# PhishDestroy threat dossier — quarexbit.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 12:35:39 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/quarexbit.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 89/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: Ethereum ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.148.152 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Web Commerce Communications Limited Nameservers: ["gail.ns.cloudflare.com", "langston.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Buy & Sell Bitcoin, Ethereum | Cryptocurrency Exchange | QUAREXBIT ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-05-14 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 4d2b8c5a3c80edcd12cc7a56a31c62ae2d28e0505a661c148b0e1bc920df12da ## 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 23:21:47 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-17 13:11:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0198328e-8756-757c-b88d-a8889e1f3f68/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/quarexbit.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.quarexbit.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=quarexbit.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/quarexbit.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/quarexbit.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:59:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies quarexbit.com as a brand impersonation domain targeting Ethereum users. Although the risk level is assessed as low, the site attempted to mimic a cryptocurrency exchange platform, potentially misleading users into fraudulent transactions or data theft. Brand impersonation remains a significant threat in the crypto space due to the high value of assets involved. The domain quarexbit.com was registered on February 21, 2026, through Web Commerce Communications Limited and resolved to the IP address 172.67.148.152. The site featured a page titled "Buy & Sell Bitcoin, Ethereum | Cryptocurrency Exchange | QUAREXBIT" but has since been taken offline. It appeared on one security blocklist and was flagged by 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating limited but notable suspicion. Users are advised to avoid interacting with quarexbit.com or any suspicious domains mimicking Ethereum. Always verify URLs and access exchanges through official channels. Employ updated security tools and remain vigilant against phishing attempts to protect cryptocurrency assets and personal information. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 4d2b8c5a3c80edcd12cc7a56a31c62ae2d28e0505a661c148b0e1bc920df12da ## 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/quarexbit.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=quarexbit.com 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.
