Hosting org: AS53831 Squarespace, Inc. Registrar: Squarespace Domains LLC Nameservers: ["ns-cloud-e1.googledomains.com", "ns-cloud-e2.googledomains.com", "ns-cloud-e3.googledomains.com", "ns-cloud-e4.googledomains.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Coming Soon ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-06-09 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: ae785b92546a908c304e83808952082797eeb8dc68dc7187d3fd88afcb1b5f9b ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: REPORTS FILED AND IGNORED — Squarespace Domains LLC did not act on these notifications. Domain was flagged dead on 2026-03-15 12:08:28 UTC but a fresh report was filed on 2026-04-05 02:00:21 UTC — it is back or never truly suspended. Reports filed: 4 independent abuse notifications First report: 2026-02-16 14:10:24 UTC Latest report: 2026-04-05 02:00:21 UTC Days since first notice: 113 — no registrar action, domain remains online ICANN Compliance CC'd on at least one escalation — non-response is on record. 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/winbets.live/#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: 2026-02-16 14:10:24 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC Flagged dead: 2026-03-15 12:08:28 UTC (SUPERSEDED — fresh report filed after this date, see ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY) Current status: ACTIVE (flagged dead but resurrected — registrar did not act on fresh reports) 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/019c66c9-4231-70fb-b84a-7df2ada2fa5c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/a344e689-d6cc-4a35-b561-e6c83c722197 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/winbets.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.winbets.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=winbets.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/winbets.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/winbets.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 17:10:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies winbets.live as a domain exhibiting signs of generic phishing activity. The domain is classified as low risk but remains active, warranting caution. Its page title "Coming Soon" suggests it may be in early development or used as a placeholder, which is common in phishing setups to avoid immediate detection. Technical indicators reveal that winbets.live was registered recently on February 21, 2026, through Squarespace Domains LLC. It resolves to IP address 198.185.159.144 and is listed on one security blocklist. VirusTotal analysis shows minimal flags, indicating limited current detection but not ruling out malicious intent. The domain's infrastructure hints at potential phishing campaigns once fully launched. Currently active and monitored by PhishDestroy, winbets.live should be approached with caution. Users and organizations are advised to block or monitor this domain proactively. Continuous surveillance is recommended to detect any escalation in phishing activity as the site develops. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-1771251018-winbets.live Favicon MD5: aa78d04664d6b65058ff847eb8d2d821 TLS cert SHA-256: ae785b92546a908c304e83808952082797eeb8dc68dc7187d3fd88afcb1b5f9b ## 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/winbets.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=winbets.live 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.
