crypto-de[.]rest

On 23 July 2026 analysts examined the domain crypto-de.rest, which was created on 21 February 2026 and is registered through Web Commerce Communications Limited. The site resolves to the Cloudflare‑owned address 188.114.97.3 (AS13335, United States) and uses the Cloudflare nameservers maria.ns.cloudflare.com and miguel.ns.cloudflare.com. No TLS certificate was observed, indicating HTTP‑only access. The page title returned by the server reads “Crypto‑de: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain”, aligning with the listed scam type of “Crypto Scam”. The infrastructure has been associated with the Gambler Scam phishing kit, a known template used to lure victims into fraudulent cryptocurrency gambling services.

VirusTotal records show that 12 of 93 scanning engines flagged the domain, and the domain appears on a single public blocklist. PhishDestroy also listed the domain as blocked. The current operational status is offline, which may hinder immediate traffic analysis but does not remove the historical risk. Evidence confirms the domain’s association with a cryptocurrency‑focused phishing campaign, but the absence of an SSL certificate prevents verification of any encrypted payloads that may have been delivered. Additional details such as the exact content of the landing page, credential‑stealing forms, or redirect chains remain unverified because the site is not reachable.

Defenders should continue to monitor the IP address 188.114.97.3 for related activity, enforce blocklisting of the domain in web filters, and consider adding the associated nameservers to threat‑intel feeds. Network sensors should flag any HTTP requests to this host, especially those targeting the “/login” or “/deposit” paths commonly used by gambling‑related scams. Correlation with other Cloudflare‑hosted phishing domains may reveal shared command‑and‑control infrastructure.
