No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## 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: 2026-01-26 10:43:32 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-31 05:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-14 07:07:33 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners 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/019bf9d5-723e-72e9-8193-d64dbb3ed242/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/cmeproexperts.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.cmeproexperts.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=cmeproexperts.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/cmeproexperts.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/cmeproexperts.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 02:03:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified cmeproexperts.com as a malicious domain engaged in generic phishing activities. The site impersonated CME Pro Experts, aiming to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. With a high-risk classification, this domain posed significant threats to unsuspecting visitors by exploiting brand trust. From a technical perspective, cmeproexperts.com was registered on February 21, 2026, via Cosmotown, Inc., resolving to the IP address 161.97.121.66. The domain’s trustworthiness was critically low, scoring only 1 out of 100 on Scamadviser. VirusTotal scans revealed suspicion, with 10 out of 95 security vendors flagging it as malicious. Additionally, the domain appeared on at least one security blocklist, underscoring its dubious nature. Currently, cmeproexperts.com has been taken offline, mitigating immediate risks. Nevertheless, users and organizations should remain vigilant for potential lookalike domains and phishing attempts imitating CME Pro Experts. It is recommended to employ robust email filtering, user awareness training, and continuous monitoring of domain registrations to prevent future compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260126-65BD0D Favicon MD5: 171c3ecf4adbfd9d60ae7ea40d86464d ## 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/cmeproexperts.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cmeproexperts.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.
