Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is dota2.faceit-authorize.com a Phishing Site? Analysis of dota2.faceit-authorize.com shows the domain was registered on 10 June 2026 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. The authoritative nameservers brady.ns.cloudflare.com and venus.ns.cloudflare.com resolve the zone to the address 172.67.148.217, a Cloudflare‑owned IP range. The domain is currently listed on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, indicating that at least one external source has classified it as malicious. VirusTotal records indicate that the host was examined by 91 AV engines, none of which reported a detection at the time of the scan; the absence of detections does not constitute a safety guarantee. The threat type supplied is generic phishing, and the risk level is marked as “under investigation” while the operational status remains active. No public SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, page titles, or additional threat intelligence (OTX, Safe Browsing, etc.) are available in the current dataset, leaving those vectors unverified. Defenders should therefore treat the domain as potentially hostile: network perimeter devices and DNS filtering should block or quarantine any resolution to 172.67.148.217 associated with this FQDN, logging attempts for further investigation. Continuous monitoring of the IP reputation and periodic re‑scanning with sandbox or AV tools is recommended, as the lack of detections may change. Because the domain’s age is less than two months, its rapid appearance on a blocklist suggests a purposeful abuse campaign rather than an incidental misconfiguration. Until further intelligence is released, the prudent posture is to enforce deny‑by‑default rules for traffic to this domain. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260730-3F8520 Favicon MD5: 03565a0af120ae6c652a57f29881950c TLS cert SHA-256: db5f442e303f466f92e26702aa4bdb780362c0b377107e6ae1b5502b4bdaa6ed ## 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/dota2.faceit-authorize.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dota2.faceit-authorize.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.
