Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, tv-hl.com, is actively impersonating HLTV.org, a well-known Counter-Strike 2 news and reporting platform, to conduct credential theft. Visitors to the site are likely to encounter a replica of the legitimate HLTV.org interface, designed to trick users into entering login credentials, personal information, or other sensitive data. The site may also prompt users to download malicious files disguised as game updates, mods, or news-related content. Given the domain's focus on a gaming community, the primary targets are likely Counter-Strike players, esports enthusiasts, and gaming journalists who frequent HLTV.org for legitimate content. Analysis indicates that tv-hl.com was registered on June 21, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with low-reputation domains. Despite its malicious intent, the domain has not yet been flagged by any of the 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting it may still be in the early stages of deployment or evading detection through obfuscation techniques. However, it has been identified in 2 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, indicating that some security researchers have already noted its suspicious activity. The domain currently resolves to the IP address 104.21.58.88, which may host additional malicious infrastructure or serve as a proxy to obscure the true origin of the attack. If you or someone you know has visited tv-hl.com, immediate action is required to mitigate potential risks. First, disconnect the device from the internet to prevent further data exfiltration or remote control by attackers. Run a full scan using up-to-date antivirus or endpoint detection tools to identify and remove any malware that may have been downloaded. If credentials were entered on the site, change them immediately for HLTV.org and any other accounts where the same username and password combination may have been reused. Monitor accounts for unusual activity, such as unauthorized logins or transactions, and enable multi-factor authentication where possible. Finally, report the domain to your organization's security team or to platforms like Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, or the Anti-Phishing Working Group to help prevent further victimization. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f9ae5edf661ea097cf0352cfa84afcc3 TLS cert SHA-256: 81086220cf5232b2f9b6d83d8ac4a1306108d56306921e73886582b4f1a3ebe8 ## 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/tv-hl.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tv-hl.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.
