# PhishDestroy threat dossier — menequirespot.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 22:57:08 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/menequirespot.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 72/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Webroot AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. 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: brenda.ns.cloudflare.com, konnor.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-09 Expires: 2027-05-09 Page title: Asteroid · Connect ## 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: 2026-05-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-04 18:06:03 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-05 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-04 18:17:26 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f2ddf-b637-76bd-ae65-3d53bcc890e8/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/menequirespot.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.menequirespot.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=menequirespot.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/menequirespot.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/menequirespot.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-04 18:15:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, menequirespot.xyz, is flagged as an active credential theft operation designed to harvest user login credentials through deceptive login portals. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate authentication interfaces, tricking visitors into entering sensitive account details such as usernames, passwords, and potentially multi-factor authentication codes. The threat extends beyond immediate account compromise, as stolen credentials are frequently exploited for lateral movement, financial fraud, or sold on underground markets for further malicious activities. Infrastructure analysis reveals concrete indicators of compromise. The domain was registered on May 09, 2024, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and is flagged by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, including detections for malicious phishing content. The domain appears in one threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX, further corroborating its malicious intent. Technical artifacts include the use of a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, Cloudflare for content delivery, and HTTP/3 for enhanced performance, which may be leveraged to evade detection or improve user experience during the deception. Users who have visited menequirespot.xyz or entered credentials on the site should take immediate action to mitigate risk. First, revoke any active sessions on accounts that may have been exposed and change passwords using a secure, unrelated device. Enable multi-factor authentication if not already active, and monitor accounts for unauthorized access or transactions. If financial or sensitive data was entered, consider placing a fraud alert with relevant institutions and reviewing credit reports for signs of identity theft. Network administrators should block the domain and its associated IP address (188.114.96.3) at the perimeter to prevent further exposure. Additionally, users should scan their devices for malware, as credential theft sites often deploy secondary payloads to maintain persistence. ## 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/menequirespot.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=menequirespot.xyz 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.
