drakexem[.]com

Analysis of drakexem.com, created on October 04, 2025 and registered through Dominet (HK) Limited, shows a clear pattern of malicious activity targeting cryptocurrency users. The site resolved to IP address 188.114.97.3, which belongs to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. and is geolocated in the United States. Both the domain and its hosting infrastructure lack an SSL certificate, indicating that any data exchanged with the site would have been transmitted over unencrypted HTTP. Nameservers listed for the domain are edna.ns.cloudflare.com and theo.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming reliance on Cloudflare’s DNS services.

The page title returned by the site, "Drakexem: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain," aligns with the reported scam type of a crypto‑focused gambling scheme. The presence of the Gambler Scam phishing kit further corroborates the intent to deceive users into depositing cryptocurrency under false pretenses. Reputation services provide extremely low trust scores: Scamadviser and Gridinsoft each assign a rating of 1 out of 100, reinforcing the assessment of the domain as highly untrustworthy. Detection engines on VirusTotal flagged the domain in 10 of 95 scanned vendors, and the domain is currently listed on one security blocklist and has been blocked by PhishDestroy.

While the site is presently taken offline, the infrastructure elements—Cloudflare DNS, the specific IP address, and the associated kit—remain observable and could be re‑used in future campaigns. Defenders should therefore add drakexem.com and its resolving IP 188.114.97.3 to deny lists, monitor for any re‑registration or resurrection of the domain, and consider broader network controls that block traffic to Cloudflare‑hosted IPs associated with malicious activity. Continuous observation of threat intel feeds for new sightings of the Gambler Scam kit or similar crypto‑casino lures is recommended to pre‑empt potential re‑deployment.
