VirusTotal:      2/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft
AlienVault OTX:  1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       FewMoreTaps OÜ

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — Trustname / Fewmoretaps OU !!!
Trustname (IANA #4318) is a shell company declaring EUR 120 annual revenue, 1

  https://phishdestroy.io/trustname-bulletproof-exposed

Registered:      2026-04-13
Expires:         2027-04-13

## 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.

Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 17:13:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain poses a specific threat as a generic phishing site, attempting to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. 
   
   The evidence against meritking-orjinal.icu is substantial, with VirusTotal reporting that 2 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain, and it was registered through FewMoreTaps OÜ, indicating a potential lack of transparency in its creation, which occurred on April 13, 2026, and it appears on 1 security blocklist, further solidifying its reputation as a malicious entity, and AlienVault OTX has included it in 1 threat intelligence pulse.

   If users have visited meritking-orjinal.icu, they should immediately take action to protect themselves, including monitoring their accounts for any suspicious activity and changing passwords if necessary, as the domain's generic phishing nature makes it a significant risk to personal and financial information, and since the domain is currently offline, it is crucial to be vigilant and aware of similar threats that may arise in the future, as the tactics used by the operators of meritking-orjinal.icu could be replicated or evolved in new domains

## 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 (volunteer 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.
