## 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: 2026-03-03 02:27:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies cs2bus.com as a high-risk domain engaged in brand impersonation targeting Steam users. The site was designed to mimic the official Steam Community web page, aiming to deceive visitors into divulging sensitive information. Its primary threat vector involved social engineering tactics to lure unsuspecting users into providing credentials or personal data under the guise of Steam services.

The domain cs2bus.com was registered on February 1, 2024, through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Technical analysis reveals that it resolved to the IP address 104.21.112.1 and was flagged on multiple security platforms, including Google Safe Browsing, which classified it under social engineering threats. AlienVault OTX recorded its presence in five distinct threat pulses, and it appeared on at least one security blocklist. VirusTotal assessments show that numerous security vendors detected malicious activity associated with this domain.

Currently, cs2bus.com has been taken offline, mitigating the immediate risk to users. However, PhishDestroy advises caution and vigilance when interacting with unsolicited links purporting to be related to Steam or other popular platforms. Users should verify URLs thoroughly, avoid entering credentials on suspicious sites, and employ robust security tools to detect and block phishing threats effectively.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       9f890a9debcdfccc339149a7943be9aff9e4c9203c2fa37d5671a5b2c88503ad

## 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 (volunteer 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.
