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: 2024-11-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-02 20:47:57 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-02 18:54:50 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 05:16:50 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-03 06:17:06 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f2427-f302-7297-8001-abab9cd205cf/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/4a628f1e-36e0-407c-9772-2d445fc644ac Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/connect.quantumsafex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.connect.quantumsafex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=connect.quantumsafex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/connect.quantumsafex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/connect.quantumsafex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-02 20:55:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain connect.quantumsafex.com is currently identified as a generic phishing threat and is still active. This domain impersonates the Flare Network and has potential implications for users interacting with it. Analysis indicates that the domain was created on November 09, 2024, and it is registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. The domain resolves to the IP address 163.61.188.2. As of now, it has not been flagged by any VirusTotal vendors, with a detection count of 0 out of 95. The SSL certificate for this domain is issued by Let's Encrypt. Due to its ongoing status and newly created nature, it is under investigation, warranting further monitoring for potential malicious activities. The current status indicates that the domain remains active, posing risks for users who may unknowingly engage with it. Recommendations include closely monitoring this domain along with its associated IP for any changes in behavior. Additionally, it is advised to implement robust user education programs focused on recognizing phishing threats and utilizing security tools that can detect and block access to such domains. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260702-0E4C76 Favicon MD5: e253fa0da735215c3390bc01d029574c TLS cert SHA-256: e1727b873af66c38cb3141a8ff8d158b4830a77c451bbbb9089d8a5040d9bcc6 ## 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/connect.quantumsafex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=connect.quantumsafex.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
