Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies citrea-quests.xyz as an active crypto drainer domain designed to siphon digital assets from unsuspecting victims. This high-risk threat remains operational, targeting users through deceptive smart contract interactions and fraudulent token claims. No legitimate brand affiliation has been confirmed, but the domain mimics crypto reward platforms to lure victims into connecting wallets and authorizing malicious transactions. This domain was flagged by 2 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating early detection but limited widespread awareness. It is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains, and currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), provides a false sense of security while the site actively harvests wallet credentials. Open-source intelligence reveals no historical blocklist entries, suggesting this is a recently deployed campaign with minimal prior exposure. As of the latest assessment, citrea-quests.xyz remains fully operational and poses a significant risk to cryptocurrency holders. Users are strongly advised to block the domain via browser extensions, firewall rules, or DNS-level filters. Wallet providers should revoke any suspicious smart contract approvals tied to this domain, and victims should immediately transfer remaining assets to a new, secure wallet. Organizations are encouraged to update threat intelligence feeds with the domain, IP, and associated indicators to prevent further exploitation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 3acd95960f06ab85a67fc0a6d73c6d5d8c9e493ba8a3a803d5f81024bf410371 ## 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/citrea-quests.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=citrea-quests.xyz 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.
