# PhishDestroy threat dossier — mell99.icu ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 06:49:21 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/mell99.icu/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 65/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker URLQuery: 1 detections ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 194.145.208.110 (NL, Amsterdam) ASN: AS200514 KnownSRV Ltd. Hosting org: KnownSRV Ltd 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.

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: 2026-04-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-21 16:54:49 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-21 13:56:10 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-22 19:40:10 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 00:27:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) 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/019db051-a465-77bb-8902-2293002192e5/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/615fd504-b55f-4c0f-9fbf-efd84d87f8e1 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mell99.icu crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mell99.icu Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mell99.icu AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mell99.icu URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mell99.icu/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-21 16:55:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies mell99.icu as a domain under active investigation for generic phishing tactics, specifically designed to deceive users into divulging login credentials, payment details, or personal information under false pretenses. The site may impersonate legitimate services such as banks, retail platforms, or government agencies to exploit user trust. While the exact lure remains unverified, the domain’s behavior aligns with common phishing patterns, including urgent language (e.g., 'account locked'), fake login portals, or malicious downloads. Users should treat all interactions with this domain as potentially hostile until further evidence emerges. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with the unique seed identifier dac019. VirusTotal currently reports 0 detections out of 95 security vendors, indicating it has not yet been widely recognized as malicious. mell99.icu was registered on January 04, 2026, through NameSilo, LLC, and resolves to IP address 194.145.208.110. The domain holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt, a tactic often used by threat actors to appear legitimate. The combination of a newly registered domain, low detection rate, and active hosting infrastructure suggests an emerging threat that may rapidly evolve or expand its operations. If you visited mell99.icu, do not enter any personal or financial information. Disconnect from the site immediately and scan your device for malware using reputable security software. Change passwords for any accounts you may have accessed through links on the page, and enable multi-factor authentication where possible. Report the domain to your organization’s security team or to platforms like PhishDestroy, VirusTotal, or the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) to aid in blocking efforts. Monitor your accounts for unusual activity, such as unauthorized transactions or login attempts. If you suspect you’ve fallen victim to a scam, contact your bank or financial institution to secure your funds and consider filing a report with local cybercrime authorities. Proactive vigilance remains the most effective defense against phishing threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260421-743B95 Favicon MD5: 13fd15e317e4e7e202bc6e73ca9d5856 TLS cert SHA-256: 539d99b0f19a8abd91099ee47f8a63692c1e82e97f76128571278efed3c8f645 ## 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/mell99.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mell99.icu 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.
