# PhishDestroy threat dossier — play-reward-quest.click ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 08:33:41 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/play-reward-quest.click/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 94/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Dynadot, LLC Nameservers: aiden.ns.cloudflare.com, sierra.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2025-10-08 Expires: 2026-10-08 Page title: ацуауц HTTP response: 302 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-30 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 7f39e4e283d0cc8f8feba3e1b286bbfd1e46522ab7c9b764b371d35461117890 ## 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: 2025-10-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 16:30:54 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 08:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-24 18:19:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efa09-a589-763c-804a-6a45394267c3/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/play-reward-quest.click crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.play-reward-quest.click Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=play-reward-quest.click AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/play-reward-quest.click URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/play-reward-quest.click/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-12 17:25:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain play-reward-quest.click was registered on 08 Oct 2025 through Dynadot, LLC and is currently resolved to the Cloudflare edge address 188.114.97.3, which belongs to AS13335. The domain uses Cloudflare’s aiden.ns.cloudflare.com and sierra.ns.cloudflare.com name servers, and presents a TLS certificate issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 intermediate. The site returns an HTTP 302 response and the only visible page element is a title rendered as “ацуауц”, a non‑Latin string that provides no functional context. The site appears on one public phishing blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy. VirusTotal scans have flagged the domain in three out of ninety‑five engines, and the Gridinsoft trust score is reported as zero out of one hundred, indicating a high confidence of malicious intent. No additional infrastructure such as secondary IPs or alternate nameservers has been observed. These indicators align with the reported generic phishing classification. The combination of a recent registration, a generic reward‑oriented domain label, a non‑descriptive page title, and a forced redirect suggests the site is being used as a lure to capture credentials or deliver fraudulent content. The use of a reputable TLS issuer does not mitigate risk, as attackers frequently employ valid certificates to increase user trust. The limited detection footprint—only three AV flags and a single blocklist entry—leaves the exact payload unknown, and the content behind the redirect has not been captured publicly. Defenders should add play-reward-quest.click to URL filtering and DNS block lists, monitor for any outbound connections to the resolved IP, and inspect TLS handshake logs for the Google Trust Services certificate to detect potential abuse. Organizations employing email gateways should flag any messages containing this domain or similar reward‑themed URLs. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as future analysis may reveal additional malicious components. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: fa31bb6d0dee97b91997bad4696b52cf TLS cert SHA-256: 7f39e4e283d0cc8f8feba3e1b286bbfd1e46522ab7c9b764b371d35461117890 ## 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/play-reward-quest.click/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=play-reward-quest.click 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.
