No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 07:49:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-06 09:00:03 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f35f8-8e7f-705f-8a41-e828e412bb29/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/winvex.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.winvex.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=winvex.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/winvex.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/winvex.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 07:55:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an active high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting cryptocurrency gambling platforms. Analysis indicates winvex.cc mimics legitimate Web3 casino services, presenting itself as a "Decentralized Web3 Gambling Site with Provable Trust" to deceive users into depositing funds or disclosing credentials. The specific threat involves fraudulent investment schemes and credential harvesting under the guise of a crypto gambling service, leveraging social engineering tactics to exploit users' trust in decentralized platforms. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 27, 2024, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.13.246, a Cloudflare-protected endpoint that obscures the true origin of the malicious infrastructure. Detection metrics show 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain as malicious, while no widespread blocklisting is yet observed. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of legitimacy. Additional telemetry indicates the use of Twitter Ads and Facebook Pixel for targeted distribution, alongside Cloudflare Browser Insights for user tracking and analytics. Mitigation steps specific to this threat type include immediate blocking of the domain and its resolving IP (104.21.13.246) at the network perimeter. Organizations should deploy detection rules for brand impersonation patterns in gambling-related domains, particularly those using terms like "Web3," "decentralized," or "provable trust." End users should be educated to verify domain registration dates (e.g., June 2024 for this domain) and scrutinize SSL certificate issuers, as legitimate gambling platforms typically use established, industry-recognized certificates. Social media platforms should be monitored for ad campaigns distributing this domain, and reporting mechanisms should be utilized to disrupt its distribution channels. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 7336eadbc5a5d09f8bad07818b78f7a5 TLS cert SHA-256: 8c6b72bc9194a381b1e229dc91980ea87b54baf8d794f17834eb59be5a4b0318 ## 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/winvex.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=winvex.cc 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.
