No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 14:59:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 14:51:01 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 04:20:35 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e4f-5c04-7742-8d2d-71d3b46a0769/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/af504e80-de1a-496a-b94d-85238588ebc9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mendefa.cfd crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mendefa.cfd Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mendefa.cfd AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mendefa.cfd URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mendefa.cfd/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 15:00:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, mendefa.cfd, is flagged as a generic phishing site designed to harvest user credentials through fraudulent login interfaces. Analysis indicates no association with known legitimate brands or drainer kits at this stage, though the infrastructure aligns with typical phishing campaigns. The domain lacks distinctive branding, suggesting a broad or opportunistic targeting strategy rather than a tailored impersonation effort. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: VirusTotal detection score of 0/95, indicating no current antivirus or security vendor flags. The domain was registered on June 26, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently observed in malicious domain registrations. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which has no prior blocklist history in this context. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status remains unconfirmed, and no blocklist entries were identified at the time of analysis. The domain remains active and under investigation, with no takedown or sinkholing actions observed. Response actions are pending further telemetry and confirmation of victim impact. The remaining risk is elevated due to the domain's operational status and lack of detection coverage across security platforms. Users are advised to block the domain at the DNS level and monitor network logs for connections to 188.114.97.3. Security teams should treat any interaction with mendefa.cfd as a potential credential compromise event and initiate password resets for affected accounts. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed - VirusTotal detections: now 14/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-BF6DB6 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: f8fb18ee480ba9c23ce32eb42f15c59dc5c7f2be8d70abc4f1c99df87e895d28 ## 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/mendefa.cfd/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mendefa.cfd 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.
