Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Analysis of merit-king-resmi41.icu shows the domain was registered on 10 July 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is currently hosted on Cloudflare DNS (konnor.ns.cloudflare.com, tess.ns.cloudflare.com). The domain resolves to IP 188.114.96.3, which is a Cloudflare edge address commonly used to hide the true origin of malicious hosting. The domain is flagged as a generic phishing campaign and remains active as of the reporting date. No web‑page content, page title, or payload has been publicly disclosed, so the exact phishing lure and targeted brand remain unknown. The short registration window and use of Cloudflare for anonymization are consistent with opportunistic phishing infrastructure. Defenders should proactively block merit-king-resmi41.icu at DNS and URL filtering layers, monitor outbound traffic for connections to 188.114.96.3, and incorporate the domain into threat‑intel feeds. Because the underlying hosting server is concealed behind Cloudflare, additional investigation of the origin IP, if revealed, may be required. Continuous observation is recommended to detect any emergence of malicious content or related campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260714-084CC8 Favicon MD5: fafaaae1a9f39c6d85756bb6f281a6a1 TLS cert SHA-256: d434a3c99cc3171092046be4eb852dce840b1a35528cc2b591d4416355d42bb6 ## 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-resmi41.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=merit-king-resmi41.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.
