Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["adam.ns.cloudflare.com", "danica.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-05-02 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-30 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: ab9c44c74cda4aad52d51bb47804637b171a8c67f5584fe872f4e05f1e4bb125 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-05-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-02 17:30:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 12:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-11 17:50:39 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 13:45:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain gov-megaeth.com is identified as a generic phishing domain. It does not appear to be associated with any specific brand or drainer kit. Analysis of the domain reveals that it poses a significant risk of credential theft and potential malware distribution. Technical indicators for gov-megaeth.com include a VirusTotal score of 5/95, indicating that 5 out of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to the IP address 104.21.9.110. It was created on May 02, 2026. The domain’s SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt with a serial number E8. Additionally, the domain appears on 3 security blocklists and is listed in 1 threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX. The current status of the domain is offline, as it has been taken down. Despite the domain being currently offline, the risk level remains elevated due to the potential for it to be reactivated. Security teams should monitor for any signs of resurgence and ensure that network defenses are updated to block any related IP addresses and domains. Users should be advised to avoid clicking on links or entering credentials on any pages associated with this domain to prevent phishing attacks and potential data breaches. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 0c23393a2962fa25800b09e18dd6b102 TLS cert SHA-256: ab9c44c74cda4aad52d51bb47804637b171a8c67f5584fe872f4e05f1e4bb125 ## 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/gov-megaeth.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gov-megaeth.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.
