ABUSE NOTICE · 7D+ OPEN
Outgoing abuse reports are recorded; the latest stored availability evidence still shows the domain reachable.
Notification and current-status evidence
The sent-report ledger records the first outgoing report at .
The recorded recipient is abuse@dynadot.com.
The latest stored availability evidence still shows the domain reachable; 3 months has elapsed since the first outgoing report.
ICANN RAA §3.18 describes registrar abuse-contact and handling obligations.
This section records outgoing timestamps, listed recipients, case identifiers, and later availability. It does not by itself prove receipt, acknowledgement, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
merchantmoe.finance is currently active and flagged as a phishing domain. Despite only 3 out of 91 VirusTotal vendors marking it as malicious, its presence on a public blocklist and a platform risk score of 71/100 indicate a significant threat. The domain is registered with Dynadot Inc and hosted on an Amazon IP address in the US, leveraging Let's Encrypt for SSL certification.
The domain's creation date is in the future, December 2025, suggesting a potential error or manipulation in registration records. PhishDestroy detected this domain on June 18, 2026, highlighting its role in phishing activities. The domain's abuse score is relatively low at 21/100, but this does not diminish its potential for harm, especially given its active status and the fact that it is already listed on a public blocklist.
Phishing domains like merchantmoe.finance exploit the gap between domain registration and antivirus database updates, often going undetected in the early stages. PhishDestroy's proactive detection underscores the importance of early identification to mitigate risks. Organizations should be aware of such domains and take necessary precautions to protect their users from potential phishing attacks.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
