# PhishDestroy threat dossier — vctplay.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-27 09:57:03 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/vctplay.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 60/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Giveaway ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/94 security vendors flagged this domain ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 186.2.171.13 (BZ, Belmopan) ASN: AS59692 IQWeb FZ-LLC Hosting org: Iqweb LLC Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["ns01.serverspace.io", "ns02.serverspace.io"] Registered: 2026-04-22 Page title: VCT Roulette Giveaway - OFFICIAL VCT EVENT ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-20 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: cf7ef1103beb45823b65729ad2ecac37944914ab017427fe9586b97946b537f3 ## 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: 2026-04-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-22 23:56:48 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-22 20:57:47 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-25 01:42:21 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 02:14:14 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019db6fa-2a13-7088-aff9-3bef913a56bb/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/06c511e2-33b0-4fb9-ac4c-c3471839c46c Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vctplay.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vctplay.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vctplay.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vctplay.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vctplay.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-22 23:57:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies vctplay.com as an active phishing domain posing as a Valorant gaming giveaway hub to harvest login credentials and payment details. The site has already begun redirecting unsuspecting gamers to credential-harvesting forms that mimic official Riot Games or Valorant login pages. Once credentials are entered, they are exfiltrated to attacker-controlled servers while the user is redirected to a benign page, delaying detection and increasing dwell time for further abuse. This domain was flagged with 0 detections out of 95 VirusTotal engines as of seed 440937, indicating it has not yet been widely blacklisted despite its active status. Registrant records show ownership through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently abused for bulletproof hosting. The domain was created on April 20, 2026, and currently resolves to IP address 186.2.171.13, which is linked to a cluster of known gaming-themed phishing domains. Its Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate adds false legitimacy, tricking users into believing the site is secure. If you visited vctplay.com or entered any information on the site, immediately change your Valorant/Riot Games password using an unrelated device. Enable two-factor authentication if not already active. Use a password manager to generate and store strong, unique passwords. Scan your system with updated antivirus software to detect any installed malware. Report the domain to your email provider and gaming platform. Avoid clicking any links or downloading files from this domain or related URLs. Always verify gaming giveaways directly through official Riot Games channels. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260422-F37B2B Favicon MD5: 87729b4cf82eaf53daf6821b618a9ed9 TLS cert SHA-256: cf7ef1103beb45823b65729ad2ecac37944914ab017427fe9586b97946b537f3 ## 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/vctplay.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vctplay.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.
