Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["alexia.ns.cloudflare.com", "damon.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-05-15 Page title: 1-line: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-10 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 863b60f1bdb3f71b9308b3eefb061ce7e4da1f162a677e214e5343bc296d3950 ## 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: 2026-05-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-15 08:52:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-21 02:13:14 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-15 18:15:11 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e2a30-94a7-75b5-b2da-8ea1c3111fa7/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/1-line.vip crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.1-line.vip Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=1-line.vip AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/1-line.vip URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/1-line.vip/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-15 08:52:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has flagged 1-line.vip as an active domain engaged in brand impersonation, specifically targeting the Linea ecosystem. The domain was registered recently, on May 12, 2026, and despite its low detection rate on VirusTotal—currently 0 out of 95 engines—it has already resolved to a suspicious IP address, 188.114.96.3. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar known for hosting numerous malicious and impersonation campaigns. Additionally, the domain utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may be leveraged to lend an air of legitimacy to its fraudulent activities. As of now, the domain has not been flagged on any major blocklists or threat intelligence platforms, and its trust scores remain unverified, further highlighting the need for immediate scrutiny. The technical indicators associated with 1-line.vip paint a concerning picture. The domain's lack of detection on VirusTotal suggests it is either very new or employing evasion techniques to bypass security measures. Its association with NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED is particularly alarming, as this registrar has been repeatedly linked to phishing and impersonation schemes. The domain resolves to 188.114.96.3, an IP address known for hosting fraudulent and malicious content. The use of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate is a common tactic among threat actors to deceive users into believing the site is legitimate. The domain's recent creation date, May 12, 2026, indicates a short operational window, which could be an attempt to avoid prolonged scrutiny or detection. Without active blocklisting or reputation scoring, the domain remains a low-risk but high-potential threat, particularly for users familiar with or invested in the Linea ecosystem. Given the specific threat of brand impersonation, organizations and users should take immediate steps to mitigate risk. First, block access to 1-line.vip at the network and endpoint levels to prevent accidental exposure. Second, update threat intelligence feeds and blocklists to include this domain and its associated IP address, 188.114.96.3. Third, educate users, particularly those within the Linea community, about the risks of interacting with unfamiliar domains, even those that appear legitimate due to SSL certificates. Finally, consider reporting the domain to relevant authorities, such as CERT teams or the registrar NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, to expedite takedown efforts. Proactive monitoring of similar domains, especially those registered recently, is critical to preventing further impersonation attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 095b185e288ed8e4d934ac78fe6a4e2e TLS cert SHA-256: 863b60f1bdb3f71b9308b3eefb061ce7e4da1f162a677e214e5343bc296d3950 ## 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/1-line.vip/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=1-line.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
