No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## 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 17:59:37 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-06-11 16:00:34 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-22 00:20:33 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eb768-aa15-736a-9c8f-b0ec3ff8cf6e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/75741f52-a4b6-40e1-b3d1-546d463f61b9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/m.merit-kingonline.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.m.merit-kingonline.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=m.merit-kingonline.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/m.merit-kingonline.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/m.merit-kingonline.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-13 11:47:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies m.merit-kingonline.com as a generic_phishing domain, potentially impersonating a brand, with no specific drainer kit identified. This domain was flagged with a VirusTotal score of 4/95, registered through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com, resolving to IP 172.67.167.169, and holding an SSL certificate from Google Trust Services / WE1, with its creation date and GSB status not specified, and a blocklist count of 4. The current status of m.merit-kingonline.com is active with an elevated risk level, prompting response actions to block and avoid the domain, as the remaining risk to users is significant, with PhishDestroy recommending verification and caution when encountering this domain, using the unique seed e40202 for reference. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260611-14AE35 Favicon MD5: 27acfa79455362b673a4e76f7be8be95 TLS cert SHA-256: 0602b1e66334e336bd5d516515b1bc320f9b6f1fb702abed455af7dc5d639002 ## 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.merit-kingonline.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=m.merit-kingonline.com 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.
