No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-27 22:13:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-28 12:20:27 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-27 22:14:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] pqembridge.run Safety Check — Phishing Detected Analysis as of July 27, 2026 indicates that the domain pqembridge.run is actively hosting a generic phishing campaign. The HTTP response observed during a probe returned a 302 redirect, a common technique used to forward victims to credential‑harvesting pages while evading simple URL checks. VirusTotal scans show that 15 out of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain, suggesting a moderate level of detection consensus among scanners. The domain is registered through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar often associated with legitimate brand protection services, but registration details alone do not mitigate the observed malicious behavior. Nameserver records point to ns911a.microsoftinternetsafety.net and ns911b.microsoftinternetsafety.net, which are publicly listed and do not provide any inherent trust signals. The domain is listed on one external security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service, confirming that at least one reputable anti‑phishing platform has identified it as malicious. Current activity monitoring shows the domain remains reachable and continues to return the redirect response, indicating that the phishing infrastructure is still operational. While the exact target brand, page title, or malicious payload has not been disclosed in the available data, the combination of redirection behavior, multi‑vendor detection, and blocklist inclusion establishes a high risk profile. Defenders should enforce outbound URL filtering for pqembridge.run, add the domain to internal blocklists, and monitor DNS queries for the associated nameservers. Incident response teams should also consider isolating any compromised credentials that may have been submitted to the redirected endpoint, and threat‑hunting efforts should include correlation of recent phishing emails that reference similar domains. Ongoing observation is recommended to capture any changes in hosting, SSL deployment, or additional vendor detections. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 57827fa88083035e2381d11a25a7825f58138a6d1a4c8d389c6a9b841720f4bd ## 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/pqembridge.run/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pqembridge.run 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.
