illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources:

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------

## 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: 2026-04-30 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-04-30 13:30:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-03 04:20:37 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-01 17:05:11 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-13 13:44:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy as it poses a specific threat of brand impersonation, where it attempts to deceive users into believing it is affiliated with Google. 

 
The evidence suggests that governance-megaeth.xyz is hosted on the IP 188.114.97.3, and was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, with 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagging it as malicious, indicating a potential risk to users who may have interacted with it.

 
Users who have visited governance-megaeth.xyz should be cautious and monitor their accounts for any suspicious activity, considering the seed 5295ea has flagged this domain for brand impersonation, and it has since been taken offline, reducing the risk of further exposure

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       f3418a443e7d841097c714d69ec4bcb8
TLS cert SHA-256:      64e267cfa6ded4316a3c3d0616f1509a4a914452c75db85cd85dd80b813ba36b

## 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.
