Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB Nameservers: anton.ns.cloudflare.com, maxine.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2023-10-24 Page title: Just a moment... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-07-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 4d125c4d90e94b83d9d46cb3eba8ae3782a1ed64ac0590a23519252805e01e36 ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2023-10-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-03 13:10:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-03 10:10:59 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-17 01:40:12 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-08 05:44:00 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ded50-3f65-7499-ade2-fdc344119149/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/7fdcf0f8-1ff7-4b3b-b431-c2844331d9a2 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/valorant-world.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.valorant-world.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=valorant-world.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/valorant-world.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/valorant-world.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-03 13:10:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies valorant-world.com as a malicious domain impersonating the popular game Valorant, operating as a generic phishing site designed to deceive users. This domain was flagged for elevated risk due to its active role in harvesting credentials and sensitive data under the guise of a gaming portal. The infrastructure suggests a coordinated effort to exploit player trust in the Valorant brand, leveraging deceptive domain naming to appear legitimate. This domain resolves to IP 188.114.97.3 and was registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB on October 24, 2023. VirusTotal analysis confirms a detection rate of 2 out of 95 security vendors, indicating low but persistent recognition of its malicious nature. The domain utilizes a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, adding a false layer of legitimacy. PhishDestroy’s blocklist assessment shows limited exposure so far, but the domain remains active and unblocked by major security vendors. The current status of valorant-world.com is active, with no known takedown or mitigation efforts. Users are advised to avoid interacting with this domain due to the elevated risk of credential theft and malware exposure. Security teams should flag this domain in corporate blocklists and monitor for associated IP traffic. Remaining risk is high, as the domain continues to evade widespread detection while exploiting gaming-related lures. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260503-2A203C Favicon MD5: a91c8ef5ab4eb49ef88f33fbaca5d5cc TLS cert SHA-256: 4d125c4d90e94b83d9d46cb3eba8ae3782a1ed64ac0590a23519252805e01e36 ## 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/valorant-world.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=valorant-world.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.
