# PhishDestroy threat dossier — primequotex.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-29 02:58:40 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/primequotex.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 68/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Social Media Phishing Targeted brand: bitfinex (and: htx, huobi, kraken, x.com) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 107.173.193.235 (US, Buffalo) ASN: ASAS36352 AS-COLOCROSSING, US Hosting org: AS36352 HostPapa Registrar: Web Commerce Communications Limited Nameservers: ns1.bthostcloud.com, ns2.bthostcloud.com Registered: 2025-07-10 Expires: 2026-07-10 Page title: Home | primequotex HTTP response: 530 ## 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: 2025-07-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-08-09 14:46:28 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-29 01:00:17 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01988ff0-cb3d-7047-b711-056f42d94b9c/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/primequotex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.primequotex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=primequotex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/primequotex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/primequotex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 02:17:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies primequotex.com as a domain linked to generic phishing activities, though it currently carries a low-risk rating. The domain's page title 'Home | primequotex' suggests an attempt to mimic legitimate services, potentially aiming to deceive users. While only minimally flagged, caution is advised when encountering this domain. Technical analysis reveals primequotex.com was registered on July 10, 2025, through the registrar WEBCC and resolves to IP address 107.173.193.235. It has appeared on one security blocklist and was detected by a single security vendor on VirusTotal, indicating limited but noteworthy suspicious activity. At present, the domain is offline and appears inactive, reducing immediate risk. Users and security teams should remain vigilant and continue to monitor for any reactivation or related phishing campaigns. It is recommended to block the domain proactively within network defenses and educate end users to avoid interacting with any content linked to primequotex.com. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: cc1c6f0d64eacd7550fad9b60f51b4e1c10832192d98d9c94d85ee271107c2dc ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/primequotex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=primequotex.com 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
