Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain merkantalolol.asia has been classified as a generic phishing threat. It is currently active and poses a high risk to users. No specific brand is associated with this domain, indicating that it may be targeting a wide range of potential victims without a pre-defined focus. The nature of the phishing attack suggests the use of social engineering techniques to gather sensitive information from unsuspecting users. Technical indicators reveal that the domain has a VirusTotal score of 23 out of 95, indicating a significant threat as flagged by a majority of security vendors. The domain is registered through Global Domain Group LLC and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. It was created on June 18, 2026, and is currently active with a Google Trust Services SSL certificate. The domain appears on 2 security blocklists and has been identified in 13 threat intelligence pulses from AlienVault OTX, underscoring its notoriety in the threat landscape. In terms of current status, merkantalolol.asia remains active and is blocked by Hagezi and BLP-Malware. The ongoing threat level is high, and users should exercise caution and avoid interacting with this domain. It is recommended that organizations implement blocking measures at the DNS level and educate employees about the risks associated with phishing schemes. The presence on multiple blocklists and the relatively high VirusTotal detection rate further indicate a pressing need for vigilance against this domain. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: a38d1f23530b7ef0a31612c04552928c3e44197e22a9f22d313d3ea16dcadf5e ## 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/merkantalolol.asia/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=merkantalolol.asia 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.
