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: 2026-06-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-22 16:03:45 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-22 14:05:30 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 00:20:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-23 00:01:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eefa4-1ad4-74e8-bab4-a0b0ce2d23db/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/4bde9f1e-8c1b-4bb7-ba88-b5db54846f61 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/tr.meritbetelite.vip crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.tr.meritbetelite.vip Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=tr.meritbetelite.vip AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/tr.meritbetelite.vip URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/tr.meritbetelite.vip/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 23:26:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The phishing domain tr.meritbetelite.vip is currently active and has been identified early in its lifecycle. Despite having zero detections on VirusTotal, this domain is flagged on one public blocklist, specifically by PhishDestroy. This highlights its freshness and potential threat as it exploits the typical 24-72 hour gap between registration and antivirus database updates. The domain is registered through Dynadot Inc and hosted on an IP address managed by Cloudflare, Inc in the United States. The SSL certificate for tr.meritbetelite.vip is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for phishing operations due to its automated and free certificate issuance process. The platform risk score for this domain is 73 out of 100, indicating a significant threat level. This score reflects the potential for malicious activity, given the domain's characteristics and early detection status. PhishDestroy's detection pipeline operates upstream of antivirus vendors, allowing it to capture threats like tr.meritbetelite.vip during the critical pre-propagation window. This proactive approach ensures that such domains are identified and flagged before they can cause widespread harm. The early detection of this domain underscores the importance of continuous monitoring and rapid response in the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260622-818402 Favicon MD5: 7e9f6389e588641b7d74cde44dcfb4f6 TLS cert SHA-256: b28fc8b117b25c55fd5ec92423b2b23942526e8465a7a2a0d4057196b796cdf7 ## 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/tr.meritbetelite.vip/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tr.meritbetelite.vip 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.
