The domain meritking8003.com is actively engaged in generic phishing activities, specifically targeting users with fake login pages designed to steal credentials and personal information. The domain's infrastructure and behavioral patterns indicate a high risk of data compromise and potential financial loss for unsuspecting visitors.

The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on June 10, 2026, and appears on 1 security blocklist, further suggesting its malicious intent. Additionally, the domain has been referenced in 4 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, which highlights its involvement in ongoing phishing campaigns.

Users who have visited meritking8003.com should immediately change their passwords and enable two-factor authentication for all affected accounts.

To prevent future exposure, users should exercise caution when clicking on links in emails or messages and verify the authenticity of login pages by directly accessing the official websites of the services they use.

## 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.
