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: 2025-12-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-12-18 00:32:55 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-16 16:32:11 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-27 04:30:06 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019b2c0b-cd92-708d-87e6-15d1382ab76c/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/astesrdex.claims crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.astesrdex.claims Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=astesrdex.claims AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/astesrdex.claims URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/astesrdex.claims/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 02:03:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified astesrdex.claims as a malicious domain involved in crypto draining attacks, posing a significant threat to users' digital wallets and cryptocurrency holdings. Crypto drainers are designed to stealthily siphon funds from victims, making this domain especially dangerous for anyone engaging in crypto transactions. Despite being taken offline, the risk associated with this domain remains relevant due to its recent activity and sophisticated tactics. The domain astesrdex.claims was registered on December 15, 2025, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. It has been flagged on three separate security blocklists and is associated with the IP address 104.21.11.213. VirusTotal analysis reveals that 10 out of 95 security vendors detect it as malicious, highlighting its potential to deliver harmful payloads or conduct phishing operations. Currently, the domain is offline, returning connection timeout errors, but prior to this, it was actively targeting victims. Users should remain cautious and avoid interacting with astesrdex.claims or any similar suspicious domains. It is critical to verify URLs before entering sensitive information or conducting crypto-related activities. Employing updated security software, enabling multi-factor authentication on crypto accounts, and monitoring wallets for unauthorized activity can further reduce risk. PhishDestroy recommends reporting any suspicious encounters with this domain to security teams to help curb its impact. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 2e8deb28946a6b41ccb927eaa43bbaa78ea82cef39a40638f2e5afa8e90e73ca TLS cert SHA-256: 9c6a43890bfb5601d88d201bc59b06c8e1d32174d1e8a987dc7a5f1c61fb6dbf ## 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/astesrdex.claims/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=astesrdex.claims 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.
