## 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: 2026-04-25 00:02:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies help.supportvalvepowered.com as an active crypto drainer phishing domain impersonating Valve's Steam Support infrastructure. The domain remains online with a status classified as under_investigation, indicating active malicious campaigns leveraging fake support channels to deceive users into surrendering cryptocurrency assets or credentials.  This domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to enhance legitimacy. Registered through Hello Internet Corp on March 17, 2026, it has not yet been flagged by any of 95 VirusTotal security vendors and shows no presence on common blocklists. Current trust scores remain neutral due to its recent creation and low detection rate, a tactic frequently exploited by threat actors to prolong operational windows before takedown.  Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with help.supportvalvepowered.com. Validate any support-related URLs directly through Valve's official Steam platform or trusted sources. Report this domain immediately via PhishDestroy to help disrupt ongoing campaigns. Proactive verification prevents credential compromise and financial loss.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       7204850560e39efe1510bdf38e09b2da
TLS cert SHA-256:      698c4575a1bc54d93df10d229480bdaba518b0d860c3fbaa6da77f118d0b36d4

## 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.
