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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:41:56 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.red as having an elevated risk level due to its generic phishing nature, specifically targeting users with a FIFA World Cup 2026 theme. 
   
This domain was flagged by 19 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a high likelihood of malicious intent, and it resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, with its domain created on November 17, 2025, through Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina, and it appears on 1 security blocklist, having been found in 5 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, and lacking an SSL certificate, which are all indicators of a potentially dangerous site.

To mitigate the risks associated with generic phishing threats like fifa.red, which has been taken offline, users should always verify the authenticity of websites, especially those prompting for sensitive information, by checking for SSL certificates and ensuring they are on the official website, and reporting any suspicious activity to the relevant authorities, thus helping to prevent similar threats from succeeding in the future, as PhishDestroy continues to monitor and analyze such threats to provide accurate and timely warnings.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260601-80A867
Favicon MD5:       cb8657e5f0cad7962aee80b4a7cf4bb1

## 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.
