No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-27 06:45:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-27 08:00:40 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019fa1e0-c37b-769b-b1ce-179e35a0132a/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/meritking4088.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.meritking4088.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=meritking4088.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/meritking4088.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/meritking4088.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-27 06:46:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] meritking4088.com Credential Harvesting Site Analysis of meritking4088.com indicates that the domain was registered on July 11, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is currently resolved to the IP address 188.114.96.3. The authoritative name servers are dean.ns.cloudflare.com and magali.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming that the domain is hosted behind Cloudflare’s CDN infrastructure. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service, suggesting that threat‑intelligence feeds have identified it as malicious. A VirusTotal scan was performed by 91 AV vendors; none of the scanners reported a detection, but the absence of a detection does not constitute assurance of safety. No additional public data such as page title, SSL certificate details, or HTTP response codes are presently available for this domain. The limited observable footprint—newly created domain, Cloudflare hosting, and inclusion on a blocklist—aligns with typical patterns used by actors to launch short‑lived credential‑harvesting campaigns. Defenders should consider adding meritking4088.com and its resolving IP 188.114.96.3 to outbound and inbound deny lists, monitor for any DNS queries to the associated Cloudflare name servers, and continue to observe threat‑intel feeds for any emergence of related indicators. Ongoing reconnaissance of the hosting environment and periodic re‑scans with VirusTotal or other sandboxes are recommended to capture any future payload changes or detection updates. ## 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/meritking4088.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=meritking4088.com 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.
