Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain tr.merit-king-resmigiris.com has been identified as a generic phishing threat and is currently offline. This domain appears to be impersonating the Meritking brand, aiming to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and resolves to the IP address 172.67.168.65, it was created on May 30, 2026, and has been flagged by 4 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating a potential security risk, furthermore, it appears on 1 security blocklist. Given its current offline status, it is crucial for users to exercise extreme caution when encountering similar domains, as they may be resurrected or modified to continue the phishing campaign, PhishDestroy recommends avoiding any interaction with this domain and being vigilant for similar threats, ensuring the security of personal information by verifying the authenticity of websites before providing sensitive data. ## 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/tr.merit-king-resmigiris.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tr.merit-king-resmigiris.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.
