Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The risk level associated with mercadolibregf.com is classified as high due to its identification as a generic phishing threat aimed at brand impersonation. This domain mimics the legitimate ‘Mercado Libre’ and represents a significant risk for users who may mistakenly trust its content. Infrastructure analysis indicates that mercadolibregf.com resolves to IP address 103.1.40.161. The domain was created recently on July 07, 2026, and is currently active with a Google Safe Browsing flag for social engineering. Furthermore, it has a VirusTotal detection rate of 12 out of 95 security vendors which signifies notable concern. The domain is registered through Dominet (HK) Limited and has been identified in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse. Trust in the domain is further diminished by the use of technologies like Vue.js and Nginx, along with the SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, which is commonly associated with both legitimate and malicious sites. Mitigation steps for users include maintaining vigilance against unsolicited login prompts or requests for sensitive information, particularly those impersonating reputable brands. Users are advised to verify URLs for discrepancies and not to engage with links from untrusted sources. Organizations should deploy advanced email filtering and educate users on recognizing indicators of phishing attempts to reduce risks associated with such domains. Regular monitoring of domain registrations and threat intelligence feeds can also aid in the early detection and mitigation of emerging phishing threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 7a4dfce0901be0a5365e90ab66b68aa3fd690c307d47195110985bcd003e31c8 ## 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/mercadolibregf.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mercadolibregf.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
