# PhishDestroy threat dossier — quq.finance ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-26 16:25:50 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/quq.finance/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 84/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 8/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 4 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.8.7 Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

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: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-13 00:31:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 06:34:03 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-26 16:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 18:39:57 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 21:33:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, quq.finance, operates as a cryptocurrency phishing site targeting users of the BNB blockchain. The site masquerades as a meme coin project, using social engineering tactics such as emoji-laden page titles (quq — The 😂 Meme Coin on BNB) to lure victims into connecting their crypto wallets. Once connected, the site likely executes unauthorized transactions or harvests wallet credentials, a common attack vector in decentralized finance scams. Analysis indicates quq.finance is flagged by 8 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with additional presence on 4 distinct security blocklists. The domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through NameSilo, LLC, and resolves to the IP address 104.21.8.7, which is protected by Cloudflare infrastructure. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt, a tactic often employed to evade browser security warnings. The domain is currently offline but was previously blocked by at least four security tools, including MetaMask and ScamSniffer, further corroborating its malicious intent. AlienVault OTX records show it appears in 4 threat intelligence pulses, reinforcing its classification as a high-confidence phishing threat. Users who visited quq.finance or interacted with its content should immediately revoke any connected wallet permissions using a trusted blockchain explorer. All credentials, including private keys and seed phrases, should be considered compromised and rotated. Monitor transaction histories for unauthorized activity and report the incident to relevant security teams or platforms. If funds were transferred, contact the receiving exchange or wallet service to attempt recovery. Future interactions with meme coin projects should be verified through official channels, such as verified social media accounts or audited smart contracts, before connecting wallets. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f5ecdfe7aa45dceee1fe9330490dd5b9 TLS cert SHA-256: 95fb083b01d8ddd08f8167398a89a9c7bd63cfa4175e14c25fd806a05ee9551a ## 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/quq.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=quq.finance 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.
