# PhishDestroy threat dossier — megaethx.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-04 23:28:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/megaethx.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- CRITICAL THREAT — DO NOT VISIT Composite threat score: 82/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Ethereum ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies megaethx.com as an active cryptocurrency drainer scam site, currently under investigation with a confirmed 'generic_phishing' threat classification. This domain is engineered to trick users into connecting crypto wallets, specifically targeting Ethereum-based transactions to facilitate fund theft. The campaign remains active with an unresolved risk level, prompting immediate user caution and verification through trusted threat intelligence platforms. Domain-specific technical indicators confirm this threat: PhishDestroy data shows the domain remains undetected by any of the 95 VirusTotal security vendors as of analysis, with a newly registered SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. megaethx.com was registered through NameSilo, LLC on May 01, 2026, and resolves to network infrastructure at IP address 188.114.96.3. With zero detections across major security platforms, this domain’s trust scores remain critically low, exhibiting high-risk characteristics typical of emerging phishing infrastructure. The lack of blocklist inclusion, combined with its recent creation date, indicates a rapidly deployed threat designed to evade early detection mechanisms. The threat posed by megaethx.com is currently classified as active and unresolved, necessitating immediate defensive action. PhishDestroy recommends users avoid interaction with this domain and verify any related links or platforms via its threat verification portal. Organizations and individuals should block network access to the associated IP address 188.114.96.3 at the firewall level and update browser-based blocklists using real-time threat feeds. Due to the absence of detection on VirusTotal and similar platforms, proactive monitoring and manual reporting remain critical to preventing potential cryptocurrency fund misappropriation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260501-A2F8FC Favicon MD5: bf57820134b35af7f4f02e9f1ba7cff8 TLS cert SHA-256: 2481a20427de355bb5b17e65d46ca9d47e4a09841754fe5f52c716a3f1255747 ## 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/megaethx.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=megaethx.com 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.
