deposit-megaeth[.]xyz

Analysis of deposit-megaeth.xyz confirms its classification as a phishing domain impersonating Gmail, with elevated risk indicators despite its current offline status. The domain was registered on November 24, 2025, through Dynadot LLC and is now returning an HTTP 404 status, suggesting recent takedown or abandonment. Infrastructure analysis reveals Cloudflare-hosted nameservers (brenna.ns.cloudflare.com, hassan.ns.cloudflare.com) and resolution to IP 142.250.185.132, which belongs to Google LLC (AS15169), though this IP association does not imply legitimacy. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), a detail often exploited to lend false credibility to phishing sites.

The page title 'Google' and explicit targeting of Gmail align with brand impersonation tactics observed in credential harvesting campaigns. Detection coverage remains limited but notable: the domain appears on one security blocklist (PhishDestroy) and is flagged by 6 of 95 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate but not universal recognition of its malicious nature. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100, reinforcing its high-risk classification.

Defenders should treat this domain as confirmed malicious infrastructure, particularly in environments where Gmail credentials are critical. Recommended actions include blocking the domain at DNS and proxy layers, monitoring for related domains using the same registrar or nameserver patterns, and alerting users to potential credential theft attempts tied to this campaign. The absence of active HTTP responses limits further forensic analysis, but historical associations with Cloudflare and Google IPs may aid in identifying related threats.
