Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is equest.world a Crypto Phishing Scam Site? Analysis of the domain equest.world indicates it is an active high-risk phishing site targeting cryptocurrency users. Registered on June 27, 2026, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, the domain remains operational as of July 22, 2026. Infrastructure analysis reveals it resolves to the IP address 2.24.198.130, with nameservers ns65.domaincontrol.com and ns66.domaincontrol.com, both associated with GoDaddy’s hosting infrastructure. The domain is currently flagged by three security blocklists: PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, which classify it as a phishing threat. No detections were reported by the 95 vendors in the most recent VirusTotal scan, though the absence of detections does not confirm safety and may reflect delayed or incomplete coverage. The domain’s registration details and hosting provider align with patterns observed in cryptocurrency-focused phishing campaigns, though the exact content or targeted brand has not been independently verified. Defenders are advised to treat equest.world as malicious based on its presence on multiple blocklists and its association with known phishing indicators. Network-level blocking of the IP 2.24.198.130 and domain-level filtering are recommended to mitigate potential credential theft or wallet-draining attacks. Further investigation into the site’s content and backend infrastructure is warranted to determine the specific phishing kit or targeted platform, though no such details are currently available in public threat feeds. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260722-F8CB07 Favicon MD5: c5912945e9ff690ed8eac5a43c472665 TLS cert SHA-256: 8bb9a8fdb4b4f8b354a61cd07868d1af724b1beecc2abb64bed009028974344f ## 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/equest.world/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=equest.world 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.
