PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2025-01-09 (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) First reported: 2025-11-01 21:14:00 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-21 12:00:46 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-23 03:15:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019a4144-a6b1-73c1-a159-445d83c9f214/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/waka.monster crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.waka.monster Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=waka.monster AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/waka.monster URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/waka.monster/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 02:22:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies waka.monster as a medium-risk phishing domain impersonating the popular online crypto casino Waka, which claims to operate on blockchain technology. The domain was created in early 2025 to lure users into providing sensitive information under the guise of a legitimate gambling platform. Given the nature of crypto casino scams, users risk financial theft and credential compromise if they engage with this site. The domain waka.monster was registered through Web Commerce Communications Limited on January 9, 2025, and resolves to IP address 104.21.17.91. It received a very low trust score of 1 out of 100 from Gridinsoft and appeared on one security blocklist, indicating prior suspicious activity. VirusTotal analysis flagged this domain by 8 out of 95 security vendors, confirming its malicious reputation. The page title presented as "Waka: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain" attempts to legitimize the phishing attempt. Currently, waka.monster is offline and inaccessible. Despite this, users and organizations should remain vigilant as threat actors often reuse infrastructure or create similar lookalike domains. It is recommended to avoid engaging with any suspicious crypto gambling websites, verify domains carefully, and employ phishing protection tools. Reporting such sites helps improve community defense against evolving phishing campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: c164e1ea36438d14fea9b88996d154275a4c92fd80bfa082c7e00a343f241147 ## 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/waka.monster/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=waka.monster 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.
