Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Analysis indicates that merit-king-guvenli17.icu was registered on 10 July 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is currently pointing to the IP address 172.67.223.226. The domain uses Cloudflare’s authoritative name servers kelly.ns.cloudflare.com and merlin.ns.cloudflare.com, providing CDN and DNS protection that can obscure the true hosting location. The short registration window combined with active status aligns with the generic_phishing classification supplied in the intelligence feed. No additional content, page title, or brand targeting information is available, so the precise phishing lure remains unknown. The infrastructure choices—rapid domain creation, reliance on Cloudflare, and a single IPv4 address—are typical of low‑cost phishing campaigns that aim to evade takedown. Defenders should consider adding merit-king-guvenli17.icu to blocklists, enforce DNS sink‑holing for the resolved IP, and monitor outbound traffic for connections to 172.67.223.226. Continued observation is advised to capture any future payloads or redirects that may clarify the phishing vector. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260714-0EAF46 TLS cert SHA-256: 61a1a02dd5ad02e0cfeed1bfd7d41a712a498ef603f63ee4ac32eb299db025e3 ## 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/merit-king-guvenli17.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=merit-king-guvenli17.icu 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.
