No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-26 15:03:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-29 16:20:27 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-26 15:07:19 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] hqe.info Generic Phishing Campaign The domain hqe.info is currently active and serves as a generic phishing vector. Registration information shows it was created through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, and the authoritative name servers are ns1.above.com and ns2.above.com. An HTTP request returns a 200 OK status, indicating that a web service is reachable. VirusTotal analysis records two of ninety‑one participating security vendors marking the domain as malicious, reflecting limited but positive detection. The domain is listed on one external security blocklist and is explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service, confirming that at least one reputable anti‑phishing platform has taken mitigation action. No additional intelligence such as target brand, SSL certificate details, or hosting ASN is available in the current feed. Given the observable indicators, security teams should add hqe.info to DNS‑based deny lists, enforce URL filtering rules that block HTTP and HTTPS traffic to the host, and ensure that endpoint protection products receive the latest indicator updates from VirusTotal and other intelligence sources. Continuous monitoring of the name‑server pair ns1.above.com / ns2.above.com may reveal further domains that share the same infrastructure. Because only a minority of scanners have flagged the host, organizations that rely solely on automated reputation scores could miss the threat; manual verification of the blocklist entry and correlation with PhishDestroy alerts are recommended. The domain remains active as of 26 July 2026, and defenders should treat it as a high‑risk indicator until takedown or remediation is confirmed. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: a6f2165dbe4dca77f1ad1a489d48ded3de56a660885054d52e619735d1aa17df ## 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/hqe.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hqe.info 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.
