## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 62/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      2/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft
AlienVault OTX:  8 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       FewMoreTaps OÜ

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

## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 17:11:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The meritkingpro.icu domain is associated with a generic phishing threat, and it does not appear to be specifically targeting a well-known brand or utilizing a particular crypto drainer kit. This domain was flagged by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and it was registered through FewMoreTaps OU, with a creation date of April 13, 2026, and it currently has a blocklist count of 1, while its VT score stands at 2/95, indicating a relatively low level of detection by security vendors.

 The domain meritkingpro.icu has been found in 8 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, and its current status is offline, suggesting that it may have been taken down, however, PhishDestroy identifies that it still poses an elevated risk level due to its recent creation and the fact that it was able to evade detection by a significant number of security vendors. 

 As the domain is currently offline, response actions may be limited, but users are still advised to exercise caution when encountering similar domains, and to verify the authenticity of websites on PhishDestroy to minimize the risk of falling victim to phishing attacks, and it is also worth noting that the domain's registrar and IP information could provide valuable insights into the threat actors behind this campaign, and further analysis is needed to determine the full scope of this threat.

## 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.
