## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:14:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies distribution-qubic.org as an active phishing domain associated with generic phishing tactics targeting unsuspecting users. The domain attempts to lure victims by presenting itself as a high-performance blockchain platform under the guise of "Fastest. Blockchain. Ever - 15.5M TPS | Qubic." Although its risk level is classified as low, users should remain cautious as phishing attempts can still lead to credential theft or other malicious outcomes.

From a technical standpoint, distribution-qubic.org resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and has been flagged on two security blocklists. The domain was registered recently on February 21, 2026, indicating it is a newly created asset potentially set up for short-term phishing campaigns. VirusTotal analysis shows that 2 out of 95 security vendors currently detect suspicious activity related to this domain, suggesting some level of emerging concern but not widespread detection yet.

At present, distribution-qubic.org remains active and continues to pose a threat to users who may be deceived by its blockchain-themed content. PhishDestroy strongly recommends avoiding any interaction with this domain, refraining from entering personal or financial information, and utilizing updated security solutions to block access. Monitoring this domain for changes in activity is advised as risk levels may evolve over time.

## 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.
