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: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-17 19:05:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 18:26:37 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 18:16:47 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-17 19:15:29 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed689-cb47-723b-9b05-54f236c9ba59/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/a910f665-d7a6-4f20-9f12-b93c51d4668f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/btc-othian.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.btc-othian.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=btc-othian.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/btc-othian.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/btc-othian.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:02:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, btc-othian.live, operates as a crypto drainer phishing site designed to deceive users into connecting cryptocurrency wallets to a fraudulent trading platform. The site presents itself as an official AI-assisted trading service, utilizing social engineering tactics to prompt victims to authorize transactions that directly siphon funds from their wallets. Analysis of the page content and infrastructure confirms the presence of wallet-draining scripts, a common characteristic of crypto-focused phishing campaigns targeting users of decentralized finance (DeFi) and trading platforms. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 12, 2024, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. The site resolves to the IP address 172.67.223.19 and is secured with an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, a tactic often employed to lend false legitimacy. Detection metrics indicate elevated risk, with 8 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagging the domain as malicious. Additionally, the domain appears on one security blocklist and was proactively taken offline following reports, though residual risk remains for users who may have interacted with it prior to its removal. Users who visited btc-othian.live or connected a cryptocurrency wallet to the site should immediately revoke any active wallet authorizations associated with the domain. This can be done through wallet management interfaces or blockchain explorers that support token approval revocation. Affected individuals should also monitor their wallet transaction history for unauthorized transfers and consider transferring remaining assets to a new, secure wallet. Given the persistent nature of crypto drainer attacks, users are advised to verify the authenticity of any trading or DeFi platform before interacting with it, particularly those promoted via unsolicited communications or social media. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-A90517 Favicon MD5: b34506cdd39059243bbbcf00bb24b737 TLS cert SHA-256: fbc45daf15889ce4487f563491d7d783ca6aff33650f07b8bebb231cfcfda9d1 ## 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/btc-othian.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=btc-othian.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.
