methx[.]vip

On July 24 2026, the domain methx.vip was observed to be serving a generic phishing page that references Ethereum. The site returned HTTP 503, indicating the content was not delivered at the time of retrieval, and the domain is currently taken offline. DNS resolution points to the IPv6 address 2606:4700::6813:efe0, which belongs to Cloudflare’s network (AS13335) located in the United States. The authoritative nameservers are osmar.ns.cloudflare.com and rosa.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming Cloudflare as the hosting provider. The TLS certificate presented is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 root, showing a valid certificate chain despite the malicious intent.

The page title captured during the brief crawl was “Ethereum.org: イーサリアム完全ガイド”, a Japanese-language reference to the official Ethereum documentation, suggesting an attempt to lure users interested in cryptocurrency. The site’s front‑end stack was identified as Ant Design and React, delivered over HTTP/3 through Cloudflare, a common pattern for modern phishing kits. The registrar listed is Dynadot LLC, and the domain was registered on 21 February 2026. Reputation services provide mixed signals: Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 / 100, and VirusTotal recorded detections by four of ninety‑three AV engines, indicating that at least some scanners consider the payload suspicious. The domain appears on one external blocklist and has been flagged by the PhishDestroy service, confirming community awareness of its malicious use.

Because the domain is presently offline, active mitigation such as sink‑holing is not possible, but defenders should continue to block the IPv6 address and the associated Cloudflare nameservers at perimeter devices. Security tools that ingest reputation feeds should ingest the domain, its registrar, and the SSL fingerprint to prevent future re‑use.
