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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-22 19:44:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-22 17:45:13 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-09 00:17:58 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-23 00:01:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ef06c-fa6c-7638-82da-5d39709131fb/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/0de45674-904f-4ea7-aaa2-b86f72052aa9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/meet-brave.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.meet-brave.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=meet-brave.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/meet-brave.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/meet-brave.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 22:58:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] meet-brave.com poses as a phishing threat by imitating Brave Talk, a legitimate video conferencing service. Despite being active, it has already been flagged by 3 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal. The domain is also listed on public blocklists from PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, indicating its malicious intent. The domain is registered with Spaceship, Inc. and hosted on an IP address owned by Amazon.com, Inc. in the United States. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for phishing sites due to its free and automated nature. These elements suggest an attempt to create a convincing facade of legitimacy to deceive users. The domain was created on June 8, 2026, and detected by PhishDestroy on June 22, 2026. This quick identification highlights the effectiveness of PhishDestroy's detection capabilities, capturing the threat within two weeks of its creation. The presence of the domain on multiple blocklists further underscores the importance of early detection in mitigating potential damage. The imitation of Brave Talk suggests a targeted approach, likely aiming to harvest login credentials or personal information from unsuspecting users. The combination of a familiar brand name and a legitimate-looking setup increases the risk of users falling victim to the scam. This case exemplifies the ongoing challenges in cybersecurity, where attackers exploit trusted brands to perpetrate their schemes. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260622-E74C00 TLS cert SHA-256: 45f104d97a2eadac589cda9d04ea65ce9d33be27f944ceef9a277e74f2189a34 ## 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/meet-brave.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=meet-brave.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.
