Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC Nameservers: colette.ns.cloudflare.com, karl.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-24 Expires: 2027-06-24 Page title: m.meritking-girisitr.vip/ HTTP response: 502 ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 23:30:54 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 21:32:04 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 12:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 03:04:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efb8a-687f-724e-949f-cf916a7c5e00/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/9ceb6b6f-5c09-4576-90fd-04385222b4e2 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/m.meritking-girisitr.vip crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.m.meritking-girisitr.vip Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=m.meritking-girisitr.vip AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/m.meritking-girisitr.vip URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/m.meritking-girisitr.vip/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:08:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, m.meritking-girisitr.vip, is identified as a phishing infrastructure specifically designed to impersonate the MeritKing online platform. Analysis confirms the domain was actively used to deceive users into disclosing login credentials, financial details, or other sensitive information. As of the latest assessment, the domain has been taken offline, though residual threat indicators remain relevant for forensic and preventative analysis. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 24, 2026, through Global Domain Group LLC, a registrar frequently observed in fraudulent domain registrations. The domain resolves to the IP address 172.67.160.141, which is associated with content delivery networks commonly exploited to mask malicious infrastructure. Security telemetry indicates the domain was flagged by 4 of 95 vendors on VirusTotal, and it appears on one security blocklist. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, was likely used to lend an appearance of legitimacy to the fraudulent site. The page title, m.meritking-girisitr.vip/, further confirms the intent to mimic the legitimate MeritKing login portal, a tactic consistent with credential harvesting campaigns. The current status of the domain is offline, reducing immediate exposure risk. However, organizations and users should treat this domain as a confirmed threat vector. It is recommended to block the domain and associated IP address 172.67.160.141 at the network perimeter. Security teams should review logs for any prior connections to this domain or IP and initiate password resets for accounts potentially exposed. Users should be educated on recognizing phishing tactics, particularly those involving lookalike domains and SSL-enabled fraudulent sites. Monitoring for newly registered domains with similar naming patterns is advised to preempt future threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-D880BA Favicon MD5: 6350c8118fa0970c890a9ce126edeef6 ## 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/m.meritking-girisitr.vip/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=m.meritking-girisitr.vip 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.
