## 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 02:22:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies face-promotion.digital as a high-risk phishing domain impersonating the popular gaming platform Steam. The site was designed to deceive users by mimicking Steam's sign-in page, aiming to steal sensitive account credentials. Although currently offline, this domain was flagged by multiple security vendors and appeared on several blocklists, confirming its malicious intent.

The phishing attack operates by presenting a convincing fake login interface under the guise of Steam's branding. Unsuspecting users entering their usernames and passwords on this site risk having their credentials captured by cybercriminals. The domain was linked to suspicious IP addresses and found in numerous threat intelligence pulses, highlighting its active use in phishing campaigns before being taken down.

Users are advised to remain vigilant and always verify URLs before entering login information. Avoid clicking on suspicious links claiming to be from Steam or related promotions. Enable two-factor authentication on Steam accounts for added protection. If credentials were submitted to this site, immediately change passwords and monitor accounts for unauthorized activity. Staying informed and cautious is key to preventing phishing attacks like face-promotion.digital.

## 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.
