# PhishDestroy threat dossier — zestybet.casino ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 00:01:47 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/zestybet.casino/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- ACTIVE + CLOAKED — returns HTTP 666 to scanners, real fraudulent site to victims Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Crypto Casino / Gambling Cloaking: DETECTED — domain returns custom HTTP 666 to scanners while serving fraudulent content to real users (type: content_divergence) (score: 1/6) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Bfore.Ai PreCrime, Seclookup, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.188.41 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-13 15:34:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-13 12:36:13 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-22 01:40:20 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 00:27:03 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners 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/019d86d3-d1f3-74ba-9118-5fd8182a6e55/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/3dfdb369-d5e2-4639-9b04-b4b05fa951f2 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/zestybet.casino crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.zestybet.casino Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=zestybet.casino AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/zestybet.casino URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/zestybet.casino/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-13 15:34:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies zestybet.casino as an active crypto drainer phishing domain designed to steal cryptocurrency deposits under the guise of a betting platform. This domain exhibits elevated risk due to its malicious intent and operational status, warranting immediate user caution and avoidance to prevent financial loss. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with a confirmed threat type of generic_phishing targeting cryptocurrency users. The domain zestybet.casino was created on December 21, 2025, and is registered through NameSilo, LLC using IP address 172.67.188.41. VirusTotal reports a detection rate of 3 out of 95 security vendors, indicating low but concerning coverage. The domain utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, though this does not guarantee safety. The domain's recent creation date and low detection rate suggest it may be newly deployed to evade early detection systems. Technical indicators supporting this classification include the domain's recent registration, low VirusTotal detection ratio, and hosting on a shared IP known for suspicious activity. The use of NameSilo as the registrar and Let's Encrypt for SSL certificates are common tactics used by threat actors to lower operational costs and enhance perceived legitimacy. The domain's specific threat type as a crypto drainer implies it is engineered to intercept and divert cryptocurrency deposits to attacker-controlled wallets, posing a significant risk to users attempting to engage with the site. To mitigate risk, users should avoid interacting with zestybet.casino entirely. If accidental access occurs, do not connect any cryptocurrency wallets or enter deposit information. Verify the legitimacy of any betting platform by cross-referencing official websites or trusted community forums. Use browser extensions or security tools like PhishDestroy to actively block access to this domain. Report the domain to relevant authorities such as the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) or local cybercrime units to aid in broader takedown efforts. Always enable multi-factor authentication on cryptocurrency exchange accounts and use hardware wallets for added security. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260413-A975F9 Favicon MD5: 095b185e288ed8e4d934ac78fe6a4e2e TLS cert SHA-256: 379d9c3446e8355d98f26bc4afcd200fbc1f62e0187e244e3d38f07f9f52d738 ## 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/zestybet.casino/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=zestybet.casino 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.
