drakebonus[.]com

The domain drakebonus.com was observed hosting a cryptocurrency‑based gambling lure. The site title “DRAKEBONUS | Play at the best online casino based on Blockchain” indicates a promotional page that attempts to attract victims to an online casino that claims to operate on blockchain technology. Registration data shows the domain was created on 9 June 2025 and was registered through Web Commerce Communications Limited. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to the IPv4 address 69.5.189.56, which is announced by AS42624 (Global‑Data System IT Corporation) and geolocated to Switzerland (CH). No TLS certificate is presented, meaning the site is served over plain HTTP, which further reduces credibility and facilitates man‑in‑the‑middle interception.

Threat intelligence sources have classified the activity as a “Crypto Scam” and linked the payload to the Gambler Scam phishing kit. The domain is currently offline, and the blocklist provider PhishDestroy has taken it down. It also appears on a single external security blocklist, confirming that at least one independent feed has flagged the host. VirusTotal analysis shows that 2 of 95 scanned security vendors flagged the domain, providing additional evidence of malicious behavior despite the low detection ratio. Reputation services assign drakebonus.com a trust score of 1 out of 100 on Scamadviser, reinforcing the assessment that the site is highly untrustworthy.

The four listed authoritative nameservers (ns1‑ns4.nameserverhub.com) are typical of low‑cost hosting services and do not provide any mitigation against abuse. Defenders should continue to block DNS resolution for drakebonus.com, enforce outbound filtering for the associated IP address 69.5.189.56, and monitor for any resurgence of the domain or its hosting infrastructure. Because the site lacks an SSL certificate, any future re‑hosting attempts will likely be exposed in clear text, allowing network‑level detection.
