Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies governance1-megaeth.com as an active cryptocurrency drainer phishing domain designed to steal digital assets from unsuspecting users. The domain mimics legitimate blockchain governance platforms and is currently categorized with an elevated risk level, indicating ongoing malicious activity. This domain was registered on April 30, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3. VirusTotal security analysis shows the domain is flagged by 3 of 95 vendors, demonstrating partial detection but incomplete protection against this threat. The presence of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate suggests an attempt to appear legitimate to potential victims, while the low blocklist count indicates the domain has not yet been widely distributed across major threat intelligence feeds. Current status confirms active operation with elevated risk potential for cryptocurrency holders. PhishDestroy recommends immediate domain blocking at network and endpoint levels. Users should avoid clicking any links from governance1-megaeth.com or related communications, verify all governance platform URLs through official channels, and report any suspicious interactions through PhishDestroy's platform to prevent further spread of this crypto drainer operation. Blocking the associated IP address 188.114.96.3 at the firewall level provides additional protection against this phishing infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260501-F87316 Favicon MD5: bf57820134b35af7f4f02e9f1ba7cff8 TLS cert SHA-256: ba43e9a49e696ebfd8880c289504d4103427f3c2479b0b0e6b8bf8a8a390b14a ## 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/governance1-megaeth.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=governance1-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.
