## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 58/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Targeted brand: discord (and: instagram, linkedin, roblox, twitter, youtube)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/95 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      185.27.134.110 (GB, Manchester)

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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.

Last verified:     2026-07-14 04:20:38 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-07 20:54:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain adoptmeappeals.com is a phishing site engaged in brand impersonation targeting Discord users. It presents itself as an official support page for 'Adopt Me! — Uplift Games', a popular game, but its primary threat is credential theft through fake login portals designed to mimic Discord's authentication process. No crypto drainer kit was identified in this campaign. The site is currently taken offline, reducing immediate risk to visitors.

Technical indicators confirm adoptmeappeals.com as malicious. 1 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors flagged the domain, including Gridinsoft, which assigned a trust score of 0/100. The domain resolves to the IP address 185.27.134.110, hosted in the United Kingdom under AS34119 (Wildcard UK Limited). It appears on 1 security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy. No SSL certificate was observed, and registrar or creation date details are unavailable. The page title displayed was 'Adopt Me! — Uplift Games Technical Support and Help Center', reinforcing its impersonation of legitimate support channels.

Victims of adoptmeappeals.com should immediately change any passwords entered on the site, particularly for Discord accounts, and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if not already active. Monitor linked accounts for unauthorized activity and report suspected fraud to financial institutions if payment details were exposed. To aid mitigation, report the domain to Discord’s official abuse channels and submit it to additional blocklists such as Google Safe Browsing or PhishTank. If crypto wallet interactions occurred, revoke token approvals and transfer funds to a new wallet as a precaution.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 1/95 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       9164e9e61772747c5cb442694612e0059544001673b79fb88d326b6fc0c008ef

## 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.
