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 13:05:45 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 11:15:34 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 07:45:44 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/019f0de7-4a46-709b-9cc3-8e90ddee1cfa/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8db94689-268b-44f3-ad58-b5ba2f008a09 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/authv2-dropbox-safelinks-protection-docx.pro crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.authv2-dropbox-safelinks-protection-docx.pro Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=authv2-dropbox-safelinks-protection-docx.pro AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/authv2-dropbox-safelinks-protection-docx.pro URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/authv2-dropbox-safelinks-protection-docx.pro/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 18:45:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain authv2-dropbox-safelinks-protection-docx.pro is identified as a brand impersonation threat currently active and targeting the brand Dropbox. This domain exhibits behavior indicative of high-risk malicious activity aimed at deceiving users into believing it is associated with Dropbox. Exactly 10 of 95 VirusTotal vendors have flagged this domain, confirming its malicious attributes. It was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and was created on June 22, 2026. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and is present on one distinct security blocklist. The trust score from Gridinsoft is notably low at 0 out of 100, which adds to the urgent concern surrounding this domain's legitimacy and intention. The status of the domain remains active, underscoring the necessity for immediate action. It is advisable to block access to this domain across all networks and to educate users about the potential risks of interacting with domains that impersonate trusted brands. Monitoring for any changes in domain registration details, associated IP addresses, and callback traffic is recommended to prevent potential compromises. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 10/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-F6C04D Favicon MD5: c424f5c2c57cf48e2100967851347a59 TLS cert SHA-256: 3e4fab065af58896c58da1d3c9c8e0f0381b5d3e320413e850e00cb181b9b657 ## 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/authv2-dropbox-safelinks-protection-docx.pro/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=authv2-dropbox-safelinks-protection-docx.pro 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.
