Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] adoptmefree.com, a phishing domain targeting gamers, is taken down but initially flew under the radar with 0 VirusTotal detections. This early detection highlights the gap between domain registration and antivirus database updates. PhishDestroy's systems identified the threat during this critical window, capturing it before it could propagate widely. The domain was registered through NAMECHEAP INC and hosted on IP 216.198.79.65, managed by Amazon's infrastructure in the US. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for phishing sites due to its ease of access and cost-effectiveness. Despite being offline now, adoptmefree.com's early activity underscores the importance of proactive threat intelligence. Listed on one public blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy's, the domain scored a 63 out of 100 on our platform risk assessment. This score reflects its potential impact and the urgency of its threat profile. Phishing domains like adoptmefree.com often exploit popular online games, luring users with promises of free in-game items or currency. Such tactics are effective, especially among younger audiences who may not recognize the signs of a scam. The case of adoptmefree.com exemplifies the dynamic nature of phishing threats and the need for continuous monitoring. By identifying these domains early, organizations can mitigate risks before they escalate. The swift takedown of adoptmefree.com demonstrates the efficacy of coordinated efforts between threat intelligence platforms and hosting providers. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260622-A7A19F Favicon MD5: 07b069b0c51d299bf85833764e50405a TLS cert SHA-256: 9078be453dbb738f9e4d1013cc52b0fd86db417825f8857cf782f89b35b7de8c ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/adoptmefree.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=adoptmefree.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
