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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-26 15:56:58 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-26 14:02:39 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-26 18:16:44 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0437-0ef4-77be-a676-aeeadeed7093/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/9d4769cf-9695-4dfd-9a45-467007e37695 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/merowin.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.merowin.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=merowin.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/merowin.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/merowin.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 16:06:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Merowin.com presents a significant risk due to its activities related to brand impersonation, specifically targeting the crypto casino and gambling sector. The domain's page title claims it is the 'Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain,' attempting to mimic legitimate businesses in this industry. Brand impersonation can lead to serious consequences such as loss of trust, data leaks, and financial damage for both users who fall victim and the brands that are impersonated. Users visiting this domain may believe they are interacting with a trusted service, potentially placing their data and digital assets at risk. Evidence supporting the malicious nature of Merowin.com includes its registration through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com. The domain resolves to IP address 172.67.222.126 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which might give it an appearance of legitimacy despite its fraudulent purpose. It was created on June 10, 2026, and remains active with ongoing malicious activity. VirusTotal shows that 13 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain, highlighting a significant portion of security systems identifying it as potentially harmful. Additionally, the domain has been detected in an AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse, further corroborating its malicious intent. Users who have visited Merowin.com should take immediate steps to secure their systems and data. It is advised to conduct a thorough scan using reputable antivirus and anti-malware software to detect and mitigate any potential threats acquired during a visit to the site. Users should also change passwords associated with any accounts that may have been accessed during the interaction with the domain. Furthermore, monitoring financial accounts and digital wallets for any unauthorized transactions is crucial to prevent potential identity theft or financial loss. Educating oneself about brand impersonation tactics can also help avoid similar threats in the future. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260626-D70491 Favicon MD5: c3d9e7ac8ad834ae3d129c8c7a595a4f TLS cert SHA-256: e0cb128f3892846e655f2cb21b166e6aa17f48930d7ceb9bb2dcae3a3ed5d895 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/merowin.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=merowin.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
