# PhishDestroy threat dossier — usdtqrcodegenerator.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-17 12:35:55 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/usdtqrcodegenerator.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 50/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, PhishFort ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: SOLLUTIUM LLC Nameservers: kiki.ns.cloudflare.com, sri.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-03-26 Page title: USDT QR Code Generator – Free Tether QR Codes with Logo Instantly ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-23 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 11faec579a7c09c2c631ec0665abb32a222bdcf295a771f44807ab6b0c1c9776 ## 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: 2026-03-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-07 09:42:15 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-07 06:44:48 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-15 19:40:07 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-12 00:01:13 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e012a-471b-72cd-913b-d86078089ded/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/usdtqrcodegenerator.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.usdtqrcodegenerator.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=usdtqrcodegenerator.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/usdtqrcodegenerator.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/usdtqrcodegenerator.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-07 09:44:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies usdtqrcodegenerator.com as an active crypto drainer domain designed to trick users into generating malicious QR codes for USDT wallet transactions. The site impersonates legitimate USDT QR code generation services to deceive cryptocurrency users into unknowingly approving fraudulent transactions that drain their wallets. No specific drainer kit has been publicly dissected, but the domain's operational behavior aligns with known crypto drainer toolkits that manipulate QR code generation to exfiltrate wallet credentials or approve malicious transactions. This domain was flagged on VirusTotal with a detection rate of 2/95 security vendors, indicating low but present recognition of its malicious nature. Technical indicators include resolution to IP address 188.114.97.3, a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, registration through SOLLUTIUM LLC on March 26, 2026, and an elevated risk status. The domain has not been flagged by Google Safe Browsing (GSB) but remains unlisted on major blocklists, suggesting new or recently activated infrastructure. These factors contribute to its elevated risk profile and potential for rapid expansion in crypto-focused phishing campaigns. As of the latest assessment, usdtqrcodegenerator.com remains active and poses an elevated threat to cryptocurrency users seeking QR code generation tools. Immediate action is required to block this domain at the network and endpoint levels to prevent wallet drain attacks. Users should avoid interacting with this domain and verify the legitimacy of QR code generation services through official channels. The remaining risk is high due to the domain's recent activation, low initial detection rate, and targeted nature against USDT users. Continuous monitoring and proactive blocking are essential to mitigate potential financial losses. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260507-8AB41C Favicon MD5: 5daf038c9ed4e2ffa619562e86cf9791 TLS cert SHA-256: 11faec579a7c09c2c631ec0665abb32a222bdcf295a771f44807ab6b0c1c9776 ## 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/usdtqrcodegenerator.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=usdtqrcodegenerator.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
