# PhishDestroy threat dossier — megaethe.pro ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 01:07:38 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/megaethe.pro/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 80/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, Fortinet, Seclookup Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.79.215 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Web Commerce Communications Limited Nameservers: ["dave.ns.cloudflare.com", "liz.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Just a moment... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-05-26 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: afba842eeaec2393f473a399ada4ff29953d6aad1ec1458b2d67a393909e2119 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:24:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-13 07:49:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-02 20:29:46 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019a36fe-2e75-74f5-82f4-b9489984ea50/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/megaethe.pro crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.megaethe.pro Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=megaethe.pro AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/megaethe.pro URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/megaethe.pro/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 15:59:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies megaethe.pro as a medium-risk generic phishing domain, originally registered on February 21, 2026. The domain was designed to mislead users and potentially harvest sensitive information through deceptive tactics. Its classification aligns with common phishing schemes targeting unsuspecting victims. Technical analysis reveals that megaethe.pro was flagged by several security vendors and appears on one security blocklist, indicating its involvement in malicious activities. The domain registration was through a defunct or expired service, suggesting a potential attempt to evade long-term tracking. VirusTotal results show limited but notable detection, reinforcing the need for caution when encountering this domain. Currently, megaethe.pro is offline, which reduces immediate risk to users. The domain's removal from active status reflects a positive response from security entities, though ongoing monitoring is advised to detect potential resurrection or similar threats. PhishDestroy recommends vigilance and the use of updated threat intelligence to mitigate risks associated with domains like megaethe.pro. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: afba842eeaec2393f473a399ada4ff29953d6aad1ec1458b2d67a393909e2119 ## 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/megaethe.pro/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=megaethe.pro 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.
