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: 2025-12-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-10 18:35:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-10 16:47:34 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-23 20:20:33 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-14 00:46:00 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eb265-f345-71a9-a11a-cf5dccd8d20b/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/7efb469e-4666-413a-b457-ac91a036c166 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mexc-login.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mexc-login.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mexc-login.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mexc-login.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mexc-login.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 00:14:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] mexc-login.com: Elevated Risk Brand Impersonation Targeting MEXC This domain, mexc-login.com, poses a significant threat as it impersonates the MEXC cryptocurrency exchange. If accessed, it could trick users into revealing their login credentials, leading to potential financial loss and unauthorized account access. The site is designed to mimic the legitimate MEXC login page, making it difficult for unsuspecting users to distinguish between the real and fake sites. Analysis indicates that mexc-login.com was created on December 27, 2025, and is registered through Eranet International Limited. The domain resolves to the IP address 66.29.148.146 and has been flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. It has also been featured in 5 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, further confirming its malicious intent. The site uses technologies such as WordPress, MySQL, PHP, Yoast SEO, and LiteSpeed, which are common in legitimate web development but can also be used to create convincing phishing sites. If a user has visited mexc-login.com, they should immediately change their MEXC account password and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if not already enabled. It is also recommended to monitor account activity for any unauthorized transactions and report the incident to MEXC's support team. Users should be cautious of unsolicited emails or messages that prompt them to log in to their MEXC account and verify the URL to ensure it is the official MEXC domain. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260610-751DCE TLS cert SHA-256: 9f434faba826ec6187291fb7e9338f2136ce6511974e52201db61df836f92689 ## 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/mexc-login.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mexc-login.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.
