# PhishDestroy threat dossier — login.gateways.quest ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 14:43:21 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/login.gateways.quest/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 9/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, CRDF, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, Netcraft, SOCRadar, URLQuery URLQuery: 3 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 45.128.119.34 (RO, Bucharest) ASN: AS51177 TIPZOR MEDIA SRL Hosting org: Tipzor Media SRL Registrar: DYNADOT LLC Nameservers: ns1.dyna-ns.net, ns2.dyna-ns.net Registered: 2026-05-13 Expires: 2027-05-13 HTTP response: 502 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none 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: 2026-05-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-04 12:12:58 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-04 10:14:03 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 16:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-04 12:17:26 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f2c9d-0f45-74ed-aa59-c820d668a743/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/a3b79487-4baa-4bd6-bb0c-2eb590f25344 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/login.gateways.quest crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.login.gateways.quest Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=login.gateways.quest AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/login.gateways.quest URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/login.gateways.quest/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-04 12:14:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain login.gateways.quest is currently active and engaged in credential theft operations targeting user login credentials. Analysis indicates this infrastructure is designed to harvest sensitive authentication details, posing a direct risk to individuals and organizations. No specific brand impersonation has been confirmed, but the domain mimics generic login portals to deceive victims. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on May 13, 2026, through DYNADOT LLC, a registrar frequently associated with malicious activity. It resolves to the IP address 45.128.119.34, which has been linked to other suspicious domains in recent threat reports. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites due to its accessibility. As of the latest scan, the domain is flagged by 2 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating limited but growing detection. No additional blocklist entries or trust scores have been recorded, though this may change as awareness increases. The domain remains active and operational, with no signs of takedown or mitigation efforts. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with login.gateways.quest or entering credentials on any page hosted under this domain. Organizations should block the domain and its resolving IP at the network level to prevent access. Security teams are encouraged to monitor for connections to 45.128.119.34 and investigate any internal systems that have communicated with this infrastructure. Regular updates to endpoint protection and phishing awareness training are recommended to mitigate similar threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260704-9E74F1 ## 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/login.gateways.quest/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=login.gateways.quest 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.
