## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-24 20:24:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This site, steamunlocked.monster, poses a threat as a potentially unsafe software distribution platform. Its domain name mimics the legitimate "Steamunlocked" brand, a known source for cracked games, indicating it may host malicious files or engage in phishing, leading to malware infection or credential theft.

Technical evidence shows VirusTotal flagged the site with 2 detections out of 95 scanners, specifically by CRDF and Gridinsoft. It appears on 1 blocklist. The domain is registered under Spaceship, Inc., with IP address 172.67.171.41. It was created on 2026-05-11, and its nameservers are itzel.ns.cloudflare.com and marvin.ns.cloudflare.com. The domain status is ACTIVE.

The site is currently active and poses a moderate risk. With only 2 vendor detections, it may bypass many security filters, but its association with a high-risk brand and blocklist presence warrants caution. Users should avoid interaction to prevent potential compromise.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260624-5065E0
Favicon MD5:       8a06f3772db07a28f94ba0aecac25d24
TLS cert SHA-256:      493428bafb11dc4855101222094446cb81e7004abca79354314f1342a4a70c28

## 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.
