adsquiz.io Safety Check — Phishing Detected

Analysis of the domain adsquiz.io indicates potential phishing activity, with the domain currently active and serving HTTP status 200. The domain is listed on one security blocklist, which raises concerns regarding its legitimacy. As of the report date of July 19, 2026, the domain has been scanned by 91 vendors on VirusTotal, but none are currently flagging it. This absence of detection should not be interpreted as a confirmation of safety. Notably, the domain remains active, suggesting ongoing operation in the phishing landscape. PhishDestroy has successfully blocked access to this domain, highlighting its malicious potential. However, the specifics of the phishing tactics or targets associated with adsquiz.io are not detailed in the available intelligence. Security professionals are advised to monitor user reports related to this domain and implement preventive measures to block traffic and interactions with it until further analysis can confirm the extent of its phishing activities.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       193d5dfb825ee0bedae1b5387ec9a2bc
TLS cert SHA-256:      2003e9f7d025e1458eac9cdf3e145f94cec9cdd4eb817a9d947d3b448dc928b0

## 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.
