ftp.minedetheconnect.com: Confirmed Phishing Site

Analysis as of July 26, 2026 indicates that ftp.minedetheconnect.com is actively serving content (HTTP 200) and has been identified as a phishing infrastructure. The domain is registered through Hosting Concepts B.V. operating under the Registrar.eu brand, and its authoritative name servers are ina1.registrar.eu, ina2.registrar.eu, and ina3.registrar.eu. The site appears on a single security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, confirming its malicious classification.

VirusTotal scans show that 9 of 91 security vendors flag the domain as malicious, reinforcing the suspicion despite the majority of scanners not flagging it. The limited detection coverage suggests that some scanners may lack signatures for this specific campaign, but the presence of multiple vendor detections and blocklist inclusion provide sufficient confidence for mitigation. No additional intelligence such as SSL certificate details, hosting IP, or geographic attribution is available from the current data set, leaving the underlying hosting infrastructure uncertain.

Defenders are advised to add ftp.minedetheconnect.com to network and DNS blocklists, enforce URL filtering, and monitor outbound connections for any attempts to resolve the domain. Continuous re‑evaluation is recommended, as additional detections may emerge if the phishing campaign expands or if more scanning engines update their signatures.

## 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 (operator 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.
