sqdwxg.cc Safety Check — Phishing Detected

On July 28, 2026 the domain sqdwxg.cc was observed serving HTTP responses with status code 200. The domain is currently registered through Dynadot Inc and resolves to the authoritative name servers 5014.ns1.abovedomains.com and 5014.ns2.abovedomains.com. It is listed on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service, indicating that at least one external mitigation platform has identified it as malicious. VirusTotal analysis shows that five out of ninety‑one scanned security vendors have flagged the domain, reinforcing the suspicion of malicious activity. The threat classification supplied is generic phishing and the risk rating is high; the campaign remains active according to the latest intelligence.

The available evidence confirms that the domain is reachable, returns a successful HTTP response, and is associated with known phishing mitigation actions. However, no public IP address, hosting ASN, geographic location, SSL certificate details, or page title have been disclosed, leaving those aspects of the infrastructure unverified. Similarly, the specific phishing lure or targeted brand has not been extracted from the page content, so defenders cannot attribute the campaign to a particular victim demographic. Defenders should add sqdwxg.cc to internal blocklists and ensure that outbound filtering solutions reference the PhishDestroy feed to automatically deny traffic to this host.

Network monitoring should watch for DNS queries to the abovedomains.com name servers, and any TLS handshake attempts to the domain should be logged for anomaly detection. Because the domain continues to respond with HTTP 200, it may host credential‑harvesting pages; intrusion detection systems should be tuned to alert on POST requests to unknown endpoints on this host. Continuous re‑scanning with VirusTotal or similar multi‑engine platforms is recommended to capture any change in detection posture.

## 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.
