# PhishDestroy threat dossier — faceit.teams-ggturboarena.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-28 11:45:56 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/faceit.teams-ggturboarena.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 70/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Scam Targeted brand: across (and: cs2, csgo, revolut, steam, steamcommunity) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, Fortinet Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.225.23.151 (RU, Saint Petersburg) ASN: ASAS9123 TimeWeb-AS JSC "TIMEWEB", RU Hosting org: AS9123 JSC TIMEWEB Registrar: MAT BAO CORPORATION Nameservers: ["dns-expire1.matbao.com", "dns-expire2.matbao.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: FACEIT Cloud Events ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: R10 Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:22:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-26 23:22:31 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-28 12:21:33 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-07 09:58:20 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01983922-a3c4-76f5-bd1b-af2fd369b8dd/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/faceit.teams-ggturboarena.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.faceit.teams-ggturboarena.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=faceit.teams-ggturboarena.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/faceit.teams-ggturboarena.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/faceit.teams-ggturboarena.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-24 01:50:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is faceit.teams-ggturboarena.com a Crypto Scam? The domain faceit.teams-ggturboarena.com was registered on February 21, 2026 through MAT BAO CORPORATION and is hosted on the IP address 188.225.23.151, which resolves to an AS9123 JSC TIMEWEB network located in Russia. The name servers dns-expire1.matbao.com and dns-expire2.matbao.com are associated with the registrar and do not provide additional reputation signals. The site presented a page title of "FACEIT Cloud Events" and is classified as a crypto‑related scam in the intelligence feed, while the broader threat category is listed as brand impersonation targeting the "across" brand space. Infrastructure analysis shows a low‑grade SSL certificate designated as R10, and the domain received a Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100, indicating a lack of credibility. It appears on one external security blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service. VirusTotal recorded three positive detections out of 93 scanning vendors, confirming that multiple security products have identified malicious behavior associated with the domain. The current operational status is offline, which may be a temporary takedown or a defensive response, but the historical indicators remain relevant for threat hunting. Defenders should add faceit.teams-ggturboarena.com and its resolve IP 188.225.23.151 to block lists across network perimeter and endpoint filters. Monitoring of DNS queries for the associated name servers and any future re‑registration attempts is advised. Given the crypto scam designation and brand impersonation profile, security teams should also alert users of the FACEIT brand to verify any unexpected communications referencing "FACEIT Cloud Events" and enforce multi‑factor authentication for related services. Continuous review of threat intelligence feeds for re‑appearances of the same certificate fingerprint or similar naming patterns is recommended to mitigate recurrence. ## 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/faceit.teams-ggturboarena.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=faceit.teams-ggturboarena.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.
