## INFRASTRUCTURE

## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:55:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies mega-up.com as a low-risk phishing domain. The threat type detected is generic phishing, indicating potential attempts to steal credentials or personal information. Despite the low risk classification, caution is advised when encountering this domain.

Supporting evidence includes the domain’s creation date on December 13, 2024, and its registration through Metaregistrar BV. It resolved to the IP address 104.21.96.1. VirusTotal flagged it by 1 out of 95 security vendors, and it appears on one security blocklist. Additionally, AlienVault OTX recorded this domain in one threat intelligence pulse. The page title “Even geduld...” suggests it may have been used for phishing campaigns.

Currently, mega-up.com is taken offline, reducing the immediate risk to users. To mitigate any potential harm, users should avoid attempting to access the domain or provide any personal information if encountered. Organizations should monitor and block this domain as part of their security posture to prevent phishing exposure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       393a5a6dfc60be0498402043769134cce07b6a878d705d47f279b03ab9f63a80

## 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.
