No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-21 11:53:16 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-21 09:11:09 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-21 18:12:03 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019daf3c-ee7d-76dc-bf9c-934bd3867a93/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/410f9de4-b627-45f6-93cd-27a1dd89a28f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mell8262.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mell8262.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mell8262.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mell8262.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mell8262.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-21 11:54:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies mell8262.live as a fraudulent domain actively impersonating legitimate login portals to harvest user credentials, posing a high risk of account compromise and identity theft. This domain was flagged as a generic phishing scam, with current intelligence showing it resolves to IP 186.2.175.89 and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear trustworthy. Despite zero detections on VirusTotal (0/95), the absence of security flags does not guarantee safety, as threat actors frequently exploit low-detection domains to bypass initial scrutiny. This domain exhibits classic phishing indicators, including a recently registered name (specific creation date not disclosed) and reliance on a reputable but misused SSL provider to deceive users. While VirusTotal’s detection engine remains unaware, the combination of a live active status, generic phishing classification, and infrastructure tied to a known malicious IP suggests this site is part of a broader credential harvesting campaign. Security researchers should monitor for further associations with this IP or domain patterns, as such infrastructure often supports multiple phishing campaigns targeting financial, e-commerce, or corporate login pages. If you have visited mell8262.live, cease any interaction immediately and avoid entering credentials or sensitive information. Scan your devices for malware, review accounts for unauthorized access, and change passwords using a separate, trusted device. Report the domain to your security team or platforms like PhishDestroy to aid in blocking. Enable multi-factor authentication on all critical accounts to mitigate potential credential theft. Avoid clicking links from unsolicited messages and verify website legitimacy through official channels before submitting any data. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260421-A08807 Favicon MD5: cb8d45c3ac50a71d1532795851a3ebef TLS cert SHA-256: c199ed1217c065c1b2d55a9aaf379cfcb5abfce6b91ecaf655370bb72978fa08 ## 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/mell8262.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mell8262.live 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.
