dota2[.]faceit-authorize[.]com

Analysis of dota2.faceit-authorize.com shows the domain was registered on 10 June 2026 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. The authoritative nameservers brady.ns.cloudflare.com and venus.ns.cloudflare.com resolve the zone to the address 172.67.148.217, a Cloudflare‑owned IP range. The domain is currently listed on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, indicating that at least one external source has classified it as malicious. VirusTotal records indicate that the host was examined by 91 AV engines, none of which reported a detection at the time of the scan; the absence of detections does not constitute a safety guarantee.

The threat type supplied is generic phishing, and the risk level is marked as “under investigation” while the operational status remains active. No public SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, page titles, or additional threat intelligence (OTX, Safe Browsing, etc.) are available in the current dataset, leaving those vectors unverified. Defenders should therefore treat the domain as potentially hostile: network perimeter devices and DNS filtering should block or quarantine any resolution to 172.67.148.217 associated with this FQDN, logging attempts for further investigation.

Continuous monitoring of the IP reputation and periodic re‑scanning with sandbox or AV tools is recommended, as the lack of detections may change. Because the domain’s age is less than two months, its rapid appearance on a blocklist suggests a purposeful abuse campaign rather than an incidental misconfiguration. Until further intelligence is released, the prudent posture is to enforce deny‑by‑default rules for traffic to this domain.
