Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This report analyzes the domain megachain.live, classified as a generic phishing threat. The domain is currently active and presents a high risk to users. No specific brand impersonation has been identified in the available intelligence, but the domain's structure and indicators suggest a broad phishing campaign targeting credentials or sensitive data. Technical indicators for megachain.live include: flagged by 4 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on July 09, 2026, resolving to IP address 216.198.79.1, using a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, and appearing on 2 security blocklists. The domain is blocked by MetaMask and SEAL security tools. The low vendor detection rate (4/95) indicates the domain evades many automated scanners, increasing its operational risk. Current status: active. Recommendations: network administrators should block all traffic to megachain.live and its associated IP 216.198.79.1. Users encountering this domain should not enter any credentials or personal data. Security teams should update blocklists and monitor for related subdomains or variations using the same registrar and certificate infrastructure. Given the high risk level and active status, immediate denial-of-access controls are advised. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-B255CF TLS cert SHA-256: c8f7b16488ca5543e67171fb10ae70d053b88fb239ec028d1f37dc44b14a1d02 ## 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/megachain.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=megachain.live 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.
