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: 2026-06-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-29 16:55:53 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-29 15:12:33 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 18:17:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f13df-d5c7-736c-bc86-3cb16eb2e607/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/23c078aa-9d5f-4800-a369-02ea20b03b4b Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/cme-gg.vip crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.cme-gg.vip Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=cme-gg.vip AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/cme-gg.vip URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/cme-gg.vip/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-29 17:16:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain cme-gg.vip has been identified as a brand impersonation phishing threat, currently active and presenting risks to users familiar with the CME Group. Analysis indicates that the domain was registered through DYNADOT LLC on June 24, 2026, and is resolving to the IP address 172.67.188.134. It has been flagged by 1 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting limited detection of this domain by automated security systems. The domain will require monitoring for any potential inclusion in blocklists as part of its operational lifetime. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, adding a layer of legitimacy that could mislead potential victims. The current status of cme-gg.vip is still active, and users are urged to exercise caution. It is recommended that organizations take proactive measures, including monitoring for any cyber impacts resulting from the ongoing activity associated with this domain. Furthermore, wider dissemination of threat intelligence regarding this domain could aid in mitigating possible phishing attempts against CME Group's brand and its constituency. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260629-9C57B5 Favicon MD5: 632bb3a2abce3d8e678ac575c75e6e16 TLS cert SHA-256: 154b34bdead391d8f1cd87c117704c27a59706740c84e935d04e7ff09eb00f60 ## 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/cme-gg.vip/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cme-gg.vip 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.
