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: 2024-03-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-22 23:27:36 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-22 21:43:49 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 20:20:35 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/019ef139-bc9f-71af-8d54-93f0803d4cfb/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e6f4a94a-db5d-426d-bc73-73fadd013200 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/hardrockworldcup.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.hardrockworldcup.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=hardrockworldcup.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/hardrockworldcup.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/hardrockworldcup.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:33:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, hardrockworldcup.com, was actively impersonating official FIFA World Cup 2026 ticketing and hospitality services to conduct credential theft. The site presented itself as a legitimate vendor offering tickets, hotels, and VIP packages for the 2026 tournament, likely targeting fans seeking exclusive access. Analysis indicates the infrastructure was designed to harvest login credentials, payment details, or personal information under false pretenses, exploiting high-demand event interest to maximize victim engagement. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on March 10, 2024, through a widely used registrar and secured with a certificate issued by a major provider. It resolved to the IP address 64.29.17.195 and was flagged by 7 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate detection. The domain appeared on at least one security blocklist prior to being taken offline, and its page title explicitly referenced 'World Cup 2026 | Tickets, Hotels & VIP Packages,' reinforcing its fraudulent purpose. Users who visited hardrockworldcup.com should assume their credentials or payment information may have been compromised. Immediate actions include resetting passwords for any accounts entered on the site, monitoring financial statements for unauthorized transactions, and enabling multi-factor authentication where available. If payment details were submitted, affected individuals should contact their financial institution to request fraud alerts or card replacements. Given the domain’s offline status, further interaction is unlikely, but users should remain vigilant for follow-up phishing attempts via email or other channels. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260622-7E9DE8 Favicon MD5: 0e1722dd05810bb995f4ea0109e02a8b TLS cert SHA-256: 651f322dde06453323fb98626694711a3b10c24871db4ec19582fa37eee579b2 ## 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/hardrockworldcup.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hardrockworldcup.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.
