# PhishDestroy threat dossier — t-mobile.qkxvb.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-26 09:00:49 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/t-mobile.qkxvb.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 91/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Brand Impersonation Targeted brand: x.com ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 22/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, Criminal IP, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, DNS8, ESET, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Netcraft, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 47.253.81.117 (US, Virginia Beach) ASN: ASAS45102 ALIBABA-CN-NET Alibaba US Technology Co., Ltd., CN Hosting org: AS45102 Alibaba (US) Technology Co., Ltd. Registrar: Dominet (HK) Limited Nameservers: ns7.alidns.com, ns8.alidns.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2027-01-15 Page title: Welcome to nginx! ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Expires: 2026-04-18 Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-21 (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: 2026-02-04 17:21:31 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-26 08:21:26 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-12 00:01:55 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) 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/019c28d6-99ca-760d-b8db-5edb4de74cdd/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/d70acf50-3c94-4be6-a585-2875f0f4d80a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/t-mobile.qkxvb.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.t-mobile.qkxvb.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=t-mobile.qkxvb.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/t-mobile.qkxvb.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/t-mobile.qkxvb.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:13:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is t-mobile.qkxvb.cc a Brand Impersonation Scam Targeting X.com? This domain, t-mobile.qkxvb.cc, is flagged as a brand impersonation threat specifically targeting X.com, a high-profile social media platform. Analysis indicates the domain was engineered to mimic legitimate branding, likely to deceive users into divulging credentials or engaging with fraudulent content. No crypto drainer kit signatures were detected, but the infrastructure aligns with credential theft campaigns observed in similar impersonation schemes. The domain does not employ a recognized drainer script, reducing the likelihood of direct cryptocurrency theft but maintaining a focus on account compromise. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through Dominet (HK) Limited, a registrar frequently associated with abuse reports. It resolves to the IP address 47.253.81.117, hosted on Alibaba (US) Technology Co., Ltd. infrastructure (AS45102). The domain currently lacks an SSL certificate, a red flag for user security, and displays the default page title 'Welcome to nginx!', suggesting either incomplete deployment or a placeholder state. VirusTotal reports 22 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, while it appears on one additional security blocklist. No Google Safe Browsing (GSB) detection was noted at the time of analysis, though this may reflect a lag in propagation rather than a clean status. The domain has been taken offline, likely due to enforcement actions by security providers or hosting interventions. While the immediate threat is mitigated, residual risk persists for users who may have interacted with the domain prior to its removal. Historical DNS records or cached pages could still pose a risk if accessed inadvertently. Users are advised to monitor accounts associated with X.com for unauthorized activity and reset credentials if exposure is suspected. Organizations should update blocklists to include this domain and its resolving IP to prevent future access attempts. The elevated risk level is justified by the domain's impersonation of a major platform and its prior malicious classification by multiple security vendors. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260204-913B41 ## 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/t-mobile.qkxvb.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=t-mobile.qkxvb.cc 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.
