Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, giris.merit-king-aktif30.sbs, poses a high-risk credential theft threat targeting users of the Merit King platform. The site is designed to mimic legitimate login portals, tricking visitors into entering sensitive account credentials such as usernames, passwords, and potentially two-factor authentication codes. Once submitted, this information is harvested by threat actors for unauthorized account access, financial theft, or further exploitation in secondary attacks. The domain specifically impersonates Merit King, a recognized brand, increasing the likelihood of successful deception among its user base. Analysis indicates this domain was registered on July 10, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. The site resolves to the IP address 104.21.54.80 and employs Cloudflare infrastructure, which is commonly used to obfuscate hosting origins and evade takedown efforts. Detection metrics from VirusTotal show that 4 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious, a relatively low detection rate that suggests the campaign may still be in its early stages or employing evasion techniques. The use of Google Trust Services SSL certificates further lends an illusion of legitimacy to unsuspecting users. Users who have visited giris.merit-king-aktif30.sbs or entered credentials on this site should take immediate action to mitigate potential compromise. First, change passwords for any accounts accessed or resembling those entered on the site, prioritizing financial and email accounts. Enable multi-factor authentication where available to add an additional layer of security. Monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions, password reset emails, or other suspicious activity. If financial information was entered, contact relevant institutions to report potential fraud and consider placing a fraud alert on credit files. Finally, scan local devices for malware using updated security tools to ensure no additional payloads were delivered during the interaction. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 8f82d071d5315df73670bb345499a802 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/giris.merit-king-aktif30.sbs/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=giris.merit-king-aktif30.sbs Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
