Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["cesar.ns.cloudflare.com", "teresa.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2026-09-27 Page title: Decode QR Code ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-04-24 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: de2eeb7f02cbee3d013a65a70f6fbc08f8dd3f85a19d41c31566be54e2e7d2a2 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-14 12:19:07 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:24:43 UTC (STALE — 26 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-03-15 06:13:50 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 26 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 26 days stale) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c56c3-1a7d-7449-b047-5947be4d7ad4/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/6941fa3c-487f-40de-b983-d56e66b4fd21 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/scamqr.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.scamqr.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=scamqr.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/scamqr.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/scamqr.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 06:13:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies scamqr.org as a domain involved in generic phishing activities, though currently assessed as low risk. The site, titled "Decode QR Code," was created recently and has been taken offline after appearing on one security blocklist and receiving minimal flags from VirusTotal. Users should remain cautious as phishing domains like this aim to deceive by mimicking legitimate services. This phishing attempt likely involved tricking users into scanning or decoding QR codes to capture sensitive information or redirect to malicious content. The domain's low trust score and minimal detection suggest limited distribution but still pose potential risks, especially to those seeking quick QR code decoding services without verification. If you have visited scamqr.org, it is recommended to avoid submitting any personal or financial information and to monitor any accounts for suspicious activity. Running an updated antivirus scan and changing any credentials used around the time of the visit can help mitigate possible consequences. Always verify QR code-related websites through trusted sources before use. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260214-DECC27 Favicon MD5: 07980c74576d0d78713e632841419f16 TLS cert SHA-256: de2eeb7f02cbee3d013a65a70f6fbc08f8dd3f85a19d41c31566be54e2e7d2a2 ## 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/scamqr.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=scamqr.org 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.
