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: ["jillian.ns.cloudflare.com", "lakas.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: 115224-crypto.com | 521: Web server is down ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-04-24 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 7757cc0f3413666db999b6ed8dc54ee2b8fb41d433b4e574e3338c0225a10d9f ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:22:21 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-13 01:41:54 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-02 22:01:10 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01991139-92f4-74c8-8bf0-e89c3b5fc1ae/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/115224-crypto.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.115224-crypto.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=115224-crypto.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/115224-crypto.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/115224-crypto.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:47:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies 115224-crypto.com as a low-risk brand impersonation attempt targeting Crypto.com. The domain was created recently, on February 21, 2026, and aims to deceive users by mimicking the well-known cryptocurrency platform. Although it models Crypto.com's brand, only minimal threat activity has been observed, and user impact currently appears limited. Technically, 115224-crypto.com was registered through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and resolved to the IPv6 address 2606:4700:3035::ac43:b412, which belongs to the Cloudflare network. VirusTotal flagged it with a low detection rate, with just 2 out of 95 security vendors identifying it as suspicious. The domain also appeared on three security blocklists, signaling some concern from monitoring entities. The website returned an error message indicating the web server was down (521 error), suggesting it was not functional at the time of assessment. As of the current status, 115224-crypto.com is offline, reducing immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding any engagement with this domain or inputting any personal or financial data should the site become active again. Users should always access Crypto.com’s services through official channels and verify URLs carefully to prevent falling victim to impersonation or phishing schemes. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 7757cc0f3413666db999b6ed8dc54ee2b8fb41d433b4e574e3338c0225a10d9f ## 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/115224-crypto.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=115224-crypto.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.
