## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:22:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies megapot.bet as a domain associated with generic phishing activity. Such threats pose risks by attempting to steal sensitive user information through deceptive tactics. Although its risk level is currently assessed as low, users should remain cautious as phishing can lead to financial and personal data compromise.

The domain megapot.bet was created on February 21, 2026, and is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and has appeared on five security blocklists. VirusTotal scans indicate that 2 out of 95 security vendors flagged this domain, suggesting some level of suspicion. Presently, the domain is offline, displaying a "521: Web server is down" message, which limits active threat exposure at this time.

Users are advised to avoid visiting megapot.bet or interacting with any links or communications referencing this domain. Maintaining updated security software and exercising caution with unsolicited emails or messages can help mitigate phishing risks. Reporting suspicious activity involving megapot.bet to security teams or platforms like PhishDestroy supports broader protective efforts.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      ca67fff4f183dd2c71e7e71105dd608f147f98b95e6769e73e5c510a533045e6

## 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.
