## 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

First reported:    2026-06-18 12:33:41 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-22 00:20:33 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:32:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, megaethsubmit.xyz, poses a serious threat as a crypto drainer, designed to trick visitors into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets or entering private keys, which then allows attackers to steal funds. It impersonates legitimate platforms like MegaETH to appear trustworthy, but its sole purpose is financial theft.

Our analysis reveals strong evidence of malicious intent. VirusTotal shows 5 out of 95 security vendors flagging this domain as harmful. The domain was created on June 16, 2026, through NAMECHEAP INC, a registrar often abused by threat actors. It uses an SSL certificate from Google Trust Services, which can falsely imply legitimacy, but the site remains active and appears on 3 security blocklists. The page title is simply "Terminal," a common ruse to mimic a login or command interface.

If you have visited megaethsubmit.xyz and entered any information or connected a wallet, act immediately. Disconnect that wallet from any associated accounts, transfer remaining funds to a secure wallet, and monitor for unauthorized transactions. Run a full antivirus scan on your device and change passwords for any accounts used on that site. Report the domain to your blockchain security provider and consider freezing any compromised assets.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260618-DFB6AE
TLS cert SHA-256:      1c50052cbec4e94257aa882354de4d20b164fbdfe9feaa4943dea2d8474f1355

## 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.
