Nameservers: ["howard.ns.cloudflare.com", "nicole.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2025-06-04 Expires: 2026-06-04 Page title: KSM-QT ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: WE1 Status: INVALID chain ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2025-06-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:24:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-30 19:40:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-10 15:24:48 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01988698-edb7-756f-b830-d76c6b0ef9f6/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ksm-qt.top crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ksm-qt.top Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ksm-qt.top AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ksm-qt.top URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ksm-qt.top/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:48:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ksm-qt.top as a generic phishing domain impersonating the KSM-QT service. Classified as a high-risk threat, this domain aims to deceive users into divulging sensitive information through fraudulent means. The domain was registered recently on February 21, 2026, suggesting it is part of an ongoing phishing campaign leveraging the KSM-QT brand name. From a technical perspective, ksm-qt.top resolves to the IP address 172.67.132.182 and is flagged by 12 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate detection coverage. It is listed on five distinct security blocklists and is referenced in at least one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse, underscoring its malicious activity footprint. The page title “KSM-QT” aligns with the impersonated brand, likely to lend credibility to phishing attempts. Currently, ksm-qt.top remains active and continues to pose a significant risk to users. PhishDestroy advises caution and recommends blocking access to this domain. Users encountering this domain should refrain from entering any credentials or personal information and report the domain to their security teams or relevant authorities to mitigate potential harm. ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ksm-qt.top/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ksm-qt.top 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
