================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-17 05:41:01 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/m.meritking1-resmi.vip/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 58/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      12/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, PhishFort, SOCRadar, Sophos
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-06-11
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: 2026-06-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-11 18:30:32 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-17 04:20:40 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-09 10:24:41 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 23:42:55 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.meritking1-resmi.vip, is flagged as an active credential theft infrastructure targeting cryptocurrency wallet users. Analysis indicates the site employs brand impersonation techniques, mimicking legitimate crypto platforms to harvest login credentials, private keys, and recovery phrases. No specific drainer kit signatures have been identified in available telemetry, but the domain structure and behavioral patterns align with credential harvesting campaigns commonly used in crypto-related fraud.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on June 11, 2026, through an undisclosed registrar, with a VirusTotal detection score of 12/95 security vendors. The domain appears on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, and resolves to an IP address not publicly disclosed in current threat feeds. Google Safe Browsing status remains unconfirmed at this time. The creation date suggests either a typo-squatting attempt or a pre-registered domain intended for future malicious use, given the future timestamp.  Current status indicates the domain remains active and operational, posing an elevated risk to users interacting with crypto-related content. Response actions should include immediate blocking at the DNS and network levels, along with user education on verifying domain authenticity before entering sensitive credentials. Despite partial detection coverage, the domain's low blocklist presence and future registration date suggest potential evasion tactics. Users are advised to enable multi-factor authentication, verify SSL certificates, and cross-reference domain names with official sources to mitigate credential theft risks associated with this infrastructure.

## 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.
