, SSL encryption, and low detection rate among security vendors. Users are advised to verify gambling platforms through official channels and avoid interacting with domains lacking verifiable legitimacy or those flagged by multiple threat intelligence sources. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 50679c0c5e3ed56d05c1d0ed312419a7 TLS cert SHA-256: 7e62b01a5a530387fa42dd1476af6b32a70f6c3e29476f5f71f7fd4e4a28d289 ## 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/vip.kaecex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vip.kaecex.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.
