# PhishDestroy threat dossier — worldcup26la.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 22:09:34 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/worldcup26la.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 80/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 64.29.17.67 (US, Seattle) ASN: ASAS16509 AMAZON-02 - Amazon.com, Inc., US Hosting org: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc.

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 23:29:43 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-22 21:53:47 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 20:20:36 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/019ef13c-0847-71bf-a8ef-408da6300499/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/70d0b7d6-8a10-4c73-9e87-f779cd92e531 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/worldcup26la.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.worldcup26la.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=worldcup26la.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/worldcup26la.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/worldcup26la.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:33:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, worldcup26la.com, operates as a fraudulent platform impersonating legitimate 2026 FIFA World Cup ticket and hospitality services. Analysis indicates the site presents itself as an authorized vendor for event tickets, hotels, and VIP packages, exploiting the high demand for the upcoming tournament. The primary threat involves financial fraud, where victims are lured into submitting payment details for non-existent or counterfeit tickets, resulting in unauthorized transactions and potential identity theft. Additionally, the site may distribute malware or harvest credentials through fake login portals, further compromising user security. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on March 10, 2024, through a widely used registrar, and currently resolves to the IP address 64.29.17.67. Security validation shows the domain is flagged by 6 out of 95 engines on a major threat intelligence platform, with one confirmed entry on a security blocklist. The SSL certificate, issued by a common certificate authority, provides minimal assurance of legitimacy, as phishing sites frequently leverage valid certificates to appear trustworthy. The page title, 'World Cup 2026 | Tickets, Hotels & VIP Packages,' directly mimics official branding to deceive users. Users who visited worldcup26la.com should immediately cease all interactions and avoid entering any personal or financial information. If payments were made, affected individuals should contact their financial institution to report fraudulent transactions and request chargebacks. Devices used to access the site should undergo a full security scan to detect potential malware infections. Credentials entered on the site must be considered compromised and should be reset across all platforms where reused. Monitoring for unauthorized activity on financial accounts and credit reports is strongly advised for at least the next 90 days. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260622-26260A Favicon MD5: 0e1722dd05810bb995f4ea0109e02a8b TLS cert SHA-256: 98e8748e7d0f0da1cf96fe9df072102d4f3e3f2c64900befba7405845985e2d1 ## 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/worldcup26la.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=worldcup26la.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.
