Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an elevated-risk phishing site specializing in brand impersonation, specifically targeting the FIFA World Cup 2026 event. Analysis indicates the domain was designed to deceive users seeking official event-related accommodations, likely harvesting credentials or payment details under the guise of legitimate booking services. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and hosted on a server running Nginx with OpenResty. The SSL certificate was issued by GoDaddy.com, Inc. At the time of detection, the domain was flagged by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appeared on 1 security blocklist. AlienVault OTX recorded the domain in 4 threat intelligence pulses, further corroborating its malicious nature. The domain has since been taken offline, though historical DNS records may still pose residual risks. Mitigation steps for this specific threat type include blocking the domain across all network security controls and monitoring for residual DNS queries. Organizations should alert employees and customers about fake event-related booking sites, particularly those impersonating major sporting events. Security teams are advised to review logs for connections to the domain between June 12, 2026, and its takedown date, focusing on credential submission or payment processing endpoints. If user interactions are suspected, initiate password resets and enable multi-factor authentication for affected accounts. ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/fifaworldcup2026seattlehotels.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fifaworldcup2026seattlehotels.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
