PhishDestroy identifies megaeth.builders as an active crypto-draining phishing domain designed to steal cryptocurrency from unwary users.

This domain was flagged by security vendors MetaMask and SEAL and appears on two public blocklists. It went live on April 30, 2026, and remains undetected by 3 out of 95 VirusTotal antivirus engines as of today. The site uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate and resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3. It was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar known for hosting high volumes of short-lived domains.

If you visited megaeth.builders, do not connect your wallet or enter any private keys, seed phrases, or recovery phrases. Disconnect immediately, clear browser cache and cookies, and run a reputable antivirus scan. Use PhishDestroy’s real-time verification tool or browser extension to confirm the legitimacy of any crypto-related site before interacting with it.

Accreditation and RAA context

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations

For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.

RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Accountability draft Nothing is sent automatically.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
