PhishDestroy threat report

Overview

search-melons.duckdns.org is on the PhishDestroy blocklist. Its page is titled "Melon — OSINT поиск", which presents it as a Russian-language OSINT search service for looking up information about people or accounts. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-15. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving content.

How the scam works

PhishDestroy has not assigned this domain a specific scheme type, so this report does not claim one. Unofficial OSINT lookup services carry a general risk. They ask visitors to type in names, phone numbers, usernames or other identifiers, and they sometimes request payment or a login before showing results. Anything entered on a page like this, including the details of the person being searched, should be treated as handed to an unknown operator.

Evidence

Independent detection is thin. On 2026-09-29, 2 of 91 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker and LevelBlue, while the rest returned no verdict. Among blocklists, it appears only on PhishDestroy's. The two vendor hits support caution but do not by themselves establish what the site does.

Infrastructure

The site runs on a subdomain of DuckDNS, a free dynamic DNS service. Anyone can create such an address in minutes without registering a domain of their own, so the name says little about who operates it. The server sits at 93.152.223.40 on the RMP Protection Limited network in Germany. Its Let's Encrypt certificate only means the connection is encrypted and says nothing about whether the site can be trusted.

What to do

If you searched for someone on this site, assume the identifiers you typed are no longer private. If you created an account or reused a password there, change that password everywhere else it is used and turn on two-factor authentication. If you paid for a lookup, contact your card issuer or payment provider about the charge and watch for follow-up phishing that cites the details you entered. Defenders should block the hostname and the IP 93.152.223.40 at the proxy or DNS layer. They should also review logs for users who visited or submitted forms after 2026-09-15.

Questions about search-melons.duckdns.org

Is search-melons.duckdns.org legit?

No. PhishDestroy classifies search-melons.duckdns.org as a blocklisted domain (risk: critical, 71/100); it was first detected on 2026-09-15. VirusTotal: 2/91 engines flag it. Treat the site as unsafe.

Is search-melons.duckdns.org safe to connect a wallet?

No. Do not connect a wallet, sign messages or approve tokens on search-melons.duckdns.org. Phishing sites ask for approvals (approve, setApprovalForAll, Permit2) that let the operator move your assets, and a confirmed transaction cannot be reversed.

What should I do if I used search-melons.duckdns.org?

Change every password you entered there and turn on two-factor authentication. If you connected a wallet or signed something, revoke the approvals and move the remaining funds to a new wallet; never share your seed phrase. Step-by-step help: emergency guide.

Listed domains receive at least one abuse report; this entry has no retained notification history.

If credentials were compromised, report immediately. Do not engage with recovery scammers.

If credentials, payment data, or files were exposed, report the incident immediately. Change affected passwords, revoke active sessions, and scan the device.

After a phishing incident

Recommendations & Advice for Victims

Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.

What should I do immediately?

Urgent

Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.

  • Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
  • Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
  • Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site

What information should I collect for my report?

FBI guidelines

Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗

  • Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
  • Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
  • Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
  • All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including search-melons.duckdns.org)
  • Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used

Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.

Where should I report the scam?

  • FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
  • Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
  • Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
  • Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately

A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.

How do phishing scams typically work?

  • Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
  • Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
  • Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
  • AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect

How can I protect myself in the future?

  • Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
  • Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
  • "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
