# PhishDestroy threat dossier — events-worldcuponpump.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 23:40:22 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/events-worldcuponpump.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 94/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.153.95 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: ishaan.ns.cloudflare.com, natasha.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-12 Expires: 2027-06-12 Page title: WorldCupCoins ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-10 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: f04c08e8b6eed5477f7b3eb712e22d310d874789be03c76cab0b65cd8d6b9357 ## 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: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-20 09:48:48 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-20 07:50:27 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 00:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-21 12:19:18 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ee3ff-b6a3-77b8-87e7-489b449a4bf3/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/9989a2eb-29f5-4f44-802c-27b8579d2d24 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/events-worldcuponpump.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.events-worldcuponpump.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=events-worldcuponpump.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/events-worldcuponpump.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/events-worldcuponpump.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:38:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, events-worldcuponpump.com, is identified as a generic phishing threat specifically targeting users through a fraudulent World Cup-themed cryptocurrency scheme. The page title, WorldCupCoins, suggests an attempt to exploit interest in digital currency promotions tied to major sporting events, a common tactic to lure victims into disclosing sensitive information or transferring funds under false pretenses. The domain’s infrastructure and content are designed to mimic legitimate cryptocurrency platforms, increasing the likelihood of successful deception among targeted users. Technical analysis reveals multiple indicators of malicious activity. The domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.153.95 and is flagged by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating low but notable detection coverage. Additionally, the domain appears on one security blocklist and is assigned a trust score of 0/100 by Gridinsoft. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, does not mitigate the risk, as phishing domains commonly use valid certificates to appear legitimate. Users who visited events-worldcuponpump.com should take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. If any credentials, financial details, or cryptocurrency wallet information were entered on the site, affected parties should revoke access to compromised accounts, enable multi-factor authentication where available, and monitor for unauthorized transactions. Browser data, including cookies and cached content, should be cleared to eliminate residual tracking mechanisms. System scans using updated security tools are recommended to detect any secondary payloads or malware that may have been delivered. Given the domain’s offline status, further interaction is unlikely, but vigilance against similar phishing attempts remains critical. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260620-4BFD47 Favicon MD5: 953d124008aa5b93a1f2980baf32444a TLS cert SHA-256: f04c08e8b6eed5477f7b3eb712e22d310d874789be03c76cab0b65cd8d6b9357 ## 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/events-worldcuponpump.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=events-worldcuponpump.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.
