Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an elevated-risk brand impersonation threat specifically targeting QTUM, a blockchain platform. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate QTUM resources, likely to deceive users into downloading malicious software or divulging sensitive credentials under false pretenses. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain qtumdestopinstall.xyz was registered on May 09, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to the IP address 64.29.17.65 and is associated with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. Detection metrics show 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flag the domain as malicious, while Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100. The domain appears on two security blocklists, including PhishDestroy and OISD, and is referenced in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse. The page title, 'QTUM,' further corroborates the intent to impersonate the legitimate brand. Mitigation against this brand impersonation threat involves verifying the authenticity of any QTUM-related downloads or communications. Users should cross-reference official QTUM channels for legitimate software distributions and avoid interacting with unsolicited links or attachments. Network-level protections, such as blocking the domain and its associated IP (64.29.17.65), can prevent access to the malicious infrastructure. Security teams are advised to monitor for similar impersonation patterns, particularly domains registered through high-risk registrars or resolving to suspicious IPs. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 6/92 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9f504444f85a5af2eef9264b02ae40be TLS cert SHA-256: e279d28a1714acd917f0731cfda0a8da1ef2ffe8b33ef5de667d3e350b008e40 ## 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/qtumdestopinstall.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=qtumdestopinstall.xyz 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.
