## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      2606:4700:3033::6815:4f22 (US, San Francisco)

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
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.

Last verified:     2026-05-31 13:20:39 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:31:19 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies xwg-rewards.games as a high-risk crypto drainer that impersonated a cryptocurrency rewards platform named X World Games. Although currently offline, it was flagged by numerous security vendors and appeared on multiple blocklists due to its malicious intent. Users visiting this domain were at significant risk of having their crypto wallets compromised and funds stolen.

This fraudulent site utilized the Angel Drainer kit to trick victims into claiming fake early adopter rewards denominated in $XWG tokens. By presenting a convincing interface that mimicked legitimate crypto reward programs, the scammers lured users into submitting private keys or seed phrases. Once entered, these sensitive credentials allowed the attackers to drain victims’ wallets directly, resulting in irreversible financial loss.

To stay safe, individuals should avoid interacting with unsolicited crypto reward offers and never share private wallet information on unfamiliar websites. Always verify domains through trusted sources and use official channels for crypto transactions. If you suspect exposure to such scams, immediately transfer assets to new wallets and enable strong security measures like hardware wallets and two-factor authentication.

## 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.
