Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/meritking.click/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
ACTIVE + CLOAKED — returns HTTP 666 to scanners, real fraudulent site to victims
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Cloaking: DETECTED — domain returns custom HTTP 666 to scanners while serving fraudulent content to real users (type: content_divergence) (score: 1/6)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, PhishFort, SOCRadar
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      188.114.96.3
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is
waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-06-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-11 18:04:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-06-11 16:05:36 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-06-25 00:20:44 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-15 00:34:03 UTC
Current status:    ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-13 11:47:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies meritking.click as a high-risk domain that poses a threat to users by attempting to steal sensitive information through generic_phishing tactics, specifically targeting cryptocurrency. 

 This domain was flagged due to its suspicious behavior, with 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal detecting it as malicious, and it resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, registered through NameSilo, LLC. 

 If a user has visited meritking.click, they should immediately monitor their accounts for any suspicious activity and change their passwords to prevent potential credential theft, and be cautious of similar domains that may be impersonating reputable brands, as indicated by the unique seed adf795.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260611-CC63C7
TLS cert SHA-256:      f23033ae9bae5e044ce9f5ffc11e4afb4c3a8e1528ff93e9bb7e40087830c449

## 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.
