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: 2026-06-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 12:58:34 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-01 08:20:36 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/019f0de0-08a5-750d-a279-ea6764249626/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/autostylefirst.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.autostylefirst.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=autostylefirst.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/autostylefirst.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/autostylefirst.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 18:55:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, autostylefirst.com, is flagged as a high-risk generic phishing threat targeting individuals seeking used vehicles. Analysis indicates the site impersonates legitimate auto dealerships by presenting itself as "Auto Style First – Sélection d'occasions garanties vendues par des experts auto," a French-language platform claiming to offer certified pre-owned vehicles. The objective appears to be the collection of sensitive personal and financial information from victims under the guise of vehicle purchases, a common tactic in automotive-themed phishing campaigns. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple indicators of malicious intent. The domain was registered on June 21, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with suspicious domains. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and is currently active. Detection engines provide further evidence of its malicious nature: VirusTotal reports 3 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, while Gridinsoft assigns it a trust score of 0/100. Additionally, the domain appears on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which, while not inherently malicious, is often exploited by threat actors to lend an appearance of legitimacy. Users who have visited autostylefirst.com or interacted with its content should take immediate remedial actions. First, cease all engagement with the domain and avoid entering any personal or financial information. If credentials or payment details were submitted, affected individuals should monitor their accounts for unauthorized transactions and consider placing fraud alerts with relevant financial institutions. System scans using updated security tools are recommended to detect potential malware or browser-based threats. Given the domain's active status and high-risk classification, organizations should update their web filtering rules to block access to autostylefirst.com and its associated IP address, 188.114.97.3, to prevent further exposure. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: dd2f2c6867ba688bb6a22ce801a853aa411767373c546f3061237cc07aa507e7 ## 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/autostylefirst.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=autostylefirst.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.
