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: 2026-06-23 00:25:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-22 23:34:43 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-23 03:04:24 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ef16e-7e71-7041-946a-de7af2e25c67/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/6a04727e-3a76-456a-91a3-fade6eb271c0 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/worldcup26nrg.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.worldcup26nrg.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=worldcup26nrg.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/worldcup26nrg.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/worldcup26nrg.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-23 09:52:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The website worldcup26nrg.com claims to offer tickets, hotels, and VIP packages for the 2026 World Cup, as indicated by its page title. This is a typical scam theme, likely designed to collect financial information or payments from users seeking event-related services. The site poses a threat by impersonating legitimate ticket and travel vendors for a major sporting event. Technical analysis reveals that 5 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors flagged the domain as malicious, including alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Fortinet, G-Data, and SOCRadar. The domain is registered with GoDaddy.com, LLC, and was created on March 10, 2024. Its IP address is 216.198.79.3, hosted in the United States under AS16509 (Amazon.com, Inc.). The SSL certificate is issued by GoDaddy Secure Certificate Authority - G2. The domain has one blocklist entry and uses nameservers ns71.domaincontrol.com and ns72.domaincontrol.com. The site is currently offline or down. With a domain risk score of 63, it is assessed as a moderate-to-high threat. Given its impersonation of a high-profile event, the domain represents a clear risk for fraud and should be blocked or monitored. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260622-B1DF25 Favicon MD5: 0e1722dd05810bb995f4ea0109e02a8b TLS cert SHA-256: 489ba99a5ec22b6a08ea7eec751b545a141c0830fd8bffd0d3221cefca2dac98 ## 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/worldcup26nrg.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=worldcup26nrg.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.
