Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
Backpacj.exchange was registered on February 21, 2026 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. The domain resolves to Cloudflare's edge IP 188.114.96.3 (AS13335, United States). DNS is served by alexa.ns.cloudflare.com and nolan.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating use of Cloudflare's DNS service. The site returns an HTTP 301 redirect and presents a page titled "Home - Backpack: Crypto Exchange & Wallet | Solana, Ethereum & BTC", suggesting a fabricated cryptocurrency exchange front‑end built with React, HSTS, Cloudflare Browser Insights and HTTP/3 support. The TLS certificate is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 identifier, a legitimate certificate authority, which does not mitigate the malicious intent.
Two of ninety‑three VirusTotal scanners have flagged the domain, and it is currently listed on three public blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. The Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100 further reflects a high risk assessment. The domain is explicitly noted to impersonate the Aave brand and is classified as a “Fake Exchange” scam, indicating that threat actors may lure victims into depositing funds or providing credentials under the pretense of a legitimate DeFi platform. Evidence confirms active hosting and no indication of takedown; the domain remains reachable. However, the absence of publicly available payload samples, login form screenshots, or malware delivery mechanisms leaves the exact attack flow uncertain.
Defenders should block DNS resolution for backpacj.exchange at the network perimeter, add the domain to URL filtering lists, and monitor for any outbound connections to the IP 188.114.96.3. Email security gateways should flag messages containing this domain or any URLs that resolve to it. Given the Cloudflare front‑end, threat‑intelligence platforms should be updated to include the domain’s name servers and certificate details to improve detection heuristics.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
