# PhishDestroy threat dossier — state.ewqpay.cc
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-06-30 10:24:10 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/state.ewqpay.cc/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 98/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-06-12

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
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 00:30:59 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-30 12:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 09:01:38 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 21:37:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, state.ewqpay.cc, operates as a fraudulent payment portal designed to harvest cryptocurrency wallet credentials and financial information. Analysis indicates the infrastructure mimics legitimate crypto payment gateways, tricking users into entering private keys or seed phrases under the guise of transaction verification. The domain targets individuals conducting online payments or crypto transfers, with observed lures including fake invoice pages and urgent payment requests impersonating popular platforms.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through Alibaba Cloud (Hangzhou) Network Technology Co., Ltd. Detection metrics show 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged state.ewqpay.cc as malicious, while one additional blocklist, PhishDestroy, has incorporated the domain into its filtering systems. The domain currently appears offline, though historical DNS records suggest intermittent availability, a common tactic to evade automated takedowns and prolong operational windows.  Users who interacted with state.ewqpay.cc should immediately revoke any entered credentials, particularly cryptocurrency wallet private keys or seed phrases. Affected individuals should monitor linked accounts for unauthorized transactions and consider re-securing compromised wallets by transferring assets to new addresses with fresh private keys. Browser caches and saved passwords should be cleared to eliminate residual session tokens. Network-level protections, such as DNS filtering or endpoint detection rules, should be updated to include this domain and associated indicators of compromise. Organizations should review logs for connections to 103.153.77.89, a previously observed IP linked to this infrastructure.

## 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.
