## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 60/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE

## 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.

Is portal-megaeth.co a Generic Phishing Scam?

PhishDestroy identifies portal-megaeth.co as a domain that poses a generic phishing threat to users, which can lead to potential data breaches and financial losses. The domain resolves to IP 188.114.97.3 and was created on May 01, 2026, with a remarkably low 0/95 detection rate on VirusTotal, indicating that it has not been widely flagged by security software yet, and it is listed on 3 security blocklists, which raises concerns about its legitimacy. 

 This domain was flagged due to its recent creation and lack of reputation, and although it is currently offline, users who may have visited the site before it was taken down should be cautious and monitor their accounts for any suspicious activity, as generic phishing threats can be highly deceptive and may have already compromised sensitive information.

## 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.
