# PhishDestroy threat dossier — megaethsubmitt.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 08:15:58 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/megaethsubmitt.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Brand Impersonation Targeted brand: Ethereum ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.198.24 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NAMECHEAP INC Nameservers: anton.ns.cloudflare.com, deborah.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-22 Expires: 2027-06-22 Page title: Terminal HTTP response: 502 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-20 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 40eb76087b29fa5740c7e98980476a643465a135084d1e2274590276a33f1868 ## 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: 2026-06-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-30 19:29:25 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-30 21:58:19 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 08:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 00:02:08 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1992-97ec-759b-b85c-d7e87fae461d/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/megaethsubmitt.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.megaethsubmitt.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=megaethsubmitt.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/megaethsubmitt.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/megaethsubmitt.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-30 21:00:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain megaethsubmitt.xyz has been identified as an active phishing infrastructure designed to impersonate Ethereum wallet interfaces, specifically targeting users through a deceptive terminal-themed webpage. Analysis indicates this domain operates under the generic_phishing threat classification with a high-risk assessment due to its credential harvesting and asset theft objectives. The page title, Terminal, suggests an attempt to mimic legitimate command-line or wallet management tools, increasing the likelihood of successful social engineering against cryptocurrency users. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 22, 2026, through NAMECHEAP INC, a registrar frequently associated with malicious domains. It currently resolves to the IP address 104.21.42.8, which may be part of a content delivery network or proxy service to obscure its true hosting origin. Detection metrics show the domain is flagged by 3 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, while AlienVault OTX records its presence in one threat intelligence pulse. Additionally, the domain appears on two security blocklists, further corroborating its malicious classification. The discrepancy in the creation date, set in the future, may indicate an attempt to evade temporal-based detection mechanisms or a registration error. As of the latest assessment, megaethsubmitt.xyz remains active and continues to pose a significant risk to users interacting with cryptocurrency wallets or terminal-based applications. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain and its associated IP address at the network level. Users who may have interacted with the domain should immediately revoke any active sessions, rotate credentials, and audit their wallets for unauthorized transactions. Security teams are encouraged to monitor for related indicators of compromise, including the domain, IP, and any linked infrastructure, to mitigate potential lateral movement or secondary infections. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260630-DDBE85 TLS cert SHA-256: 40eb76087b29fa5740c7e98980476a643465a135084d1e2274590276a33f1868 ## 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 (operator 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/megaethsubmitt.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=megaethsubmitt.xyz 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
