Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — Trustname / Fewmoretaps OU !!! Trustname (IANA #4318) is a shell company declaring EUR 120 annual revenue, 1 employee, negative equity, Belarusian ownership. Explicitly advertises itself as 'bulletproof' in its DNS TXT records. Primary source: https://phishdestroy.io/trustname-bulletproof-exposed Nameservers: faye.ns.cloudflare.com, nitin.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-05 Expires: 2027-05-05 Page title: Macewex: Elon Musk’s Official Crypto Casino Powered by Blockchain ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-02 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c013d4be126e73b7ab855bf9b3da60efeb495d63bb6582ee894fa40f91d9cc3f ## 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: 2026-05-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-29 00:16:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 22:28:25 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 06:17:24 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f104c-a268-7006-9486-eb31b75a2b01/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/42439973-ef13-478d-93f1-38f878d3773f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/macewex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.macewex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=macewex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/macewex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/macewex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-29 00:45:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, macewex.com, is identified as a high-risk generic phishing threat designed to mimic legitimate payment processing portals. Analysis indicates no direct association with a specific brand, but the infrastructure aligns with credential harvesting campaigns targeting e-commerce transactions. The domain does not exhibit overt ties to known drainer kits, though its behavior suggests dynamic content generation typical of phishing frameworks. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on May 05, 2026, through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.61.225, a Cloudflare-associated endpoint often leveraged to obfuscate malicious activity. VirusTotal reports 11 detections out of 95 security vendors, with no confirmed Google Safe Browsing (GSB) listings at the time of analysis. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for threat actors due to its low-cost, automated issuance process. No additional blocklist entries beyond VirusTotal were identified in this assessment. The domain remains active as of the latest verification, with no observed takedown or sinkholing efforts. Response actions should include immediate blacklisting at the DNS and proxy levels, alongside monitoring for credential reuse patterns tied to this infrastructure. The remaining risk is classified as high due to the domain's unresolved status, its use of evasive hosting practices, and the potential for continued credential theft. Organizations are advised to audit logs for connections to 104.21.61.225 and review endpoint telemetry for phishing-related artifacts linked to macewex.com. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-12A323 Favicon MD5: d8974a8bbb2f33885c5817e66c24e72b TLS cert SHA-256: c013d4be126e73b7ab855bf9b3da60efeb495d63bb6582ee894fa40f91d9cc3f ## 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/macewex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=macewex.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.
