## 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: 2026-07-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-07-07 20:20:40 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-06 12:45:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain werdex.cc is associated with brand impersonation of crypto casino and gambling platforms. It presents a page titled Werdex | Decentralized Web3 Gambling Site with Provable Trust and uses technologies including Twitter Ads, Facebook Pixel, Cloudflare Browser Insights and Cloudflare. No specific drainer kit is identified in the available data. The impersonation targets the Crypto Casino / Gambling brand with an active deployment.

Infrastructure analysis reveals a VirusTotal score of exactly 3/95 security vendors. The domain is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com with an SSL certificate from Google Trust Services. It resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and shows a creation date of July 02, 2026. No Google Safe Browsing status or additional blocklist counts are recorded in the provided intelligence.

Current status remains active. Response actions should include blocking the IP 188.114.97.3 at network perimeters and advising users to avoid interaction due to the impersonation risk. Remaining risk is high given the active status, future creation date anomaly and targeted brand, requiring continued monitoring for similar domains and user education on verifying official gambling platform URLs.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       37c40b3a7287eeb1108ead5339b3da73
TLS cert SHA-256:      55b0bc12bfd61d8835ea44ba56096c0a8c14856545ab3211ff3b1f5a919c783b

## 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.
