Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies qfsassetsphrasebackup.com as a low-risk phishing domain impersonating a backup service. The site aims to deceive users into submitting sensitive information through a fake interface titled "qfsassets-backup". The domain was registered via Cosmotown, Inc. and resolves to IP 208.98.35.172. It appears on four security blocklists, although only one security vendor flagged it on VirusTotal. The domain was created on April 3, 2025. Currently, qfsassetsphrasebackup.com is offline, reducing immediate risk. Users are advised to avoid any interaction with this domain and report suspicious backup service communications. Maintaining updated security software and cautious browsing habits remain essential. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855 TLS cert SHA-256: 768b55b215abbe9a30874638c6561cc43c7e15edfbdde3439700e5b0d0cdec9d ## 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/qfsassetsphrasebackup.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=qfsassetsphrasebackup.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.
