URLQuery:        2 detections
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE

Fingerprint: 569c89708f17acc95f812b8277e5ecf1e27eb1e80eb53e14a307f27abb83fd5f
Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):

## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-09 05:31:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-06-08 13:38:16 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-06-20 20:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-11 03:47:45 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-13 13:02:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies hkttxpayments.non-steam.com as a potential threat, specifically a brand impersonation site that may attempt to steal user credentials by masquerading as a legitimate Steam payment portal. 
   
This domain was flagged due to its suspicious behavior, with 10 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal detecting it as malicious, and its SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt/R13. The domain is currently offline, but its creation and registration through Danesco Trading Ltd. raise concerns about its legitimacy.

If a user visited hkttxpayments.non-steam.com, they should immediately change their Steam account password and enable two-factor authentication to prevent potential credential theft, and monitor their account activity for any suspicious transactions, as this domain's intent is to deceive and exploit Steam users, with a unique seed of 7cdb73 indicating a specific fraud pattern

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260608-74F17D
Favicon MD5:       231913fdebabcbe65f4b0052372bde56
TLS cert SHA-256:      569c89708f17acc95f812b8277e5ecf1e27eb1e80eb53e14a307f27abb83fd5f

## 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.
