Security engines reporting a detection: 16. Public blocklists reporting a match: 1. Exercise extreme caution — do not enter credentials or personal information.
Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
On 2026-10-02, ScamSniffer listed megaethchain.live in its external blocklist, and the domain was first observed on that same date. The registrar recorded for the domain is NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, with a registration date of 2026-08-01.
Recorded Evidence
VirusTotal, checked on 2026-10-01, reported 16 detections across 91 scanners for megaethchain.live. OTX, checked on 2026-10-02, recorded 1 pulse, and the domain also appeared in the PhishDestroy internal listing on 2026-10-02. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt / YR1 and scanned on 2026-10-02.
Interpretation
The ScamSniffer entry, the VirusTotal detections, the OTX pulse, and the PhishDestroy internal listing are separate dated records that a reader can compare directly. Because the VirusTotal check occurred one day before the other observations, it reflects an earlier measurement point rather than a simultaneous one. These records describe what each named source reported on its own date and do not establish a shared cause or a single conclusion.
Recommended Actions
Review the megaethchain.live records from ScamSniffer, VirusTotal, OTX, and PhishDestroy, and preserve each source entry for later comparison. Compare the VirusTotal detections against the ScamSniffer listing in separate checks, and track whether the OTX pulse count changes over time. Recheck the PhishDestroy internal listing alongside the external blocklist entry to see whether both remain present.

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.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.
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.
