Evidence Summary
CRITICAL
Ref

Score
74/100

PhishDestroy first observed merritoncapital.com on Sep 5, 2026. Stored content metadata identifies Genericscam as the apparent target. The captured page title is “Merriton Capital | CFD Trading — Trading on Stocks, Gold, Oil, Indices”. Page analysis recorded additional brand references to Across, Ethereum, Ledger, and LinkedIn. Current evidence score: 74/100 (critical).

Positive findings are stored from 4 sources: VirusTotal, Spamhaus DBL, URLQuery, and URLScan. VirusTotal recorded 8 detections among 90 engines: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, ESET, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Netcraft, SOCRadar, desenmascara.me on Sep 5, 2026 at 22:25 UTC. Spamhaus DBL: DBL_SPAM on Sep 5, 2026 at 18:30 UTC. URLQuery recorded 1 threat-system alert on Sep 5, 2026 at 16:59 UTC. URLScan returned a malicious verdict with score 100; scan metadata assigned phishing as its category on Sep 5, 2026 at 17:08 UTC. Non-positive and contextual checks: On Sep 5, 2026 at 22:26 UTC, AlienVault OTX listed 4 community pulse references (not vendor detections); Google Safe Browsing returned no flag. The separate external-blocklist snapshot contained no matches on Sep 5, 2026 at 22:20 UTC.

The collector marked the hostname reachable on Sep 5, 2026 at 22:16 UTC, but did not retain the HTTP response code. Registration records for the domain list Atak Domain as the registrar and Sep 2, 2026 as the creation date. Registration preceded first observation by 3 days. At collection time, the hostname resolved to 198.251.81.14. The recorded endpoint location is Staten Island, US. The stored server header is LiteSpeed. DOM analysis on Sep 5, 2026 at 18:22 UTC returned 0/100; the source detections above were recorded separately. The evidence archive retains 3 visual captures from PhishDestroy, URLScan, and URLQuery. TLS metadata lists Let's Encrypt as the certificate issuer.

The content indicators and 4 positive source findings support the current Genericscam impersonation and phishing classification. The target field identifies Genericscam, but the record does not establish whether the page requested credentials, a seed phrase, or a wallet connection.
