Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies megatioethereum.com as an elevated-risk crypto drainer domain specifically designed to steal cryptocurrency assets from unsuspecting users. This domain masquerades as a legitimate Ethereum-related platform, leveraging deceptive branding to trick victims into connecting their wallets or entering private keys. The threat operates by exploiting trust in familiar crypto ecosystems, using social engineering tactics to drain funds directly from connected wallets. Users who interact with this domain risk irreversible financial loss, as crypto drainers are known to silently transfer assets to attacker-controlled addresses without requiring additional authentication. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy after analysis revealed multiple red flags across key threat intelligence metrics. Domain creation occurred on May 02, 2026, a notably recent date suggesting opportunistic registration. VirusTotal analysis shows 13 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, indicating partial but not universal detection coverage. The domain resolves to IP address 104.21.25.13, which has been associated with malicious crypto operations in historical datasets. Registration was processed through Global Domain Group LLC, a registrar known to facilitate bulk domain acquisitions that often include malicious registrations. Despite using a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which provides encryption but not legitimacy, the domain lacks any verifiable affiliation with the Ethereum Foundation or legitimate crypto services. The combination of recent creation, partial detection coverage, and association with known malicious infrastructure elevates the risk profile of this domain. Mitigation against crypto drainers like megatioethereum.com requires proactive verification and adherence to security best practices. Users should immediately cease all interactions with this domain and avoid clicking any links or connecting wallets to suspicious sites. Verify domain legitimacy by cross-referencing official Ethereum Foundation communication channels and using tools like PhishDestroy to check reputation scores. Enable wallet address verification before any transaction and use hardware wallets for high-value assets to add an additional security layer. Report this domain to your antivirus provider and crypto wallet platforms to help expand detection coverage. Always use bookmarked links to official platforms rather than search engine results, as malicious domains often rank highly in compromised search results. Consider revoking any wallet connections made to this domain through your wallet provider's connection management interface to prevent potential unauthorized transactions. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260505-3352A0 Favicon MD5: 5f26d0a71e9de5ac268409b35d36f05f TLS cert SHA-256: 63c35a8ddad86b3adac752c984e8e7346018c45ec910eb0d78484090f7b2f67c ## 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/megatioethereum.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=megatioethereum.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.
