Domain eventually taken down after 1 abuse notice(s). Reports filed: 1 independent abuse notifications First report: 2026-02-08 18:38:03 UTC Days since first notice: 167 (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/wenowex.com/#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: 2026-02-01 20:14:26 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-26 16:21:29 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-12 00:06:55 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/019c15b4-634d-769e-9842-8221cb26b9b1/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/5e42c5d9-0e3e-489a-9b21-0d15276d324a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/wenowex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.wenowex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=wenowex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/wenowex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/wenowex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 13:26:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is wenowex.com a Fake Elon Musk Crypto Casino Scam? This domain, wenowex.com, is identified as a brand impersonation threat targeting x.com, specifically leveraging Elon Musk’s name to promote a fraudulent crypto casino. The page title, 'Wenowex: Elon Musk’s Official Crypto Casino Powered by Blockchain,' explicitly attempts to deceive users by associating itself with a high-profile brand and cryptocurrency themes. No legitimate affiliation with x.com or Elon Musk exists, and the site’s content is designed to exploit trust in these entities to facilitate financial fraud or credential harvesting. Analysis indicates the domain exhibits multiple technical indicators of malicious activity. VirusTotal reports 16 out of 95 security vendors flagging wenowex.com as malicious. The domain was registered through Hello Internet Corp on February 21, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 104.21.6.164, hosted on Cloudflare’s infrastructure (AS13335). The domain lacks an SSL certificate, a common red flag for fraudulent sites. It appears on one security blocklist and is currently blocked by at least one anti-phishing system. The creation date suggests the domain was set up specifically for this campaign, with no prior legitimate use. As of the latest assessment, wenowex.com has been taken offline, reducing immediate exposure to users. However, the infrastructure remains a residual risk, as domains registered for such campaigns can be reactivated or repurposed. Users who interacted with the site should monitor for unauthorized transactions, particularly if cryptocurrency wallets or credentials were entered. Organizations should update blocklists to include this domain and its associated IP address. Vigilance is advised for similar impersonation attempts, especially those leveraging high-profile brands or cryptocurrency themes. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260201-943A21 ## 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/wenowex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=wenowex.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.
