megceth[.]xyz

On 25 July 2026, threat intelligence analysts flagged megceth.xyz as a high‑risk crypto‑scam infrastructure. The domain was registered on 21 February 2026 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. DNS resolution points to the IP address 172.67.187.164, which is owned by Cloudflare, Inc. (ASN 13335) and geolocated in the United States. Both authoritative nameservers, anirban.ns.cloudflare.com and sydney.ns.cloudflare.com, are Cloudflare‑provided, confirming that the site is served behind a Cloudflare edge network and supports HTTP/3. The TLS certificate presented to clients is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 hierarchy, indicating a valid HTTPS endpoint despite the malicious intent. When accessed, the server returns an HTTP 521 status code, a Cloudflare‑specific response indicating that the origin server is unreachable.

The only visible page element captured by scanners is the title “megceth.xyz/”, providing no additional context about the fraudulent content. VirusTotal records show that 4 of 93 scanning engines have flagged the domain, and the domain appears on two dedicated blocklists – PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer – both of which classify it as a crypto‑related scam. The intelligence package labels the activity as a “Crypto Scam”, but no specific cryptocurrency wallet, investment platform, or brand is disclosed. Consequently, the precise lure employed (e.g., fake wallet, investment pump‑and‑dump, or token airdrop) remains unknown. Likewise, no malware payload or credential‑harvesting kit has been observed, and the site’s landing page has not been captured for visual analysis.

Defenders should treat megceth.xyz as a malicious indicator. Immediate mitigation steps include adding the domain and its associated IP address to network deny lists, configuring web‑filtering solutions to block HTTP requests to the domain, and monitoring DNS queries for anomalous resolutions to Cloudflare edge nodes.
