Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, zarifex.com, is actively impersonating a decentralized crypto casino to deceive users into disclosing sensitive information or transferring cryptocurrency. The site mimics legitimate gambling platforms by presenting itself as a "Decentralized Web3 Gambling Site with Provable Trust," a common tactic to exploit trust in blockchain-based services. Users may be lured into depositing funds, sharing wallet credentials, or interacting with malicious smart contracts under the false pretense of secure gambling. Analysis indicates zarifex.com was registered on June 29, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a registrar frequently associated with fraudulent domains. The domain resolves to IP address 104.21.67.19 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which does not validate legitimacy. As of the latest scan, 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged this domain as malicious, a low detection rate that may reflect evasion techniques or recent deployment. If you visited zarifex.com, immediately cease all interactions with the site. Disconnect any connected cryptocurrency wallets and revoke permissions for associated smart contracts using a blockchain explorer. Scan your device for malware, as phishing sites may deploy additional payloads. Report the domain to your wallet provider or exchange if funds were transferred. Monitor financial accounts and wallet addresses for unauthorized transactions, and consider reporting the incident to relevant cybersecurity authorities or anti-fraud organizations. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260703-A6D2B2 Favicon MD5: 37c40b3a7287eeb1108ead5339b3da73 TLS cert SHA-256: a8c78a346cf187aa043c0d261a676135f157f31ed0fa05c73d83a722f39870d9 ## 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/zarifex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=zarifex.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
