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: ["oaklyn.ns.cloudflare.com", "keaton.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-15 Expires: 2027-06-15 Page title: Islands | Build, Fight and Trade on Solana HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-13 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 6a82d73efeac21c926eff623a1b24067bad860bfb72b5ad0ba8eafcc16dfa69d ## 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: 2026-06-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-15 10:30:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-02 12:20:39 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 00:47:57 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ecaef-a8f8-749c-acbd-9f2ea3e82e02/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/app-islands.games crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.app-islands.games Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=app-islands.games AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/app-islands.games URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/app-islands.games/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 18:24:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain app-islands.games poses a significant threat of brand impersonation, specifically targeting the Solana ecosystem. This malicious domain misleads users by mimicking the legitimate brand identity of Solana, potentially leading to unauthorized access or financial loss for unsuspecting individuals. The page title found on the site, "Islands | Build, Fight and Trade on Solana," suggests an attempt to lure users into believing they are interacting with an official Solana platform. Evidence of the malicious nature of app-islands.games includes its registration through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on June 15, 2026. The domain has been flagged by VirusTotal with a detection count of 1 out of 95 security vendors, indicating that it is not widely recognized as malicious, but a single flag is significant enough for concern. Additionally, it appears on three known security blocklists and has been actively blocked by several security entities, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, which further underscores its high-risk status. Users who may have visited app-islands.games should take immediate precautions. It is recommended to check for any unauthorized transactions or account activity related to Solana. Users should change their credentials for any linked accounts and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Furthermore, reporting any suspicious interactions or communications to the relevant authorities may help mitigate potential harm from this domain. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: d41dfaf39323c141ea48c8fe1b772ac5 TLS cert SHA-256: 6a82d73efeac21c926eff623a1b24067bad860bfb72b5ad0ba8eafcc16dfa69d ## 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/app-islands.games/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=app-islands.games 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.
