# PhishDestroy threat dossier — qouta-venice.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-02 02:54:24 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/qouta-venice.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: LevelBlue AlienVault OTX: 4 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Registered: 2026-06-06 Expires: 2027-06-06 Page title: Venice — Quota Desk ## 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: 2026-06-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-08 01:37:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-07 20:57:35 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 04:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-10 06:51:25 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ea3dd-d20d-756e-adf9-98e217b5e455/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/6f8521b0-2a4e-4744-a6e6-ff0eb2a0b8f7 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/qouta-venice.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.qouta-venice.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=qouta-venice.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/qouta-venice.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/qouta-venice.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 18:22:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, qouta-venice.com, is identified as an active phishing site designed to function as a crypto wallet drainer. The site impersonates a legitimate quota or desk management platform under the guise of 'Venice — Quota Desk,' luring users into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets. Once connected, the site executes unauthorized transactions, siphoning digital assets from victims' wallets without consent. The threat primarily targets users familiar with decentralized finance (DeFi) or wallet management interfaces, exploiting trust in branded or seemingly official platforms. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on June 06, 2024, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a registrar frequently associated with malicious domain registrations. As of the latest assessment, the domain is flagged by 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, a relatively low detection rate that may reflect evasion techniques or recent activation. Additionally, the domain appears on three independent security blocklists, including those maintained by cryptocurrency security and phishing detection communities. The page title, 'Venice — Quota Desk,' is consistent with tactics used to mimic legitimate service portals, further enhancing the deception. Users who have visited qouta-venice.com or interacted with its content should immediately disconnect any connected wallets and cease all engagement with the site. If wallet credentials or recovery phrases were entered, the affected wallet should be considered compromised, and all assets should be transferred to a new, secure wallet. It is also recommended to monitor transaction histories for unauthorized activity and report the domain to relevant security platforms for broader awareness. Given the high-risk classification and active status of this threat, vigilance and prompt action are critical to mitigating potential financial losses. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260607-9C0FDB Favicon MD5: e885e2bc625494272f4b91c812654bf1 ## 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/qouta-venice.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=qouta-venice.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.
