No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-28 05:53:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-28 08:30:47 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 05:54:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] salmonqw.live — Generic Phishing Campaign Report The domain salmonqw.live is currently classified as a high‑risk generic phishing infrastructure and remains active as of the report date, July 28, 2026. Registration data shows the domain was obtained through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used for legitimate enterprises, which may be leveraged to lend perceived credibility to the malicious operation. DNS resolution is served by ns911a.microsoftinternetsafety.net and ns911b.microsoftinternetsafety.net, both of which appear to be hosted under a Microsoft‑related naming scheme, suggesting possible abuse of compromised or misconfigured name servers. Network‑level analysis indicates the site returns an HTTP 302 status code, a pattern frequently employed to redirect victims to credential‑harvesting pages or to obscure the final landing location. VirusTotal scans report that 18 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain, providing a moderate consensus of malicious intent across independent detection engines. The domain is listed on one public security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service, confirming that at least one industry‑wide mitigation source has incorporated it into its deny list. Despite these indicators, the domain continues to resolve and host content, implying that the adversary retains control of the hosting environment. Defenders should prioritize DNS‑level blocking for salmonqw.live, enforce URL filtering on web gateways, and monitor outbound connections to the associated name servers. Continuous re‑evaluation of the domain’s detection score is advised, as additional security vendors may update their verdicts. Incident response teams should also consider sinkholing any observed C2 traffic linked to the domain’s IP address space, and threat‑intel sharing platforms should be updated with the current detection metrics to improve collective awareness. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 47cf9d52720eb8cb1e973f7b0172ae325cb45aaff2c29221b976968b02f882e6 ## 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/salmonqw.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=salmonqw.live 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.
