Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies an active phishing campaign at the domain xn--mertkng2011-j79ec.com, which presents itself as MeritKing, a supposedly large online casino platform targeting Turkish and global users. This website is designed to trick visitors into believing it is a legitimate gambling platform offering premium slot and casino games. However, all indicators confirm it is a fraudulent scheme aimed at stealing personal and financial information from unsuspecting victims. The site mimics a professional online casino to gain trust, but users who register or deposit funds are likely to lose money or have their credentials compromised. The page title itself—MeritKing Dünyanın ve Türkiye’nin En Büyük Online Casino Platformu ! | Premium Slot ve Casino Oyunları—attests to the threat actor’s intent to deceive Turkish-speaking users with promises of high-quality, premium gaming experiences while concealing malicious intent behind a polished facade. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy after confirming it had zero detections on VirusTotal as of the latest scan, despite being active and operational. Domain registration details reveal it was created on April 19, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar often associated with newly registered domains of questionable intent. The domain resolves to IP address 5.252.32.34 and uses a valid SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt, which is commonly exploited by threat actors to appear legitimate. Given its recent creation and zero detections on VirusTotal, this domain represents a high-risk, under-the-radar phishing threat targeting Turkish online casino enthusiasts. If you visited xn--mertkng2011-j79ec.com, do not enter any personal information, login credentials, or payment details. Immediately clear your browser cache and cookies related to the site, and consider changing passwords if you entered any—especially if reused across other services. Disconnect from the internet if you interacted with the page, scan your device with updated antivirus software, and file a report with your local cybercrime unit or through national reporting platforms like the Turkish Cybersecurity Incident Response Team (USOM) if you are in Turkey. Avoid clicking any links from this domain in the future, and warn others who may be searching for online casinos. The domain is still active as of investigation time, so exercise caution if you encounter it again—it is not a safe or legitimate platform. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260427-C7D76A Favicon MD5: 7315fb7c6287412c850eb6bfd1884b0d TLS cert SHA-256: c00651515ea60d4d7a8e57abdd26bd74529524191110f6b1a9b03f212744b233 ## 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/xn--mertkng2011-j79ec.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xn--mertkng2011-j79ec.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.
