quaestort.live Generic Phishing Alert

On July 27, 2026, the domain quaestort.live is observed as an active generic phishing infrastructure. Registration data shows the domain was created through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used by legitimate enterprises, which may be intended to lend credibility. The authoritative name servers are ns911b.microsoftinternetsafety.net and ns911a.microsoftinternetsafety.net, suggesting the DNS records are hosted on infrastructure associated with Microsoft‑related services, a pattern seen in other malicious campaigns that leverage reputable DNS providers to evade simple reputation checks. HTTP probing returns a 302 status code, indicating the site forwards visitors to another location.

The redirect target has not been captured in the available intelligence, so the final landing page cannot be confirmed at this time. The domain is currently listed on one security blocklist and has been blocked by the PhishDestroy sinkhole, providing early containment evidence. VirusTotal scans show 18 of 91 security vendors flag the domain as malicious, reinforcing the suspicion of phishing use despite a minority of scanners reporting clean.

Given the limited public footprint, uncertainty remains around the exact phishing payload, the targeted brand, and the hosting IP address, none of which are disclosed in the current dataset. Defenders should add quaestort.live to URL filtering rules, monitor DNS queries for the listed Microsoft‑based name servers, and ensure that any redirect observed in network traffic is blocked. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the hosting environment may change and additional detections could appear in future VirusTotal or blocklist updates.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      47cf9d52720eb8cb1e973f7b0172ae325cb45aaff2c29221b976968b02f882e6

## 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.
