# PhishDestroy threat dossier — help.valverestore.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 13:47:24 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/help.valverestore.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 53/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 7/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, G-Data, Gridinsoft, MalwareURL, SOCRadar, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 192.142.45.220 (NL, Amsterdam) ASN: AS214036 Ultahost, Inc. Hosting org: Ultahost Inc Registrar: Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — Trustname / Fewmoretaps OU !!! Trustname (IANA #4318) is a shell company declaring EUR 120 annual revenue, 1 employee, negative equity, Belarusian ownership. Explicitly advertises itself as 'bulletproof' in its DNS TXT records. Primary source: https://phishdestroy.io/trustname-bulletproof-exposed Nameservers: dave.ns.cloudflare.com, wren.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-23 Expires: 2027-05-23 HTTP response: 404 ## 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: 2026-05-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 12:01:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 10:05:24 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 12:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-28 12:17:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0dad-3f77-7198-9c9f-2be7faa47eec/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/d0e1a4d6-e4db-43f1-9fd2-c709ab6d1980 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/help.valverestore.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.help.valverestore.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=help.valverestore.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/help.valverestore.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/help.valverestore.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 19:05:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, help.valverestore.com, is identified as a phishing infrastructure specifically designed to impersonate Steam's account recovery or support portal. Analysis indicates the site likely presented fraudulent login interfaces, password reset prompts, or verification pages mimicking Valve Corporation's official services. The objective appears to be the unauthorized harvesting of user credentials, payment details, or authentication tokens associated with Steam accounts, which could lead to account takeovers, financial fraud, or further exploitation through social engineering. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators supporting this classification. The domain was registered on May 23, 2026, through Fewmoretaps OU operating under Trustname.com, a registrar frequently associated with low-reputation domains. At the time of assessment, 7 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, while two independent security blocklists have listed it for phishing activity. The site resolved to the IP address 192.142.45.220 and employed a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, a common tactic to lend superficial legitimacy to fraudulent pages. The domain has since been taken offline, though residual risk remains for users who may have interacted with it. Users who visited help.valverestore.com or entered credentials on any page associated with this domain should take immediate remedial action. First, reset passwords for Steam and any other accounts where identical credentials may have been reused. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) using app-based or hardware tokens, avoiding SMS-based verification where possible. Review account activity for unauthorized transactions, game purchases, or changes to security settings. If financial information was submitted, monitor bank statements and credit reports for signs of fraudulent activity. Consider revoking active sessions and re-authenticating trusted devices. Organizations should update endpoint protection rules to block the domain and associated IP, and notify affected users if this infrastructure was encountered in corporate environments. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-C1F2A3 Favicon MD5: 231913fdebabcbe65f4b0052372bde56 ## 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/help.valverestore.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=help.valverestore.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.
