No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-29 00:44:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-28 21:46:47 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-30 18:06:36 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/019dd60b-3001-7373-8d82-d27001769528/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/0035b9d4-6fe3-4170-a21b-24cc10b4ba7c Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/menidex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.menidex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=menidex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/menidex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/menidex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-29 00:44:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] menidex.com has been identified as an active crypto investment scam domain designed to deceive users into depositing cryptocurrency into fraudulent trading platforms. PhishDestroy's threat intelligence confirms this domain is engaged in a coordinated effort to mimic legitimate financial services, with indicators aligning to classic 'fake investment portal' phishing campaigns targeting crypto enthusiasts and investors. The domain exhibits multiple red flags, including recent creation, association with a high-risk registrar, and deployment of a generic SSL certificate, all of which are typical tactics used to lower user suspicion while facilitating fraudulent transactions. This domain should be treated as a HIGH-risk threat with active exploitation observed. PhishDestroy identifies menidex.com as a confirmed phishing domain with ZERO detections on VirusTotal (0/95 engines), indicating evasion of mainstream detection systems at the time of analysis. This domain was registered through Fewmoretaps OU operating under the alias Trustname.com, a registrar known for facilitating anonymity and has been linked to multiple malicious infrastructures. menidex.com resolves to IP 188.114.96.3, a hosting provider with a history of hosting phishing and scam content. The domain was created on April 15, 2026, suggesting a very recent and opportunistic campaign. Despite using a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may falsely imply legitimacy, the domain lacks any presence on known blocklists or threat intelligence feeds, allowing it to operate undetected. Trust scores from domain reputation services are not yet available due to its recency, further highlighting the need for proactive monitoring. To mitigate exposure to menidex.com and similar crypto investment scams, users and organizations are advised to verify financial service domains through multiple independent sources before engaging. Block the domain at the DNS and network level using threat intelligence feeds that update in real time. Exercise extreme caution when encountering promotions or advertisements referencing menidex.com, especially on social media, forums, or unsolicited emails. Report any observed fraudulent activity involving this domain to cryptocurrency platforms and local cybercrime units. Enterprises should deploy browser and email security policies that flag newly registered domains (NRDs) and domains with low reputation scores. Always cross-validate financial platforms using official websites, regulatory filings, and verified social media accounts before any transaction. Stay informed through threat intelligence platforms and consider using domain monitoring services to track similar emerging threats. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260428-D2D2B7 Favicon MD5: 936386e361020ac6bcebbcc772491fbb TLS cert SHA-256: c1501fa8fb96a2d8ee2775ef5147d84cae3eb2edda1e715d53d84ec7c59713a6 ## 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/menidex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=menidex.com 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.
