## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------

Composite threat score: 46/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/94 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: SOCRadar

----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-04-21

## 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.

merica-win.com — Credential Theft Investigation Report

PhishDestroy identifies merica-win.com as a potential threat that poses a risk of credential theft to unsuspecting visitors, this type of threat is particularly dangerous as it can lead to significant financial loss and identity theft. 
   
This domain was flagged due to its suspicious behavior, with 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal raising concerns, and it also appears on 1 security blocklist, merica-win.com was created on April 21, 2026, which raises further suspicions about its legitimacy. 

If a user visited this website, they should take immediate action to protect themselves, including changing passwords, monitoring their accounts for any suspicious activity, and being cautious when clicking on links or providing sensitive information online, as the site has been taken offline, but the potential damage may have already been done, and it is crucial to be proactive in mitigating any potential harm

## 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.
