NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response.

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: 2026-06-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 13:30:04 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-29 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:03:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0dfd-6fa3-773c-842a-db2fc1f9ff01/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mertiking50853.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mertiking50853.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mertiking50853.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mertiking50853.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mertiking50853.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 18:01:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is currently under investigation for operating as a generic phishing infrastructure targeting online gambling users. Analysis indicates the site presents itself as a portal for Meritking, a known gambling platform, with the page title 'Meritking Güncel Giriş Rehberi 2026 | Bonus, Casino ve Bahis,' suggesting an attempt to deceive users seeking login guides, bonuses, or betting services. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain mertiking50853.com was registered on June 24, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.4.54 and is hosted with an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services (WE1). Despite its recent creation, the domain appears on one security blocklist, though VirusTotal reports 0 out of 95 detections, indicating no current antivirus flags. The site remains active at the time of this assessment. Mitigation steps for users and organizations include blocking the domain at the network level, particularly in environments where gambling-related content is restricted. Users should verify the legitimacy of gambling portals by cross-referencing official domains and avoiding sites with recent creation dates or unclear registration details. Financial institutions and payment processors are advised to monitor transactions originating from this domain for fraudulent activity. Given the lack of detections, automated systems may not yet flag this domain, necessitating manual review of associated indicators. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: d758c708d72239235ede52186a54e0416d41c4d59a5f44e4527c91d76d609e75 ## 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/mertiking50853.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mertiking50853.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.
