No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-18 (per WHOIS — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-18 18:35:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-18 15:54:14 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-18 21:08:45 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/019da13a-a942-762a-856b-544ddbabf15c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/711a5f6b-efd4-4d3b-8e89-92feab1190de Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mellspin.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mellspin.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mellspin.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mellspin.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mellspin.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-18 18:35:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies mellspin.cc as an active phishing domain with an elevated risk level, designed to mimic trusted login portals and steal user credentials through deceptive forms. This domain leverages social engineering tactics to trick victims into disclosing sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, or financial details, often embedding malicious links or spoofed interfaces within seemingly legitimate pages. Users should exercise extreme caution and avoid interacting with this site entirely. This domain was flagged by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a moderate but concerning detection rate. mellspin.cc utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which does not imply trustworthiness, as phishers frequently exploit free certificates to appear legitimate. The domain’s creation date and registrar details, while not specified in the provided data, align with common patterns of short-lived malicious sites designed for quick deployment and takedown evasion. Its presence on blocklists and low trust scores further corroborate its malicious nature, reinforcing the need for proactive avoidance. To mitigate risks associated with mellspin.cc, users must refrain from clicking links, downloading files, or entering any credentials on the site. If accidental exposure occurs, immediately change passwords on other accounts, enable multi-factor authentication where possible, and report the domain to relevant cybersecurity platforms like PhishDestroy or your local CERT. Use browser extensions that block known phishing domains and verify URLs through trusted sources before interacting. Organizations should also consider blocking mellspin.cc at the network level to prevent employee exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260418-22D318 Favicon MD5: 095b185e288ed8e4d934ac78fe6a4e2e TLS cert SHA-256: 4fea77393060ab1f6fddfd171d85f57182508bdfebbb88c98014d523264cb01b ## 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/mellspin.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mellspin.cc 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.
