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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:06:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified ltc-qr.to as a high-risk generic phishing domain, masquerading as a Litecoin QR Code Generator. This classification is based on the domain’s deceptive use of cryptocurrency-related branding to lure victims into potential scams or credential theft. The domain was first registered on January 8, 2024, indicating recent malicious activity.

Technical analysis reveals that ltc-qr.to resolved to IP address 45.12.2.86 and was registered through the Government of Kingdom of Tonga. The domain appeared on six distinct security blocklists and was implicated in 15 AlienVault OTX threat pulses. VirusTotal scans flagged the domain by 16 out of 95 security vendors, reinforcing its malicious reputation within multiple threat intelligence communities.

Currently, ltc-qr.to is offline, which suggests an active takedown or self-removal following detection. Despite being inaccessible, the domain’s past presence and involvement in phishing activities warrant caution. Users and security professionals should avoid interacting with related infrastructure and maintain vigilance for derived phishing attempts linked to this domain.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       5dec0cd842ad44d11f9082a9af3348c40b853dc42103075f5e42fcc10d75e40d

## 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.
