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: 2026-05-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-01 02:13:43 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-01 00:19:52 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 04:46:11 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-19 18:21:06 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e804e-4327-7651-a448-d46afa351710/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/de9205fa-7501-405c-aa37-9c1a8d3648e7 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bitwexv3gpt.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bitwexv3gpt.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bitwexv3gpt.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bitwexv3gpt.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bitwexv3gpt.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 03:13:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain bitwexv3gpt.live is identified as a cryptocurrency credential theft operation impersonating the Bitwex trading platform. Analysis indicates the site presents itself as an official platform for AI-assisted trading, specifically using the branding 'Bitwex +v3 GPT,' to deceive users into disclosing sensitive login credentials or wallet information. As of the latest assessment, the domain has been taken offline, though its infrastructure remains a documented threat. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on May 27, 2026, an anomalous future date suggesting potential obfuscation or misconfiguration. It resolved to the IP address 172.67.177.172, a Cloudflare-associated endpoint, and employed technologies including Unpkg, jsDelivr, jQuery, and Cloudflare Browser Insights. The site’s SSL certificate was issued by Let’s Encrypt, a common feature in both legitimate and malicious domains. Detection metrics show the domain was flagged by 6 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, while independent blocklists such as PhishDestroy and OISD have also listed it. The Gridinsoft trust score for this domain is 0 out of 100, further confirming its malicious classification. Given the domain’s current offline status, immediate interaction risks are mitigated; however, the infrastructure and registration details remain indicative of a broader phishing campaign. Users and organizations are advised to block the domain and associated IP address 172.67.177.172 at the network level. Security teams should monitor for re-registration under similar naming conventions or slight variations. Individuals who may have interacted with the site should revoke any active sessions, rotate credentials, and audit connected cryptocurrency wallets for unauthorized transactions. Proactive detection rules should be updated to include this domain and its technical indicators in threat intelligence feeds. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260601-262AE7 Favicon MD5: 51ef3b344a3491ba956860bebe8eaef0 TLS cert SHA-256: 03c7acc95043ce20a2df0213fbea156b2ce09749e400f22340aa18e48f5210d4 ## 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/bitwexv3gpt.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitwexv3gpt.live 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.
