## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 98/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Social Media Phishing

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      17/94 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, Netcraft, OpenPhish, PhishLabs, Sophos, VIPRE
URLQuery:        -1 detections
AlienVault OTX:  2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist
Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-03-28

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
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: 2026-03-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-03-28 04:30:03 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-22 00:21:03 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-10 08:42:00 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

mhezx.com Phishing Site Impersonates Banking Portals – High Risk

This domain, mhezx.com, is identified as a high-risk phishing site designed to impersonate banking and financial service portals. Analysis confirms its classification as generic_phishing, with the primary objective of harvesting user credentials, payment details, and personally identifiable information (PII) through fraudulent login interfaces. As of the latest assessment, the domain has been taken offline, though residual threats may persist in cached or archived forms.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on March 28, 2026, an unusually future-dated creation that may indicate automated or bulk registration tactics. It is flagged by 17 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with Google Safe Browsing explicitly categorizing it as phishing. The domain appears on a single security blocklist, suggesting limited but targeted detection efforts. No associated IP addresses or registrar details were disclosed in available telemetry, though historical records may exist in threat intelligence repositories.  Current status indicates the domain is offline, reducing immediate exposure risk. However, organizations and end-users are advised to implement the following mitigations: block the domain at DNS and proxy levels, revoke any credentials potentially exposed during its active period, and monitor for secondary phishing campaigns leveraging similar naming conventions. Security teams should correlate this domain with other indicators of compromise (IOCs) from the same timeframe, particularly those targeting financial sectors. Future vigilance is recommended, as threat actors frequently re-deploy infrastructure under altered domains.

## 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.
