## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      94.103.183.9 (RU, Moscow)

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:21:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies dappconnect.coinmerges.live as a high-risk generic phishing domain primarily targeting cryptocurrency users attempting to connect their wallets. The domain’s page title, "Connect Wallet," suggests malicious intent to deceive users into exposing sensitive wallet credentials or private keys. This classification is based on behavioral patterns typical of phishing campaigns aimed at exploiting decentralized finance (DeFi) participants.

Technical indicators reveal that dappconnect.coinmerges.live resolves to the IP address 94.103.183.9 and is registered through the RIPE NCC registry. VirusTotal data shows that 14 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain for suspicious activity. Additionally, the domain appears on two security blocklists, reinforcing its malicious reputation. These combined data points provide strong evidence of the domain's involvement in phishing operations targeting digital asset holders.

As of the latest analysis, dappconnect.coinmerges.live has been taken offline, disrupting its ability to victimize users. PhishDestroy recommends maintaining vigilance for similar phishing domains that mimic wallet connection interfaces. Users should always verify URLs carefully and avoid entering wallet credentials on untrusted websites. The removal of this domain from active threat space is a positive step, but ongoing monitoring is advised to prevent re-emergence or related phishing campaigns.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       102058499c0eeb1fdd186bb4ab7b2d578b4663607f625629ad1286f089ae302a

## 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 (volunteer 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.
