Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies btc-qrs.to as a high-risk generic phishing threat targeting cryptocurrency users. The domain posed as a Bitcoin QR code generator to deceive victims. This domain was registered in May 2024 through the Government of Kingdom of Tonga and flagged on one security blocklist. VirusTotal detected 15 out of 95 vendors marking it malicious, with a very low trust score from Gridinsoft and Scamadviser. It resolved to IP 45.12.2.86, indicating suspicious infrastructure. btc-qrs.to is currently offline, reducing immediate risk. Users should remain cautious of similar fraudulent domains and avoid interacting with untrusted Bitcoin-related sites. PhishDestroy recommends verifying site legitimacy before sharing sensitive information. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 7b14a6c59a439fca1305bd2939a77531 TLS cert SHA-256: 7cb538fb1c792e60e211964f709dc7c84e7fc7eaa5429ef4433210d1100f05bc ## 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/btc-qrs.to/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=btc-qrs.to 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.
