Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Megaduel.com: Active Credential Harvesting Phishing Site Detected This domain, megaduel.com, is flagged as an active credential harvesting phishing site with an elevated risk level. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to deceive users into submitting sensitive authentication credentials, likely through spoofed login interfaces or fraudulent account verification prompts. The threat type aligns with generic phishing but exhibits characteristics of targeted credential theft, posing significant risks to individual and organizational security. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on January 04, 2020, through TurnCommerce, Inc. DBA NameBright.com. It resolves to the IPv6 address 2606:4700:20::ac43:46bf and employs technologies including CFML, Microsoft ASP.NET, Adobe ColdFusion, and Google Analytics, suggesting a sophisticated backend capable of dynamic content delivery. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, providing a veneer of legitimacy. Detection metrics show 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain, while it appears on one security blocklist. The page title, 'MegaDuel.com is for sale | HugeDomains,' contrasts with its active malicious use, indicating potential domain parking abuse or obfuscation tactics. Mitigation against this threat requires multi-layered defenses. Network-level protections should block the domain and its resolving IP address at firewalls and DNS filters. Endpoint security solutions must be configured to detect and prevent access to the domain, particularly for users handling sensitive credentials. Organizations should implement strict email filtering to quarantine messages containing links to megaduel.com or similar domains. User awareness training should emphasize the risks of credential harvesting, including the deceptive use of SSL certificates and legitimate-seeming landing pages. Regular audits of domain registrations and SSL certificates can help identify emerging threats before they become active. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 8cffe9d8e464c754bf2a231a6503b1ac4b98b12114a489609ec48afb940352df ## 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/megaduel.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=megaduel.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.
