Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified dota-market.com as an active cryptocurrency drainer posing as a Dota 2 gaming market hub. The domain, created April 8, 2025, is engineered to trick users into connecting wallets and transferring funds under false pretenses. It currently shows zero detections on VirusTotal (0/95), likely due to its recent registration and the use of benign infrastructure such as a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate and hosting on Cloudflare’s network (IP 172.67.138.189). Its registrar, NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, has been historically associated with high-risk domain registrations. The site masquerades as a legitimate Dota 2 trading platform, luring gamers into depositing cryptocurrency or linking wallets to purchase in-game items. Once a victim connects a wallet or approves a transaction, the drainer silently transfers funds to attacker-controlled addresses. Evidence of malicious intent is further supported by its complete lack of detection across security vendors, suggesting a newly launched campaign with evasive tactics. The domain’s youth—just days old—indicates a rapidly evolving threat likely targeting enthusiasts during peak gaming activity or events. Users who visited dota-market.com should immediately revoke any wallet connections via their wallet provider’s interface, scan their systems for malware using reputable tools, and avoid re-engaging with the site or similar domains. Disable auto-connect features in wallets and enable transaction alerts. Report the domain to PhishDestroy for inclusion in blocklists to protect the broader community. Blocking the IP 172.67.138.189 at the network level can help prevent further access. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260424-4FC868 Favicon MD5: 9508d9afecfa36991bd970c98270a3cc TLS cert SHA-256: a80d105658b6f48672b40e11ad1541d193f503e3a163db65066f23c65c630796 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/dota-market.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dota-market.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
