Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies pubgevent.specialfors.com as an active credential-theft domain posing as a PUBG MOBILE EVENT lure. The page title reinforces the impersonation, while the SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services lends a false veneer of legitimacy. This domain was flagged by 16 of 95 VirusTotal scanners, indicating widespread suspicion among security vendors. This domain resolves to IP 172.67.204.63 and is registered through Aceville Pte. Ltd. with a creation date of January 23, 2026. Despite the recent registration, the domain has already been detected by multiple threat intelligence feeds, reflecting rapid uptake in malicious campaigns. The presence of a valid SSL certificate from a trusted issuer may deceive users into assuming safety, but the low trust score and high VT detection ratio contradict this perception. Mitigation for credential-theft domains like pubgevent.specialfors.com requires immediate avoidance of any data entry, including usernames, passwords, or payment details. Users should report the domain to their security teams or via threat-sharing platforms such as PhishDestroy or VirusTotal. Organizations are advised to block the domain at DNS and firewall levels using the IP and domain indicators provided. Always verify event URLs through official PUBG Mobile channels before interacting. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260421-56541C TLS cert SHA-256: 66ecf0d0d2350d82fd9bd065dbe1b6ea7bb7421794987d1da109f3f029cbb11c ## 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/pubgevent.specialfors.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pubgevent.specialfors.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.
