Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] meritsinvestment.live: Confirmed Phishing Site Analysis of meritsinvestment.live, created on 14 May 2026 and currently active, shows that the domain is already listed on a security blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 50.6.200.60, and the authoritative name servers are ns1.meritsinvestment.live and ns2.meritsinvestment.live, both hosted under the same domain. Registration was performed through Dynadot Inc, a registrar that does not provide additional protective controls. VirusTotal scans have returned detections from two of ninety‑one antivirus engines, indicating that at least a minority of security products have identified malicious behavior associated with the domain. The presence of detections, combined with the blocklist listing, strongly suggests that the site is being used for phishing, consistent with the generic phishing classification supplied. No further public metadata such as SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page title have been disclosed, leaving the exact content of the site unverified. Defenders should continue to enforce blocklist rules, ensure that traffic to 50.6.200.60 is denied at network perimeters, and monitor DNS queries for the domain and its name‑server records. Additional scrutiny through sandbox analysis or manual inspection of the live site is recommended to confirm the phishing payload and to capture any ancillary indicators such as malicious scripts or credential‑stealing forms. Organizations employing email filtering should add meritsinvestment.live to deny‑list rules, and threat‑intelligence platforms should update their indicators of compromise to include the domain, its IP address, and the two name‑server entries. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-1D819A TLS cert SHA-256: 7c1c93710afd058959f81d4c09a1e9fd64cf1ccb23542b6cbf0736665a840089 ## 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/meritsinvestment.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=meritsinvestment.live 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.
