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: 2026-06-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 18:14:46 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 16:22:18 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 08:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 00:02:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efa68-c484-719c-afd1-ebdaaa581390/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e2b805c2-68ca-4f95-be2d-6f493dfe9c00 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mercadopagobr.top crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mercadopagobr.top Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mercadopagobr.top AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mercadopagobr.top URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mercadopagobr.top/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:13:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, mercadopagobr.top, is flagged as a credential harvesting phishing site designed to impersonate a legitimate payment platform. The page title, 'mercadopago Brasil: Guia de Apostas, Cassino Online e Pix,' explicitly targets users seeking financial services, including betting, online casinos, and Pix transactions, which are common vectors for stealing login credentials, payment details, and personal information. Analysis indicates the domain is structured to mimic trusted financial interfaces, increasing the likelihood of successful deception among users familiar with these services. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators supporting its malicious classification. The domain was registered through Dynadot LLC on June 11, 2026, a future date suggesting potential domain spoofing or incorrect registration data. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and is flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. Additionally, it appears on one security blocklist and is referenced in a single threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX. The SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services may lend a false sense of legitimacy, further complicating user detection. Users who visited mercadopagobr.top should take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. If credentials or payment details were entered, affected accounts must be secured by changing passwords and enabling multi-factor authentication where available. Financial institutions should be notified to monitor for unauthorized transactions. System scans using updated security tools are recommended to detect any malware or persistent threats. Given the domain's current offline status, users should remain vigilant for similar phishing attempts, particularly those leveraging financial or betting-related themes. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-5133C5 Favicon MD5: 000bf649cc8f6bf27cfb04d1bcdcd3c7 TLS cert SHA-256: 24840632941e1d8785c5bce8726a74ced5ef105fbe1a2917bb31f97fa8913586 ## 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/mercadopagobr.top/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mercadopagobr.top 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.
