mckinsey.com phishing site impersonates consulting brand

This domain, mckinsey.com, is under investigation as an active phishing infrastructure targeting users through generic fraudulent schemes. As of July 24, 2026, the domain appears on a single security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, indicating preliminary detection by at least one vendor. Analysis reveals no current detections from the 91 security vendors that scanned the domain on VirusTotal, though the absence of flags does not confirm safety or legitimacy.

No additional details regarding hosting infrastructure, registrar, or associated IP addresses are currently available in open-source intelligence. The exact nature of the phishing content remains unconfirmed, as the page title and brand impersonation specifics have not been analysed. Defenders should treat this domain as suspicious based on its presence on a security blocklist and exercise caution when encountering links or resources associated with it.

Network security teams are advised to monitor for connections to this domain, implement temporary blocking measures if aligned with internal risk policies, and correlate any observed activity with other indicators of compromise. Further investigation is required to determine the full scope of the threat, including potential ties to broader phishing campaigns or targeted sectors.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       e6ceaf62071b2680486c029fb2a79f24
TLS cert SHA-256:      7cea0299772be3b992f41f742143e1d0c4019995d5dc4660584267ac3daccbe1

## 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.
