# PhishDestroy threat dossier — mellcsn.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 17:22:54 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/mellcsn.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 186.2.175.63 (BZ, Belmopan) ASN: AS59692 IQWeb FZ-LLC Hosting org: Iqweb LLC Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: blakely.ns.cloudflare.com, houston.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-27 Expires: 2027-06-27 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-09-25 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 2599cb677bada1c36f376a67de83e7df5444be7d92e250827481d5404ce6a172 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - api.mellcsn.live ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-06-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 06:00:45 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 05:49:15 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 16:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1bd4-e124-72db-958c-479cacdc6b7b/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8484174c-a831-4bc7-b9f7-0187a75646a0 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mellcsn.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mellcsn.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mellcsn.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mellcsn.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mellcsn.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 06:06:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk credential harvesting phishing site, designed to deceive users into submitting login credentials, financial details, or other sensitive information. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is actively targeting individuals through fraudulent login portals or payment forms, leveraging social engineering tactics to mimic legitimate services. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain mellcsn.live is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to the IP address 186.2.175.63. It was created on June 27, 2026, an anomalous future date suggesting potential domain registration irregularities or obfuscation attempts. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, providing a false sense of security to victims. As of the latest scan, only 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged this domain, indicating low detection coverage and a high likelihood of evasion. No widely recognized blocklists currently include this domain, and trust scores remain minimal due to its recent activation and limited visibility. Mitigation steps for this specific threat type include immediate blocking of the domain mellcsn.live and its associated IP address 186.2.175.63 at the network perimeter. Organizations should deploy email filtering rules to quarantine messages containing links to this domain, as phishing campaigns often distribute it via malicious URLs. Endpoint protection systems should be updated to detect and prevent access to the domain, while security teams are advised to monitor for credential reuse attempts stemming from harvested data. User awareness training should emphasize the risks of entering credentials on unfamiliar or recently registered domains, particularly those with anomalous creation dates. Network traffic logs should be reviewed for connections to 186.2.175.63 to identify potentially compromised systems. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-8EBF32 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 2599cb677bada1c36f376a67de83e7df5444be7d92e250827481d5404ce6a172 ## 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 (operator 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/mellcsn.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mellcsn.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
