## 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 01:12:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies fbigovquantum.com.qfsreset.com as a generic phishing domain attempting to deceive users by mimicking the official FBI site. The domain’s page title reads "Welcome to fbi.gov — FBI," aiming to lend legitimacy and trick visitors into compromising sensitive information. This classification is based on observed impersonation tactics common in credential phishing attacks.

This domain was registered on April 18, 2025, via Tucows Domains Inc. It resolves to the IP address 198.12.66.123 and has appeared on at least one security blocklist. Notably, VirusTotal scans indicate zero detections, suggesting it is either newly created or designed to evade current detection engines. The inclusion of "qfsreset.com" in the domain hints at a subdomain-based structure often used in abuse campaigns.

Currently, the domain is offline, reflecting a proactive takedown or natural expiration after initial detection. PhishDestroy encourages continued vigilance and advises users to report suspicious activity linked to this domain. While the risk level remains under investigation, the presence on blocklists and impersonation elements warrants caution to prevent potential credential theft or other phishing-related harm.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       54f6653a149c83b73515cc2ec032a18151b57d3ffe97ef04495ce6623e48d1bb

## 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.
