In January 2026, PhishDestroy detected 8,919 phishing domains, a 24% decrease from December. 4,657 of them (52.2%) have already been neutralized, while 3,459 remain live and under active escalation. The most abused registrar was NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited with 1,316 malicious domains, followed by PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com (972). Attackers targeted genericcrypto hardest, with x.com a close second.

NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited alone accounts for 14.8% of the month's detections (1,316 domains) — concentration this high indicates systematic abuse, not random sign-ups.
Brand pressure is concentrated on genericcrypto and x.com — 1,429 lookalike domains between them.
The .com TLD leads with 3,244 malicious registrations, ahead of .cc (685).
Dominant drainer kit: Solana Drainer (254 deployments detected).
Average infrastructure response time: 1906h — well beyond any reasonable takedown window.

Outlook

Heading into February 2026, expect continued pressure on genericcrypto users; registrations via NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited remain the primary vector to watch, with Solana Drainer kits still circulating. Full evidence for every domain is published in the public destroylist.
