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: ns3.my-ndns.com, ns4.my-ndns.com Registered: 2026-06-26 Expires: 2027-06-26 Page title: 2 Counter ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE1 Expires: 2026-09-25 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: acacd50b8d3eb6088990e4bb720b831852949105405be0d13f4a16303d127f61 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.2counter.xyz ## 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: 2026-06-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 05:45:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 03:47:26 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 08:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1bc7-4e52-713e-b298-ab2da8c0668e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/140a9364-f487-44fe-be1e-9537c40821c2 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/2counter.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.2counter.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=2counter.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/2counter.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/2counter.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 06:00:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The risk level for domain 2counter.xyz is classified as high, with a specific threat type of credential theft. This domain is currently active and registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to the IP address 103.214.71.164 and was created on June 26, 2026. VirusTotal analysis shows that only 1 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain, indicating a low detection rate among security tools, which further elevates the risk associated with this phishing scheme. Infrastructure analysis reveals that 2counter.xyz has not been widely blocklisted, pointing to potentially unmonitored malicious activities. The registration details and the relatively new creation date may indicate an effort to evade detection and gain trust in a short timeframe. Given that this domain’s primary purpose involves credential theft, it is crucial for organizations and users to maintain vigilance when encountering communications or links associated with this domain, as they could lead to compromised accounts or systems. To mitigate risks associated with this credential theft threat, users should avoid interacting with emails or messages leading to 2counter.xyz, employ email filters to block such domains, and utilize multi-factor authentication (MFA) wherever possible. Education on recognizing phishing attempts can further reduce the likelihood of falling victim to such scams. Additionally, organizations should monitor their network traffic for any unusual activities related to the identified IP address. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-3A2629 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: acacd50b8d3eb6088990e4bb720b831852949105405be0d13f4a16303d127f61 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/2counter.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=2counter.xyz 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
