Registrar: Hello Internet Corp Registered: 2026-01-11 Expires: 2027-01-11 Page title: Xerogex: Elon Musk’s Official Crypto Casino Powered by Blockchain HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: WE1 Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-01-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:24:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-30 18:05:09 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-09 17:11:22 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bb83d-eb0c-7235-8945-056f985de7ae/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/xerogex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.xerogex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=xerogex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/xerogex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/xerogex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 02:02:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified xerogex.com as a dangerous phishing website that poses a significant threat to unsuspecting users. This domain pretends to be Elon Musk’s official crypto casino, deceiving visitors with promises of blockchain-powered gambling. The site is actively attempting to trick individuals into submitting sensitive information, putting their financial and personal data at risk. This phishing campaign operates by masquerading as a legitimate crypto platform linked to a well-known figure, Elon Musk. Users are enticed by the allure of a high-tech casino and blockchain technology, which lends false credibility. Once engaged, visitors are prompted to input confidential data, which attackers can exploit for fraud or identity theft. The domain resolved to the IP address 172.67.152.20 and was flagged by multiple security services, confirming its malicious intent. If you have visited xerogex.com, it is crucial to immediately cease any interaction with the site and avoid providing further information. Run a full antivirus and malware scan on your device and consider changing passwords for any accounts that might have been compromised. Reporting the site to your security team or national cybercrime unit can also help prevent others from falling victim to this scam. ## 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/xerogex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xerogex.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
