Network Security Intelligence Registrar Integrity Alert

Registrar Integrity Alert

This domain is registered via NameSilo — a registrar that publicly lies, shields scammers, and retaliates against researchers.

NameSilo was documented protecting a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet[.]com) across ten continuous years while publicly denying abuse reports that PhishDestroy personally filed 20+ times. When we published the evidence, NameSilo’s response was to get our X account banned — on a justification X’s own automated review later called “no violation.”

Publicly lied about receiving abuse reports — 20+ notices sent by us over 3 years with preserved delivery receipts.
Shielded a $20M+ theft operation for 10 years behind bulletproof DDoS-Guard infrastructure.
Retaliated against researchers by weaponizing X’s abuse channel to silence our account.
Offered to help remove VirusTotal detections for a known phishing domain — on record.

Advisory for researchers, journalists & victims

Expect active deception from NameSilo — not merely abuse-report indifference, but false statements about how many reports they received. After exposure, they will typically claim no reports existed and pressure platforms to remove your published evidence.

Always CC a second authority (compliance@icann.org, sponsoring TLD registry, or CERT/LEA) on every abuse ticket.
Preserve delivery receipts — SMTP return-paths, auto-responder confirmations, ticket IDs.
Archive publicly before publishing — Wayback Machine, archive.today.

Accreditation and RAA context

ICANN Got Paid. Accountability Did Not Arrive.

For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN contract. ICANN collects annual, variable and transaction-based fees tied to registrations, renewals and transfers.

Accreditation: monetized. Accountability: please check back later.

Then the magic starts: ICANN writes RAA §3.18, the registrar investigates abuse inside its own customer base, and victims deliver the evidence for free while every layer waits for someone else to act. If that makes victims feel safer, excellent—the invoice worked.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety seal. Verify ICANN fees Read RAA §3.18 PHISHDESTROY INVESTIGATIONThe ICANN Cartel: $155M for Broken Contracts
