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: 2026-04-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-22 23:25:52 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-22 21:41:58 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-18 12:20:44 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-23 00:01:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ef138-9838-722c-b9bb-bd96b463c7ad/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/70c41f96-ba33-48ae-a8e1-e521f3d53a4d Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/focus-2026worldcup.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.focus-2026worldcup.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=focus-2026worldcup.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/focus-2026worldcup.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/focus-2026worldcup.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:33:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is focus-2026worldcup.com a Brand Impersonation Scam? Analysis of focus-2026worldcup.com indicates a brand impersonation campaign consistent with generic phishing objectives. The observed page title presented itself as an official 2026 World Cup betting platform, a tactic commonly used to create false legitimacy and attract user interaction. No drainer kit information was identified in the available intelligence. At the time of assessment, the infrastructure had already been taken offline. Technical indicators provide multiple signals of malicious classification. VirusTotal records detections from 9 of 95 security vendors. Registration records show the domain was created on April 02, 2026 and registered through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown. DNS resolution associated the domain with IP address 45.203.120.12. The site utilized a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. Intelligence sources show appearance on 2 security blocklists, with listings attributed to PhishDestroy and OISD. Current status tracking indicates the domain has been taken offline. Although the infrastructure is no longer active, historical indicators suggest it was used in a phishing context involving deceptive branding and misleading claims of official affiliation. Security teams should maintain block entries for the domain, preserve logs and DNS artifacts related to 45.203.120.12, and review any historical connections from managed assets. Users who interacted with the site should evaluate account activity, credentials, and submitted information for potential exposure. Continued monitoring for lookalike domains, reused hosting infrastructure, and newly registered variants is recommended because operators frequently migrate campaigns after takedown events. Residual risk remains elevated due to the possibility of infrastructure reuse and related domain registrations. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260622-EF9F7E Favicon MD5: 2dad632a14848103a0e40a8968dabdd5 TLS cert SHA-256: 6770541ffeef4746b50b0a37a415b843eb2b6da1a8c264109d8300b1f5729329 ## 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/focus-2026worldcup.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=focus-2026worldcup.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.
