## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-22 20:45:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain gnamexc.cyou poses a significant threat as a brand impersonation site targeting users of the MEXC cryptocurrency exchange. It attempts to deceive visitors by mimicking the official MEXC branding and page title to harvest credentials or facilitate fraudulent transactions.

This domain was registered on March 13, 2026, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. It currently resolves to the IP address 137.220.131.177 and holds a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. While VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 engines, the site is flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering and is listed on one security blocklist. Additionally, it is actively blocked by InversionDNS, confirming its malicious intent.

Users who have visited gnamexc.cyou should immediately refrain from entering any personal or login information. It is recommended to change passwords associated with MEXC accounts and enable two-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized access. Reporting this domain to relevant authorities and security platforms can help mitigate its impact on the community.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260422-787CFE
TLS cert SHA-256:      690021f215935e1d49ea3811457f065ef68e07f47b21182cd0bf2dece4497b79

## 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.
