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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:20:26 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-26 23:20:26 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-08-01 08:21:15 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 15:24:05 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019994a8-de54-7248-b172-bbab1c66686c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/0bfba389-eb0c-47f3-b4e5-af1fc919177a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/qrtn.jp crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.qrtn.jp Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=qrtn.jp AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/qrtn.jp URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/qrtn.jp/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-13 00:46:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is qrtn.jp a KADOKAWA QR phishing scam site? Analysis of qrtn.jp indicates a high-risk phishing domain targeting users through QR code and URL shortening services under the guise of KADOKAWA, a known Japanese media brand. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, and remains active as of July 12, 2026. It resolves to IP 52.199.127.131 (AS16509, Amazon.com, Inc., located in Japan) and employs Cloudflare for hosting, alongside Amazon Web Services infrastructure. The page title explicitly references KADOKAWA's QR code and short URL service, suggesting an attempt to impersonate or misuse the brand's identity. Technical indicators reveal the domain is flagged by 2 security blocklists and appears in 2 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses, reinforcing its malicious classification. One of 93 security vendors on VirusTotal has detected the domain as malicious, though the limited detection rate does not diminish its risk given corroborating evidence. The domain uses a 301 HTTP redirect, a common tactic to obscure final destinations or distribute malicious payloads. SSL certification is provided by Amazon RSA 2048 M02, a standard but not inherently trustworthy certificate authority in this context. Defenders should treat qrtn.jp as an active threat. Block the domain and its resolving IP at perimeter security controls. Monitor for connections to 52.199.127.131 or attempts to access the domain, particularly in environments where QR code or URL shortening services are utilized. The exact phishing mechanism remains unconfirmed due to lack of detailed page analysis, but the combination of brand impersonation, recent registration, and security vendor detections justifies immediate containment. No evidence suggests this domain is legitimate or safe for user interaction. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: f3cda5368c4550f4c868daabaa222ad35fd7a76af5907b790a7bf620273a8490 ## 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/qrtn.jp/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=qrtn.jp 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.
