5015meritking.com Safety Check — Phishing Detected

Analysis of 5015meritking.com, observed on July 19 2026, classifies the domain as a high‑risk generic phishing site. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 185.53.179.136, which is geolocated to Germany and is operated by the hosting provider TEAM‑INTERNET. Registration records show the domain was created through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu and is served by the nameservers ina1.registrar.eu, ina2.registrar.eu, and ina3.registrar.eu. VirusTotal reports that 4 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain, indicating a modest but non‑trivial detection rate. The site returns HTTP 200, suggesting an active web service, and it is currently listed on one public blocklist and blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service. No additional intelligence such as page content, targeted brand, or malicious payload has been released, leaving the exact phishing vector undefined. Defenders should proactively block the domain and its resolved IP at perimeter firewalls, DNS resolvers, and proxy layers, and add the host to internal threat intelligence feeds. Continuous monitoring of the IP address and associated nameservers is advised to detect any future changes in hosting or content.

## 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.
