Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is maxicheats.com a Phishing Site? Analysis as of July 28, 2026 indicates that maxicheats.com remains an active malicious infrastructure used for generic phishing. The domain was registered on October 13, 2023 through GoDaddy.com, LLC and currently resolves to the IPv4 address 188.114.96.3. DNS resolution is delegated to Cloudflare nameservers evelyn.ns.cloudflare.com and james.ns.cloudflare.com, suggesting the operator is leveraging Cloudflare’s DNS service for resilience. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service. VirusTotal reports that 5 of 91 scanning engines have flagged the domain as malicious, providing independent confirmation of its suspicious nature. No additional public intelligence such as Google Safe Browsing verdicts, OTX pulses, or SSL certificate details were observed in the available data set. Consequently, the confidence in the phishing classification rests on the registrar information, IP mapping, blocklist inclusion, and the modest but non‑zero VirusTotal detection count. Defenders should continue to deny any network traffic to 188.114.96.3, enforce DNS sink‑hole rules for maxicheats.com, and update endpoint protection signatures to include the domain. Monitoring of the associated Cloudflare nameservers for future changes is advisable, as is periodic re‑query of VirusTotal and other threat‑intel platforms to capture any increase in detection counts. Until further evidence emerges, the domain should be treated as high‑risk and blocked at perimeter and host levels. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260728-600D1E Favicon MD5: c4617bc09970495bf13f574cfaad823c TLS cert SHA-256: 3d37f11bda9a91cdacdc709c0a18163c798a9e64c9b2427a0cbf2f94aa693faa ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/maxicheats.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=maxicheats.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
