“Web3 Connect Demo”
Evidence Summary
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.
