Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies megae.org as an active phishing domain operating under an elevated risk classification. This domain resolves to IP address 66.198.225.39 and hosts fraudulent login pages designed to harvest user credentials under the guise of legitimate services. The threat actor leverages this domain to deceive visitors into submitting sensitive information, which is then exfiltrated for malicious purposes including credential theft and potential account takeover. The deceptive nature of this campaign relies on the domain's superficial resemblance to trusted platforms, exploiting user trust to facilitate unauthorized access to personal and corporate accounts. This represents a clear and present danger to individuals and organizations alike. This domain was flagged by 3 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating a moderate but concerning detection rate. The domain was registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB on February 06, 2026, suggesting a recent and rapidly deployed threat infrastructure. The presence of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate further enhances the appearance of legitimacy, potentially lowering user suspicion. The short domain age combined with the low but non-zero detection rate highlights the need for immediate attention from security teams and end-users. Historical blocklists and threat intelligence feeds may show additional detections or associated malicious activities, reinforcing the elevated risk profile of this domain. Users who have visited megae.org should immediately cease any interaction with the site and avoid entering any credentials or personal information. If credentials were submitted, those passwords should be changed immediately, and multi-factor authentication should be enabled on all related accounts. Users are advised to run a full antivirus scan and review financial or sensitive accounts for any signs of unauthorized activity. Organizations should block this domain at the network perimeter and investigate any potential lateral movement or data exfiltration. Security researchers are encouraged to monitor for additional domains resolving to 66.198.225.39 or exhibiting similar registration patterns. Proactive threat hunting based on these indicators can prevent further compromise within enterprise environments. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260517-6BA755 Favicon MD5: 6b1ac06440e09e1a19f48587dc03a071 TLS cert SHA-256: 73f07fdaabf44e27294237ab9f9bf9849321c8c0663f7244a0d43adef19a6d1c ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/megae.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=megae.org 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
