Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] quixel.info — Generic Phishing Infrastructure Analysis The domain quixel.info has been identified as part of an active phishing operation as of July 27, 2026. This domain currently resolves to IP address 104.21.14.187 and is configured with nameservers cloe.ns.cloudflare.com and koa.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating the use of Cloudflare’s DNS services for traffic management and potential obfuscation of backend infrastructure. Registration records show that the domain was created on May 14, 2026, through Sav.com, LLC, a registrar frequently used in automated domain provisioning. The domain’s status remains active at the time of this assessment. Threat intelligence sources provide multiple indicators of malicious activity. One major security vendor, PhishDestroy, currently blocks access to quixel.info, and the domain appears on at least one recognized security blocklist. VirusTotal analysis reports that 1 out of 91 vendors have flagged this domain for suspicious or malicious behavior, suggesting that while broad detection is not yet widespread, there is direct evidence of phishing-related activity. No further details about the website's specific content, branding, or targeted organizations are available at this time, and there is no evidence regarding its SSL certificate status, HTTP response, or trust score. Given these factors, defenders should treat quixel.info as a high-risk domain and block it at the network and email gateway levels. Continuous monitoring is recommended to detect any associated infrastructure or further threat campaigns. Since the domain remains active and is already known to some security vendors, defenders should ensure that their security solutions are updated to include this threat. Further investigation into related IPs and domains is advised to identify additional components of the phishing infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-517F4B Favicon MD5: cf5362110a4f0e7abf9c3f14af32e8e8 TLS cert SHA-256: 6bd5779b256bd0e25aadcd235db1263095deb3c812f1528acc0ae27790a3268a ## 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/quixel.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=quixel.info 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.
