Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] qr.codes is currently active and has been observed in multiple threat intel feeds. The domain is registered through NameCheap, Inc. on September 9, 2015 and is hosted on the IP address 188.114.96.3, which is served by Cloudflare name servers mary.ns.cloudflare.com and pete.ns.cloudflare.com. AlienVault OTX references the domain in 50 separate pulses, indicating repeated use in malicious campaigns. VirusTotal analysis shows that 6 of 91 security vendors flag the domain, suggesting a non‑trivial detection rate. The infrastructure points to a cloud‑based hosting environment, but no additional attribution such as ASN or geographic location is disclosed in the available data. The exact payload or impersonated brand has not been publicly documented, so the specific victim‑targeting tactics remain uncertain. Defenders should add the domain to block lists, monitor DNS queries for the 188.114.96.3 address, and correlate any alerts with the 50 OTX pulses to identify potential phishing attempts. Continuous re‑scanning with sandbox and URL reputation services is advised to capture any evolving malicious content. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260715-F93870 TLS cert SHA-256: 192a5ca20d8e7ed290c2585bb2e25931947c5a3a4d3cef0a2684111a88ed0e48 ## 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/qr.codes/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=qr.codes 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.
