Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain int.merit-king-linki81.sbs was registered on July 12, 2026 and immediately resolves to the Cloudflare‑owned IP address 188.114.96.3, located in Canada. DNS resolution is handled by the Cloudflare name servers jerome.ns.cloudflare.com and sloan.ns.cloudflare.com. The site serves an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 profile, and the infrastructure is observed to support HTTP/3. An HTTP 520 response is returned, indicating an unknown server error, which is consistent with a misconfigured or deliberately obfuscated service. Reputation data shows the domain appears on a single security blocklist and is specifically blocked by PhishDestroy. VirusTotal scans report six detections out of ninety‑five vendors, reinforcing the suspicion of malicious intent. The threat classification is generic phishing with a high risk rating and the domain remains active. While the exact content of the site has not been examined, the combination of recent creation, use of reputable CDN services to conceal origin, blocklist inclusion, and multiple vendor detections constitute strong evidence of phishing activity. Defenders should prioritize blocking the domain at network perimeters, adding the IP address to reputation feeds, and monitoring DNS queries for the associated Cloudflare name servers. Continuous re‑scanning is advised to detect any changes in payload or hosting configuration. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 8f82d071d5315df73670bb345499a802 TLS cert SHA-256: 7cda54e291e5e3059a7ed545c2f579bf4a62b51ebd9026a338cb47af3939c23a ## 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/int.merit-king-linki81.sbs/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=int.merit-king-linki81.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.
