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.

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: 2026-06-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-10 22:06:37 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-10 20:14:59 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 04:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 08:18:18 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eb323-8cdc-758f-b862-a278a75112ff/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/6f140be7-7b0d-4a3a-9fda-1916705d8c9b Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/apyx-finances.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.apyx-finances.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=apyx-finances.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/apyx-finances.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/apyx-finances.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 14:23:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain apyx-finances.xyz is identified as a generic phishing threat with a high risk level. It is not directly associated with a specific brand or known drainer kit. However, its purpose is to deceive users and potentially steal sensitive information. Analysis indicates that the domain has a VirusTotal score of 6/95, suggesting that it is flagged by a significant number of security vendors. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to the IP address 172.67.201.211. It was created on June 10, 2026, and is issued an SSL certificate by Google Trust Services / WE1. The domain appears on 3 security blocklists and is blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. The domain remains active, and users are advised to exercise caution. Response actions include blocking the domain through known security vendors and monitoring for any further activity. The remaining risk is high, as the domain continues to be a potential vector for phishing attacks. Users are recommended to avoid visiting this domain, refrain from providing any personal or financial information, and report any suspicious activity to their security teams. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260610-079B81 TLS cert SHA-256: 436114d5984960ad47d779710894358c392d92a58bd16f839f3e756e8b358c0c ## 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/apyx-finances.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=apyx-finances.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
