Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] 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 0 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. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260503-DC6CD3 TLS cert SHA-256: 3e1354d0c186950033ce40adeae4927db941a204534b251cecef75e1c6ce84e6 ## 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/megaeth.builders/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=megaeth.builders 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.
