# PhishDestroy threat dossier — quantum-dydxsyncvertex.online ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-17 09:41:24 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/quantum-dydxsyncvertex.online/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: dYdX ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 12/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Lionic, Sophos, VIPRE Public blocklists: listed on 6 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Dydx Reconnect ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: WE1 Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:20:54 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-07 03:06:03 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 08:39:44 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019a01e6-047d-75ca-b528-dae97c95ec2d/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/quantum-dydxsyncvertex.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.quantum-dydxsyncvertex.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=quantum-dydxsyncvertex.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/quantum-dydxsyncvertex.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/quantum-dydxsyncvertex.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:50:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies quantum-dydxsyncvertex.online as an active phishing domain engaged in brand impersonation targeting dYdX users. Classified under brand impersonation, this domain mimics the dYdX platform and uses the page title 'Dydx Reconnect' to deceive visitors into divulging sensitive information. Technical analysis reveals that quantum-dydxsyncvertex.online was registered on February 21, 2026, and resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3. It is currently listed on six security blocklists and flagged by 12 out of 95 VirusTotal antivirus engines, indicating a strong consensus on its malicious intent. The domain’s infrastructure and branding closely mimic the legitimate dYdX service, increasing the risk of successful credential theft and fraud. As of now, quantum-dydxsyncvertex.online remains active and continues to pose a high risk to users attempting to access dYdX services. PhishDestroy recommends users avoid engaging with this domain and ensure they access dYdX only through official channels. Security professionals should maintain updated blocklists and monitor related activity to mitigate potential damage from this phishing threat. ## 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/quantum-dydxsyncvertex.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=quantum-dydxsyncvertex.online 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.
