Hosting org: AS44051 Fornex Hosting S.L. 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.

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: 2026-06-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 12:57:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 11:00:42 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:03:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0ddf-14b9-7232-8c73-8a00d62499d0/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/9688ff35-d07a-44ad-a7f9-ebb6850e761d Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/apostil-russia.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.apostil-russia.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=apostil-russia.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/apostil-russia.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/apostil-russia.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 18:56:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain apostil-russia.com is currently flagged as an active credential theft phishing site. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to harvest login credentials, likely targeting individuals seeking authentication services or official documentation. The domain remains operational, with no evidence of takedown or mitigation efforts as of the latest assessment. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 22, 2024, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 89.127.208.84, which has been linked to other malicious activities in recent months. The domain holds a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, reflecting a complete lack of legitimacy. VirusTotal detection rates are minimal, with only 1 of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common tactic among threat actors to lend a false sense of security to visitors. Current status confirms the domain remains active and accessible, posing an ongoing risk to users. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain and its associated IP at the network level. Endpoint protection solutions should be updated to include this domain in their blocklists, and users should be educated on recognizing phishing attempts, particularly those impersonating official documentation services. Monitoring for related domains registered through the same registrar or resolving to the same IP is recommended to preemptively mitigate similar threats. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-2EE4BF Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 940dd2fd65b0f4485aa68d7c7d6e463469395154cf20a53c67f689aa673de998 ## 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/apostil-russia.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=apostil-russia.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.
