## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 46/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: PhishFort
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-06-01

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
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: 2026-06-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-22 08:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-09 10:24:37 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

tr.meritkingofficial.co - Emerging Phishing Threat

The domain tr.meritkingofficial.co is currently active and poses a phishing threat. It has been flagged by PhishDestroy and one other vendor on VirusTotal out of 91. The domain was created on June 1, 2026, and is already involved in malicious activities.

This domain is part of a phishing operation, taking advantage of its new registration to evade detection. The fact that only one vendor on VirusTotal currently flags it as malicious highlights the ongoing challenge of identifying new threats quickly. PhishDestroy's early detection and blocklisting of this domain underscore its potential risk.

Phishing domains like tr.meritkingofficial.co exploit the critical period between domain creation and widespread recognition by antivirus databases. This window allows threat actors to conduct scams with reduced interference. PhishDestroy's proactive measures aim to mitigate such threats before they become widespread, providing an essential layer of security during this vulnerable phase.

## 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.
