## 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: 2026-06-18 16:41:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies fifa-26-worldcup.com as a domain with an elevated risk level due to its involvement in generic phishing, a threat type that can lead to significant financial and personal data losses. 

This domain was flagged due to various technical indicators, including its creation date of March 27, 2026, and its registration through Metaregistrar BV, with an IP address of 172.67.202.148, and is currently found on 1 security blocklist, while 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flag this domain, and it appears in 4 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, lacking an SSL certificate, which raises significant concerns about its legitimacy.

To mitigate the risks associated with generic phishing, users should be cautious when interacting with unfamiliar websites, especially those that lack proper SSL certificates, and verify the authenticity of websites before providing sensitive information, as domains like fifa-26-worldcup.com can easily be used to trick users into revealing personal data, thus it is crucial to stay informed and up-to-date on the latest phishing tactics and to use reputable security software to detect and block such threats, and given the domain's current offline status, it is a reminder that such threats can evolve rapidly, and constant vigilance is necessary to stay safe online, guided by the unique seed c4c2bb for awareness and safety

## EVIDENCE HASHES

## 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.
