## INFRASTRUCTURE

Registered:      2026-02-21
Page title:      www.roblox.com.by

## 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 00:59:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified roblox.com.by as a malicious domain actively impersonating the popular gaming brand Roblox. This type of threat is significant because it exploits the trust users place in well-known brands, potentially leading to credential theft, malware distribution, or financial fraud. Users seeking to access authentic Roblox services may be deceived into visiting this fraudulent site, putting their personal information and devices at risk.

The domain roblox.com.by was registered on February 21, 2026, and currently remains active. It has been flagged by 17 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on at least one known security blocklist, underscoring its suspicious nature. Additionally, it has been reported in four AlienVault OTX pulses, indicating ongoing monitoring by threat intelligence communities. The page title closely mimics the legitimate Roblox site, further enhancing its potential to mislead victims.

Users should exercise caution and avoid interacting with roblox.com.by. It is advisable to verify URLs carefully before entering any credentials or personal information. Security teams should consider adding this domain to their blocklists and monitor internal traffic for any access attempts. Maintaining updated antivirus and leveraging browser protections can help mitigate exposure to this high-risk brand impersonation threat.

## 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.
