mellstroy[.]network

On July 23, 2026 analysts observed the domain mellstroy.network hosting a site that advertised itself as “Mellstroy: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain.” The page title and the classified scam type indicate a crypto‑casino phishing campaign. The site was served from the Cloudflare edge IP 104.21.61.144, which belongs to AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.) and is geolocated in the United States. No TLS certificate was presented; the HTTP service responded without HTTPS, which is consistent with the lack of an SSL certificate in the intelligence. The domain uses Cloudflare’s default authoritative nameservers heidi.ns.cloudflare.com and john.ns.cloudflare.com, suggesting the registration was performed through Cloudflare, Inc. The infrastructure matches the “Gambler Scam” phishing kit, a known template that mimics cryptocurrency gambling platforms to harvest credentials or funds.

Detection services have flagged the domain: 15 of 95 VirusTotal scanners raised alerts, PhishDestroy listed the domain as blocked, and it appears on a single external blocklist. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 / 100, reinforcing the malicious assessment. The site is currently taken offline, but historical artifacts remain useful for defensive correlation. Uncertainty remains around the exact payload delivered to victims, as the page content has not been captured and the site is no longer reachable.

Defenders should continue to block the domain and its associated IP address at network perimeter devices, update URL filtering and threat‑intel feeds with the indicator set, and monitor for any re‑hosting on alternative Cloudflare‑linked addresses. Given the low trust score and the presence of the Gambler Scam kit, any traffic that matches the domain or the IP should be considered malicious. Analysts are advised to enrich existing SOC rules with the domain name, the IP 104.21.61.
