hocaso[.]com

Analysis on hocaso.com indicates the site was taken offline as of the reporting date. The domain was registered on August 28 2025 through Web Commerce Communications Limited and resolves to the Cloudflare address 172.67.147.70, an IP located in the United States and announced as part of AS13335. No TLS certificate was observed, meaning HTTPS connections would be unencrypted. The page title returned for the live snapshot reads “Hocaso: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain,” which aligns with the “Crypto Scam” classification and the Gambler Scam phishing kit observed in other campaigns.

The domain is explicitly linked to brand impersonation of Orca, suggesting attackers are attempting to lure Orca users to a fraudulent crypto‑casino front‑end. Threat intelligence sources have recorded the domain in one AlienVault OTX pulse and on a single security blocklist. PhishDestroy has already added the address to its block list, and VirusTotal reports 11 of 95 scanners flagging the domain as malicious. The lack of an SSL certificate, combined with the offline HTTP status, indicates the site may have been intentionally shut down after detection.

However, the underlying infrastructure – a Cloudflare‑protected IP – remains reusable for future campaigns. Defenders should continue to block hocaso.com at the DNS and proxy layers, monitor traffic to 172.67.147.70 for any resurgence, and add the associated IP to any existing threat‑intel feeds. Additional scrutiny of registrars using Web Commerce Communications Limited may reveal related malicious domains. Because the page content has not been captured beyond the title, further analysis of the site’s HTML and any credential‑capture forms is not possible at this time.
