mercadondo.rest is an impersonation phishing site. Its name plays on "mercado", the Spanish and Portuguese word for market, a pattern lookalike domains use to borrow trust from well-known shopping and payment brands. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-13. On 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving live content, so it remains a working trap.
How the scam works
Impersonation pages copy the look of a brand people already use, such as a login screen, checkout or account notice, so visitors act before checking the address bar. Links usually arrive through ads, search results, messages or emails that promise a deal or warn of a problem with an account or order. Whatever is typed in, whether passwords, one-time codes, card numbers or personal details, goes straight to the operators. They then use it to take over accounts, make purchases or resell the data.
Evidence
17 of 89 VirusTotal engines marked the domain as malicious on 2026-09-21. The vendors flagging it include BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, alphaMountain.ai, ADMINUSLabs, CyRadar and the Vietnamese anti-phishing group Chong Lua Dao. These are independent engines reaching the same verdict, not a single noisy source. The domain also appears in five AlienVault OTX threat pulses, so other researchers have tracked it too. It is listed on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Namecheap on 2026-03-26, about 171 days before PhishDestroy detected it. That gap suggests a domain registered in advance and activated later rather than a throwaway spun up the same day. Traffic runs through Cloudflare's network on an address geolocated to Canada, which hides the real origin server. Its Let's Encrypt certificate gives it a browser padlock, which only means the connection is encrypted and says nothing about whether the site is honest.
What to do
If you entered a password on this site, change it at once on the real service and on any account that shares it, then turn on app-based two-factor authentication. If you entered card or bank details, call your bank to block the card and dispute unfamiliar charges. Watch for follow-up calls or messages that cite your order or account, because stolen data is often reused for a second round of fraud. Defenders should block the domain at DNS and proxy level, search mail and web logs for past visits, and reset credentials for any users who reached it.
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
