# PhishDestroy threat dossier — mellgame99.icu ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 06:49:33 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/mellgame99.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: 85.121.149.84 (MD, Chisinau) ASN: AS200019 ALEXHOST SRL Hosting org: AlexHost SRL 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. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/namesilo-killed-our-twitter https://phishdestroy.io/xmrwallet-namesilo-exposed Nameservers: ["faye.ns.cloudflare.com", "eugene.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-21 Page title: Mellstroy Casino — Официальное онлайн‑казино от Меллстроя ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-06-08 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: bcaf0dc3965706183d490425c873c1f3e797aa3f45ccc63a030fc90f7ce8e128 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.mellgame99.icu ## 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: 2026-04-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-21 16:53:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-21 13:54:53 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/019db050-4598-76b8-999f-43cf34361765/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/18a1dff2-2162-42be-9399-594c52988ed3 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mellgame99.icu crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mellgame99.icu Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mellgame99.icu AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mellgame99.icu URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mellgame99.icu/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-21 16:54:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies mellgame99.icu as a deceptive gaming portal actively distributing malware since January 4, 2026. The domain, registered through NameSilo, LLC and hosted on IP 85.121.149.84 with a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, remains undetected by 95 VirusTotal scanners as of today. Instead of delivering promised games or in-game items, the site attempts to trick visitors into downloading trojans or credential stealers, risking financial loss and identity theft. This site is under investigation, but concrete evidence already reveals its malicious intent. The domain was created on January 4, 2026, and despite zero detections on VirusTotal, it operates from a known IP address linked to phishing infrastructure. The use of a free Let’s Encrypt certificate is a common tactic to appear legitimate, while the registrar NameSilo, LLC allows anonymous registrations that obscure the true operators. If you accidentally visited mellgame99.icu or entered any information, immediately run a full antivirus scan and change passwords used on the site. Never trust pop-ups or offers that seem too good to be true. Report the domain to your security team or platform support. Stay alert: gaming-themed scams are rising, especially around new releases or fake tournaments. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260421-68D8D0 Favicon MD5: 13fd15e317e4e7e202bc6e73ca9d5856 TLS cert SHA-256: bcaf0dc3965706183d490425c873c1f3e797aa3f45ccc63a030fc90f7ce8e128 ## 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/mellgame99.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mellgame99.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.
