Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response.

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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-11 18:07:02 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-11 16:07:52 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-15 00:34:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eb76f-3b41-70fa-8968-60dada9f0dd0/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/2b74a6ec-1d71-4d28-9b5a-5d323b52fb64 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/m-mertkingi03.icu crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.m-mertkingi03.icu Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=m-mertkingi03.icu AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/m-mertkingi03.icu URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/m-mertkingi03.icu/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 23:38:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain m-mertkingi03.icu has been flagged as involved in generic phishing activities. This classification is supported by various threat intelligence sources, although no specific brand targeting or drainer kits were identified in this instance. The domain's homepage bore only the name 'm-mertkingi03.icu' as its page title, offering limited initial information on its phishing methodology or targets. Technical indicators suggest a concerning level of risk associated with this domain. Specifically, it has been identified by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal as engaging in malicious activities. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to the IP address 172.67.182.154. Its creation date is notably in the future, listed as June 11, 2026, which may point to data entry errors or potential manipulation. Furthermore, the domain is currently blocked by PhishDestroy and appears on one security blocklist. The SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services does not mitigate the red flags raised by these indicators. Currently, m-mertkingi03.icu is offline, which reduces immediate risks but does not completely eliminate them. The response actions have effectively neutralized the active threat from this domain, but vigilance remains necessary. Security teams should continue monitoring for any reactivation or related threats, ensuring system protections are updated to block this and similar domains preemptively. The elevated risk level warrants continued observation and readiness to counter potential future phishing campaigns originating from or connected to this infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260611-7B3B81 TLS cert SHA-256: 7e9c325f2d485491b93daa4bfa01686039bef967da0d60895d8a8bf2ca716365 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/m-mertkingi03.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=m-mertkingi03.icu 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
