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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:21:25 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-26 23:21:25 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-23 00:21:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-04 23:48:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019821c0-6b65-71de-98df-0772899db1c4/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/84411fb2-842e-4aec-8cc3-191115690e56 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mexceu.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mexceu.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mexceu.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mexceu.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mexceu.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 21:11:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] mexceu.com Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy The domain mexceu.com is a phishing site engaged in brand impersonation targeting the cryptocurrency exchange MEXC. It was designed to deceive users into believing they are interacting with the legitimate MEXC platform, posing a risk of credential theft or fraudulent transactions. As of the latest verification, mexceu.com has been taken offline, though it previously operated as a cryptocurrency scam site with no confirmed drainer kit in use. Technical indicators for mexceu.com show 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors flagged the domain, and Google Safe Browsing did not detect any malicious activity. The domain appears on 1 security blocklist (PhishDestroy) and was created on February 21, 2026. It resolved to the IP address 2.20.245.139, hosted by Akamai International B.V. in Germany (AS20940), and used an SSL certificate issued by R11. The domain was observed in 1 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse and utilized nameservers associated with AWS (ns-1844.awsdns-38.co.uk, ns-21.awsdns-02.com, ns-1415.awsdns-48.org, and others). No page title was recorded during analysis. Users who may have interacted with mexceu.com should immediately change their MEXC account passwords and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if they entered credentials. Monitor account activity for unauthorized transactions and report any suspicious behavior to MEXC support. Victims should also consider reporting the domain to their local cybercrime authorities or platforms like the FBI’s IC3 or Action Fraud. If cryptocurrency was involved, revoke any token approvals granted to unknown contracts and transfer remaining funds to a new wallet. ## 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/mexceu.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mexceu.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.
