# PhishDestroy threat dossier — worldcupvp.app ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-05 23:49:26 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/worldcupvp.app/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 88/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.158.248 (US, San Francisco) Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. 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: keaton.ns.cloudflare.com, oaklyn.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-14 Expires: 2027-06-14 Page title: worldcupvp.app ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-12 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 45b2e4389ea3cb0b2b3a7d79ba8f3bff3ff6f894a5aa93b9587c9989795b9d64 ## 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: 2026-06-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-20 22:25:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-06 00:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-21 18:17:32 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ee6b3-71f9-7729-b001-b0787808f8b6/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/worldcupvp.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.worldcupvp.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=worldcupvp.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/worldcupvp.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/worldcupvp.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:30:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, worldcupvp.app, is flagged as a generic phishing threat targeting users seeking VPN services related to the FIFA World Cup. The site mimics legitimate VPN offerings, likely aiming to capture login credentials, payment details, or distribute malware under the guise of a sports-related service. No specific drainer kit or brand impersonation has been confirmed, but the timing and naming convention suggest an attempt to exploit high-interest events for fraudulent purposes. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on June 14, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.158.248, hosted on Cloudflare's infrastructure (AS13335). VirusTotal reports 0/95 detections, indicating no antivirus engines have flagged the domain at the time of this report. However, it appears on one security blocklist, suggesting preliminary detection by at least one threat intelligence source. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), which does not inherently indicate malicious activity but is commonly used by both legitimate and fraudulent sites. The domain remains active and under investigation, with no takedown or sinkholing actions observed. Users are advised to block traffic to 172.67.158.248 and monitor for connections to worldcupvp.app in network logs. Given the low detection rate, organizations should treat this domain as a potential zero-day phishing threat and prioritize endpoint and email filtering rules to prevent access. Further analysis of the site's content and behavior is recommended to determine the exact payload or credential harvesting mechanism employed. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 45b2e4389ea3cb0b2b3a7d79ba8f3bff3ff6f894a5aa93b9587c9989795b9d64 ## 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 (operator 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/worldcupvp.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=worldcupvp.app 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
