No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 14:38:43 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-08 16:45:10 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f41bb-45a2-721a-a9e1-76bc00103407/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/metaeth-tge.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.metaeth-tge.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=metaeth-tge.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/metaeth-tge.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/metaeth-tge.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 15:00:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, metaeth-tge.app, is actively engaged in cryptocurrency phishing targeting users of the MegaETH platform. Analysis indicates the site is designed to impersonate a legitimate token generation event (TGE) for MegaETH, a known blockchain project, with the intent to harvest credentials or deploy crypto-draining malware. The domain remains operational and poses a high risk to visitors seeking early access to token launches or investment opportunities. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on April 27, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which has been flagged by 4 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal for malicious activity. The page title, "Road to TGE | MegaETH," directly mimics branding associated with MegaETH, increasing the likelihood of successful social engineering. No legitimate association with the official MegaETH project has been verified, and the domain lacks transparency in ownership or contact details. Current status indicates the domain remains active and accessible. Users are advised to avoid interaction with metaeth-tge.app and any associated links or communications. Network-level blocking of the IP 188.114.96.3 is recommended for enterprise environments. Individuals who may have engaged with the site should immediately revoke access to any connected crypto wallets, scan systems for malware, and monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions. Verification of token launch events should be conducted exclusively through official MegaETH channels. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: d02f315a9e087e94f666af41389c971d TLS cert SHA-256: 25ebc6126f8dae1e05737188e648d7c2b626ea0e3835c4c1badc4a246ea8babf ## 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/metaeth-tge.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=metaeth-tge.app 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.
