## 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

First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-03 08:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-03 16:00:51 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 17:11:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain kvartox.icu has been identified as a generic phishing threat and is currently offline. This domain does not appear to impersonate any specific brand, but its malicious intent is clear. 

 PhishDestroy identifies that kvartox.icu was flagged by 3 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, and it resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on April 29, 2026. The domain appears on 1 security blocklist and has an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services / WE1, which may have contributed to its initial credibility. 

 Given its current offline status, it is likely that the domain's malicious activities have been temporarily disrupted. However, users should remain cautious and avoid interacting with kvartox.icu if it becomes active again, as it may still pose a threat. To stay safe, users should be vigilant when clicking on links and providing personal information online, and they should ensure their devices and software are up to date with the latest security patches.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       5b16cc070f2f1f66e0cfefbcb267f70d
TLS cert SHA-256:      258ca1a1e50f766791518a68e4d89e7bfeba5f790d34d61b536d53a1d4d6c410

## 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.
