No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-13 01:01:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-13 12:00:15 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e1e33-9e0f-7762-8da0-b2e0b4a905ed/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/q48r8.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.q48r8.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=q48r8.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/q48r8.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/q48r8.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-13 01:02:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies q48r8.com as an active credential theft site disguised as a login portal. This domain was flagged on May 09, 2026, just days after registration through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. It resolves to IP 172.67.177.2 and currently evades detection with 0/95 VirusTotal scans flagging it. q48r8.com mimics legitimate login interfaces to steal user credentials. Attackers register deceptive domains like this one to harvest usernames and passwords under false pretenses. The domain's recent creation date (May 09, 2026) and clean VirusTotal score suggest this campaign is either very new or employs evasion tactics. SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt are commonly abused in phishing campaigns for credibility, as they appear legitimate at first glance. If you visited q48r8.com or entered any information, immediately change passwords on all accounts using the same credentials. Scan your devices for malware and monitor financial accounts for suspicious activity. Report the domain to your IT security team or using tools like Google Safe Browsing. Never reuse passwords across sites to prevent credential stuffing attacks. This domain poses an active threat to unsuspecting users and should be treated as hostile. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 8/92 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: ba0f5807fabd898304ddabebd2e2f2b4 TLS cert SHA-256: 0cb50009172089d90f285286716bc87182feafae4fcd38157c9a8f9b22491d9c ## 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/q48r8.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=q48r8.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.
