## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-07 21:44:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This report analyzes the domain 2upgrader.com, which is classified as a generic phishing threat and currently remains active. The domain impersonates a CS2 skin upgrade service, as indicated by its page title referencing a top upgrade service for CS2 skins. No specific brand is directly impersonated, but the domain mimics legitimate skin trading platforms to deceive users.

Technical analysis reveals specific indicators: the domain was created on June 23, 2026, and is registered through Tucows Domains Inc. It resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. VirusTotal detection shows 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging this domain as malicious. The domain's high-risk level is further supported by its recent creation date and active status.

The current status of 2upgrader.com remains active, posing an ongoing threat to users. Recommendations include blocking the domain at the network perimeter, adding it to threat intelligence feeds, and monitoring for related infrastructure. Users should avoid interacting with the site, especially providing personal or financial information. Organizations should update their security policies to prevent access to this domain and educate users about phishing risks associated with skin trading services.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       a5ca870aaff2e5eb64c0650e076b625f
TLS cert SHA-256:      ca12d8580929b99cdd83bebe80888430c2c001806c20cd0e0e05a0f2599ce979

## SCORING METHODOLOGY
----------------------------------------------------------------
Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates:
  - VirusTotal positive ratio
  - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus,
    CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB)
  - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor)
  - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.)
  - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing
  - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts
  - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording)
  - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures)
  - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...)
  - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal)
  - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record)
  - Human researcher sign-off (operator takedown team)

A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does
NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their
first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite
score and the individual indicators above, not just VT.
