## 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:57:13 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-x.com as a potential threat, posing risks to users who may unknowingly provide sensitive information, as this site appears to be designed for credential theft. 

This domain was flagged due to its recent creation on May 16, 2026, and registration through Gabia, Inc., with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, and although it has a low VirusTotal detection count of 0/95, it is listed on 3 security blocklists and has been found in 1 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse. 

If a user has visited this site, they should immediately monitor their accounts for any suspicious activity and consider changing their passwords, as this domain's primary goal is to steal user credentials, and taking prompt action can help mitigate potential damage, thus ensuring their online safety and security, as indicated by the unique seed a157c3

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       e0f00a43843ccab239978bc57c2e1399
TLS cert SHA-256:      5b8755aaa3905da418cf418046d7ac33d1cc65a28f5f9006b4aa246f06807dc0

## 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.
