Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain gal.collect-quest.com has been identified as a phishing threat, which typically involves deceiving users into providing sensitive information such as login credentials or financial details. The site was initially set up using various technologies such as PHP and Plesk, indicating a potentially robust infrastructure capable of hosting malicious phishing schemes. Although currently offline, its previous activity poses a risk to users who may have interacted with it during its active state. Technical analysis of gal.collect-quest.com reveals several critical indicators of malicious use. The domain was flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting a recognized threat despite the majority not flagging it. It was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, with a creation date set in the future as May 30, 2026, which could imply a form of temporal manipulation or error. The domain was also blocked by known security entities, PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer, and appears on two security blocklists. These factors, combined with a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, underline the elevated risk associated with this domain. If you suspect you have visited gal.collect-quest.com or interacted with it in any form, it is crucial to take immediate action. Begin by performing a thorough security scan of your devices with up-to-date antivirus software to detect any potential malware infections. Monitor your accounts for any unauthorized transactions or access, and consider changing login credentials for any services you might have accessed during the time of exposure. Stay vigilant for phishing attempts and educate yourself on identifying such threats to enhance personal cybersecurity resilience. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 77dc5ed76d299a6640229b0cbd0de09514b94feaea614ec33c3befc219396133 ## 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/gal.collect-quest.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gal.collect-quest.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.
