# PhishDestroy threat dossier — governance-quant.network ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 02:22:27 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/governance-quant.network/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.198.202 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response.

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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 05:46:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-03 04:20:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1bc8-0b30-73aa-8597-dc39a40a9ad0/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/governance-quant.network crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.governance-quant.network Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=governance-quant.network AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/governance-quant.network URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/governance-quant.network/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 06:00:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, governance-quant.network, is flagged as a high-risk crypto drainer phishing operation designed to compromise cryptocurrency wallet credentials and execute unauthorized token transfers. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is actively targeting users through deceptive interfaces mimicking legitimate governance or DeFi platforms, tricking victims into signing malicious transactions that drain funds from connected wallets. The threat type is classified as a crypto drainer due to its direct financial exfiltration mechanism, rather than generic credential harvesting. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain is detected by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting early-stage detection with potential for evasion. It was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with bulletproof hosting and low-validation registration processes. The domain resolves to IP address 172.67.198.202, a Cloudflare-protected endpoint that obscures the true origin server. Notably, the domain was created on June 26, 2026—an anomalous future date that may indicate typosquatting, domain squatting, or a falsified registration record. No widespread blocklist inclusion is observed at this time, though the low vendor detection rate aligns with targeted or emerging campaigns. Trust scores from reputation engines remain neutral or negative, with no historical legitimacy signals. Mitigation requires immediate action from both end users and security teams. Users should block the domain at the DNS or network level and verify all transaction requests through official platform interfaces, never through embedded links. Wallet holders must revoke any suspicious smart contract approvals using tools like Etherscan or blockchain explorers, as drainers often persist even after initial compromise. Security teams should add the domain and IP to enterprise blocklists, monitor for HTTP requests to governance-quant.network in proxy logs, and correlate with known crypto drainer signatures. Given the future-dated registration, analysts should investigate related domains with similar naming patterns or registrar ties. Proactive hunting for wallet-draining JavaScript payloads in web cache or endpoint telemetry is recommended to identify compromised systems. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: acdf39557c90b89a43a669319f4842d4c386176f16458f011a21125b7a44b863 ## 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/governance-quant.network/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=governance-quant.network 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.
