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: 2024-03-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-22 23:28:56 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-22 21:49:47 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 00:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-23 00:01:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ef13b-29d5-7200-82c8-917797aa43af/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/9c9ffdc5-0faa-4125-9324-a30407fb64c4 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/sofiworldcup.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.sofiworldcup.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=sofiworldcup.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/sofiworldcup.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/sofiworldcup.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-23 00:00:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain sofiworldcup.com has been identified as a high-risk generic phishing threat that impersonates the official World Cup 2026 ticket and hospitality platform. This domain is currently active and poses a significant danger to users seeking legitimate tickets, hotels, and VIP packages for the tournament. PhishDestroy classifies this as a generic phishing campaign due to its deceptive page title and lack of association with any authorized seller. Analysis reveals that sofiworldcup.com was created on March 10, 2024, and is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC. VirusTotal data shows that 1 out of 95 security vendors flagged this domain as malicious, indicating a low initial detection rate that may increase as more vendors analyze it. The domain resolves to IP address 15.197.225.128, which is associated with AWS hosting, a common choice for phishing infrastructure due to its ease of deployment and scalability. Despite the low blocklist count, the domain's recent creation, suspicious title, and lack of legitimate brand affiliation strongly suggest malicious intent. Given its active status and high risk level, users should exercise extreme caution and avoid interacting with sofiworldcup.com. No legitimate World Cup 2026 ticket sales would be conducted through this unverified domain. PhishDestroy recommends that users only purchase tickets and hospitality packages from official FIFA-authorized channels and report any suspicious sites to relevant authorities. If you have already visited or provided personal or financial information on this domain, contact your bank and credit monitoring services immediately. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260622-C1F8A3 Favicon MD5: 0e1722dd05810bb995f4ea0109e02a8b TLS cert SHA-256: fd91e1339bced1953ecd752075b490ef6d6aacb9008a772006ad3634d3ec085d ## 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/sofiworldcup.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sofiworldcup.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.
