## 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-22 20:41:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified japamexc.one as an active phishing domain designed to impersonate the legitimate MEXC cryptocurrency exchange. This site mimics the real platform to trick users into entering login credentials or payment details, which are then harvested by attackers for fraud or resale on dark web markets. The domain’s primary threat is credential theft via brand impersonation, targeting users who may mistake it for the official MEXC website.  This domain was flagged by 6 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors and is blocked by InversionDNS. It was registered on March 13, 2026, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., and resolves to the IP address 137.220.131.177. Its SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt, a common tactic to appear legitimate. Google Safe Browsing classifies it under SOCIAL_ENGINEERING, indicating deceptive practices aimed at manipulating users.  If you visited japamexc.one, avoid entering any personal information, including usernames, passwords, or payment details. Disconnect from the site immediately and scan your device for malware using reputable antivirus software. If you reused passwords from this site elsewhere, change them on all accounts and enable two-factor authentication where possible. Report the domain to your organization’s security team or through platforms like PhishDestroy to help block it for others. Never rely solely on SSL certificates or domain age as indicators of safety—always verify URLs through official channels before interacting with financial platforms.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260422-698A90
Favicon MD5:       3618d84719a0fc7ff3936e24530d23af
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.
