## 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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-05-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-01 01:50:53 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-01 20:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-17 18:21:24 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 03:23:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain dotaopen.com is assessed as elevated risk for generic_phishing, exhibiting brand impersonation of OPENDOTA statistics services and deceptive login intent. The infrastructure indicates the site is currently offline, consistent with takedown or blocking actions.

Evidence includes SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, page title 'OPENDOTA - Официальная Dota 2 Статистика по Героям и Персонажам', VirusTotal detection 5/95, Gridinsoft trust score 0/100, domain created May 27 2026, registrar NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, resolved IP 172.67.189.208, appears on 1 security blocklist, and is blocked by PhishDestroy.

Mitigation should include blocking DNS/IP 172.67.189.208, monitoring for similar OPENDOTA-themed impersonation domains, enforcing web filtering, and updating threat intelligence feeds to include recently registered NICENIC-associated infrastructure used for credential harvesting. Users should avoid entering credentials and verify official Dota 2 statistics services before authentication attempts.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 5/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       67fe495372e47794b553693e721020f0
TLS cert SHA-256:      e1aea0654ae5ecd2bac32ce4411c54aa2a71c18d3b61f8d53d810d2cfb1055af

## 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.
