## 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

First reported:    2025-08-10 01:34:52 UTC (abuse notice filed)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:14:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies dcqef.com as a domain involved in generic phishing activities, posing a low-level risk to users. The domain’s page title 'defi-ETH' suggests a possible attempt to exploit interest in decentralized finance and Ethereum, aiming to trick users into revealing sensitive information or credentials. While the threat level is assessed as low, phishing attempts through such domains can lead to financial loss or data compromise if users are not vigilant.

The infrastructure behind dcqef.com shows it was registered recently on December 23, 2024, via eName Technology Co., Ltd. It has appeared on three separate security blocklists and was flagged in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse. VirusTotal scans indicate that 2 out of 95 security vendors have detected suspicious activity linked to this domain. The domain resolved to the IP address 104.21.32.1 but is currently offline, which limits the immediate risk of active phishing campaigns from this source.

Users are advised to remain cautious when encountering unfamiliar domains, especially those related to financial services or cryptocurrencies. Avoid clicking on suspicious links or providing personal information on untrusted websites. Regularly updating security software and checking domains against reputable blocklists can help prevent exposure to phishing threats like dcqef.com. If you have interacted with this domain recently, monitor your accounts for unusual activity and consider changing affected passwords.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       3daa9532902a56fd446e7dcd3203fc0c1f6bbb4d156cbca310398ecdf7259e8c
TLS cert SHA-256:      5df2b3f1dddeeab33562fdbb5163057cf2f77d9d2ff1fc23792f48b6e52d29fa

## 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.
