## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 87/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Wallet drainer: Angel Drainer

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      6/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, ArcSight Threat Intelligence, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar
AlienVault OTX:  4 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       GoDaddy.com, LLC
Nameservers:     ["ns71.domaincontrol.com", "ns72.domaincontrol.com"]
Registered:      2026-06-12
Expires:         2027-05-19

## 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:    2026-06-12 22:30:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 06:37:33 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-27 20:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-17 00:35:21 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 22:45:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, fifaworldcup2026losangeleshotels.com, is identified as a crypto drainer scam designed to target cryptocurrency wallet holders. The site employs the Angel Drainer kit, a malicious toolkit known for draining funds from connected wallets by exploiting vulnerabilities in web3 authentication processes. Visitors lured to the domain under the pretense of booking accommodations for a major sporting event are prompted to connect their wallets, after which the drainer silently executes unauthorized transactions, transferring assets to attacker-controlled addresses. The threat is particularly insidious due to its use of social engineering, leveraging the high-profile event to create urgency and legitimacy.  Analysis indicates the domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, a registrar frequently exploited for malicious infrastructure due to its accessibility. The domain appears on 2 security blocklists, including PhishDestroy and OISD, and is flagged in 4 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX. VirusTotal detection metrics reveal that 6 out of 95 security vendors classify this domain as malicious, with infrastructure analysis identifying Nginx and OpenResty as the underlying technologies. The SSL certificate, issued by GoDaddy.com, further corroborates the domain's registration path but does not mitigate its malicious intent.  Users who visited fifaworldcup2026losangeleshotels.com should immediately disconnect any connected wallets and revoke permissions granted to the site via wallet management interfaces. It is critical to audit recent transactions for unauthorized activity and transfer remaining assets to a new, secure wallet. Additionally, affected users should scan their devices for malware, as crypto drainers may deploy secondary payloads. If financial loss occurred, report the incident to relevant authorities and provide transaction hashes for blockchain analysis. Proactive monitoring of wallet addresses and enabling transaction alerts can mitigate future risks.

## 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.
