# PhishDestroy threat dossier — midasbuy-plus.officials-event.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-27 18:51:05 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/midasbuy-plus.officials-event.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 16/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, Criminal IP, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.9.188 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Dynadot LLC Nameservers: ["betty.ns.cloudflare.com", "leland.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2026-07-09 Page title: PUBG MOBILE HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-05-31 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 5dbb0ac56d81001039d5498201a68d658af9adf25b06f0133c1e700d65f6ce0c Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - officials-event.com ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-04 14:00:36 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-27 20:21:28 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 15:24:33 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. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c28d1-0c35-74b5-8b65-39a5f2c65786/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/eb44627e-0cbc-4213-a3db-85d3271a43bf Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/midasbuy-plus.officials-event.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.midasbuy-plus.officials-event.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=midasbuy-plus.officials-event.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/midasbuy-plus.officials-event.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/midasbuy-plus.officials-event.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:41:19 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is midasbuy-plus.officials-event.com a Fake PUBG Mobile Rewards The domain midasbuy-plus.officials-event.com is identified as a phishing site specifically targeting users of PUBG MOBILE through brand impersonation and fake reward schemes. Analysis confirms the domain is currently offline, though it previously hosted content designed to deceive visitors into disclosing account credentials or financial information under the guise of in-game rewards or promotions. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through Dynadot LLC, a registrar commonly utilized for both legitimate and malicious registrations. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.9.188, hosted on Cloudflare’s network (AS13335), which is frequently leveraged to obscure the true origin of phishing infrastructure. Security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, with 21 out of 95 engines detecting it as a phishing threat. Additionally, the domain appears on one security blocklist, further corroborating its malicious classification. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), a common certificate authority that does not inherently validate the legitimacy of the site’s content. Current status indicates the domain has been taken offline, likely following detection and mitigation efforts. Organizations and end users are advised to treat any prior interaction with this domain as compromised. Network administrators should block the domain and its resolved IP at the perimeter. Users who accessed the site should reset credentials for any associated accounts, particularly those linked to PUBG MOBILE or related payment platforms. Monitoring for unauthorized transactions or account activity is strongly recommended. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260204-7E03B4 TLS cert SHA-256: 5dbb0ac56d81001039d5498201a68d658af9adf25b06f0133c1e700d65f6ce0c ## 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/midasbuy-plus.officials-event.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=midasbuy-plus.officials-event.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.
