No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-16 21:43:01 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-16 18:43:26 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-25 12:19:45 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners 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/019d9798-e016-731a-ba5d-af7b07508b85/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/a0b72bb6-98c9-4c87-a554-3f8ee6dcb364 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mexc-listing.fun crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mexc-listing.fun Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mexc-listing.fun AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mexc-listing.fun URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mexc-listing.fun/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-16 21:44:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies mexc-listing.fun as an active domain involved in brand impersonation targeting the cryptocurrency exchange MEXC. The specific threat involves fake login pages designed to deceive users into submitting their credentials, potentially leading to account compromise or asset theft. The domain's risk level remains under investigation as further behavioral analysis is ongoing. Technical data reveals mexc-listing.fun was registered on April 15, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It currently resolves to the IP address 104.21.84.79 and holds a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may lend it an appearance of legitimacy. VirusTotal reports 0 out of 95 vendor detections, indicating it has not been flagged by antivirus or anti-phishing engines yet. Despite no current blocklist entries or negative trust scores, the domain's impersonation tactics and brand targeting raise concerns. Given its active status and potential risk, users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with mexc-listing.fun. Verification of official MEXC communications and direct login through verified platforms is recommended. Security teams should monitor this domain for updates and consider blocking access preemptively. PhishDestroy continues to track the threat and encourages reporting suspicious activity linked to this domain using the unique seed 8f6b98 for reference. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260416-F238C1 Favicon MD5: ed303a3a67d82dbeb1aab3b3dcecec07 TLS cert SHA-256: cf1169cfc977a92a3f6b1abad00ab1cd27b9d08c6a2fff175a27b00740f0e75f ## 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/mexc-listing.fun/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mexc-listing.fun 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.
