Evidence Summary

Ref
9C0C7379
Score
65/100

The domain app.merkl.claims, associated with a high threat score of 75/100, is confirmed as a generic phishing operation and is currently down. It has been flagged as malicious by 4 out of 95 security vendors, including Fortinet and SOCRadar, and is listed on 2 public blocklists, indicating a recognized threat. Google Safe Browsing has not flagged this domain, suggesting it may have been operational for a limited time before being taken down.

Registered with Cloudflare, Inc., the domain's first-seen date is December 16, 2025, and it resolves to the hosting IP 188.114.97.3. The lack of a specific brand being impersonated indicates a broader phishing strategy rather than targeting a single entity. Immediate action should involve blocking the domain at the perimeter and submitting it to the registrar's abuse desk for further investigation.
