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 02:07:32 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-01 00:22:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-05 17:46:17 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-10 00:33:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e8047-fd25-72ff-a6a0-16950c915223/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/58c18cb4-a0ad-4a3a-8e63-ae83bdfb4940 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/btc-phrontiav142.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.btc-phrontiav142.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=btc-phrontiav142.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/btc-phrontiav142.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/btc-phrontiav142.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 18:36:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk cryptocurrency phishing site targeting users through fraudulent AI-assisted trading platform impersonation. Analysis indicates the domain is actively masquerading as an official trading interface, likely designed to harvest credentials or misappropriate funds from unsuspecting victims seeking automated cryptocurrency investment tools. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain btc-phrontiav142.live was registered on May 27, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, hosted on AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.), which is commonly used to obfuscate malicious infrastructure. Detection metrics show only 1 out of 95 security vendors currently flag the domain, suggesting either recent deployment or evasion techniques. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is blocked by at least one threat intelligence feed. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (serial number E8), providing encrypted connections that may lend false legitimacy to the phishing page. Mitigation against this threat involves immediate domain verification and user education. Users should cross-reference the domain with official sources, particularly for platforms claiming AI-assisted trading capabilities. Organizations are advised to implement DNS filtering to block access to newly registered domains with cryptocurrency-related keywords, especially those using Cloudflare-hosted infrastructure. Financial institutions and cryptocurrency services should monitor for credential harvesting attempts originating from this domain and issue alerts to customers regarding fraudulent platform impersonation. Network defenders may deploy signatures to detect traffic patterns associated with this IP and domain combination. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260601-B4D0F5 Favicon MD5: 51ef3b344a3491ba956860bebe8eaef0 TLS cert SHA-256: 1949e31e117a893f5383420dbc4e2324a96a01804629ff4ffbc27e8b6af3b146 ## 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/btc-phrontiav142.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=btc-phrontiav142.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
