Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] quest-38.com — Phishing Campaign Investigation Report The domain quest-38.com was registered on June 21, 2026 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and is presently active. Its authoritative name servers are guss.ns.cloudflare.com and sneh.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating use of Cloudflare’s DNS infrastructure. DNS resolution points to IP address 172.67.135.189, a Cloudflare edge node commonly leveraged for fast content delivery and, in malicious contexts, for hiding true server locations. VirusTotal analysis shows that three of ninety‑five scanned security vendors flagged the domain, suggesting the presence of malicious payloads or phishing indicators, though the specific detection signatures were not disclosed. The domain is listed on a single security blocklist and has been blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service, reinforcing its classification as a high‑risk phishing vector. While the available intelligence confirms the domain’s recent creation, Cloudflare‑based hosting, and partial vendor detections, the exact phishing content, targeted brand, and any associated command‑and‑control infrastructure remain unverified. Defenders should add quest-38.com to URL filtering and sink‑hole rules, monitor DNS queries to the Cloudflare name servers, and enforce multi‑factor authentication for any services potentially targeted by generic credential‑stealing campaigns originating from this domain. Continuous re‑scanning of the domain on VirusTotal and other sandbox platforms is recommended to capture any evolving payloads. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260720-669191 TLS cert SHA-256: 964812d92fd62649939f08b32ca69b82e782d4e3f8a16cb02bba2df7e7f4061d ## 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/quest-38.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=quest-38.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
