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. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: aisha.ns.cloudflare.com, pablo.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-29 Expires: 2027-05-29 Page title: Just a moment... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE2 Expires: 2026-08-27 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 8bccba596d1aea21129541657698143a379d16e85b682a7ce06103e146aaf3f6 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-05-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-01 01:53:04 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-31 23:05:57 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-06 01:45:51 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:29:06 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e803b-cb03-716d-8467-dfddae50f1a9/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/94e23eeb-69a9-45b7-8936-81fe3e287d5a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/banterraonline.icu crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.banterraonline.icu Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=banterraonline.icu AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/banterraonline.icu URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/banterraonline.icu/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:44:40 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 banterraonline.icu as a confirmed credential theft phishing site, currently active under investigation. This domain mimics a legitimate banking portal to steal login credentials, though the specific brand impersonated has not been publicly identified. The site displays the generic title "Just a moment..." and is hosted behind Cloudflare infrastructure, a common tactic used by phishers to obscure the true origin. Technical indicators reveal that the domain was created on May 29, 2026, through the registrar NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and resolves to IP address 104.21.30.65. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (YE2), providing a false sense of security. Despite appearing on only 1 security blocklist, VirusTotal currently shows 0 out of 95 vendors detecting the site, meaning it has not yet been flagged by most security solutions. This low detection rate underscores the importance of proactive vigilance. As the domain remains active, users are strongly advised to avoid visiting banterraonline.icu or entering any personal information. If you have already submitted credentials, change passwords immediately and enable multi-factor authentication. Report the site to your email provider and relevant authorities. PhishDestroy recommends blocking this domain at the network level and educating users about phishing red flags such as urgent language, mismatched URLs, and unsolicited login prompts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260531-A895C7 TLS cert SHA-256: 8bccba596d1aea21129541657698143a379d16e85b682a7ce06103e146aaf3f6 ## 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 (operator 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/banterraonline.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=banterraonline.icu 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
