Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] scope-quest.com — Generic Phishing Investigation The domain scope-quest.com was registered on June 10, 2026 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and is currently active. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain is delegated to Cloudflare nameservers jacqueline.ns.cloudflare.com and tom.ns.cloudflare.com, resolving to the IP address 104.21.69.17. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been identified by the PhishDestroy sinkhole as malicious. VirusTotal scans reported three detections out of ninety‑five vendor engines, confirming that at least a subset of security products consider the domain hostile. No public page content or credential‑harvesting landing page has been disclosed, so the exact phishing tactics employed remain unknown. Given the recent registration date, the presence on a blocklist, and the multi‑vendor detections, the domain should be considered high‑risk for generic phishing campaigns. Defensive actions include adding scope-quest.com to DNS deny lists, blocking traffic to 104.21.69.17 at the network perimeter, and monitoring for any related email or URL indicators. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised as further intelligence, such as payload samples or phishing page snapshots, becomes available. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 1239adf873e5fae2d4874e2fbb465b14b48a97f1794abd515bd4e8eb0fbd9d22 ## 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/scope-quest.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=scope-quest.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.
