Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. 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: kipp.ns.cloudflare.com, phoenix.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-04-04 Expires: 2027-03-31 HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-06-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 114fede9808414dea64403ea9bb994343cd87ee10e12295f9e97bb3bb1d2b4ba ## 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: 2026-04-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-04 18:44:59 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-04 16:35:38 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-24 07:40:11 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-11 11:53:13 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d592a-d47b-7794-ad45-ddfb0ebab227/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e1cc9c76-9618-46c4-b8f0-1e30cb41bff0 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/chainex.global crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.chainex.global Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=chainex.global AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/chainex.global URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/chainex.global/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-04 18:45:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies chainex.global as an active crypto drainer campaign under investigation. The domain poses as a cryptocurrency exchange platform, specifically targeting users through deceptive withdrawal or transaction pages designed to siphon funds. As of the latest intelligence, the threat remains active with no confirmed takedowns or remediation efforts reported. chainex.global was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on March 31, 2026. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and utilizes a legitimate SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 vendors, indicating it is not yet flagged by mainstream security tools. The domain has no recorded presence on major blocklists, and its trust scores remain unverified due to its recent creation. These technical indicators suggest an emerging threat with low immediate detection but high potential for exploitation given its impersonation of a cryptocurrency service. This domain is currently active and represents a significant risk to cryptocurrency users. PhishDestroy recommends immediate avoidance and verification of chainex.global through its threat intelligence platform. Users who have engaged with this domain should revoke any connected wallet permissions and monitor transactions for unauthorized activity. Security teams are advised to block the domain at the network level and report indicators to relevant threat intelligence feeds. Further monitoring is required to assess the full scope of this campaign and identify additional infrastructure associated with the threat actor. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260404-7EB4D0 Favicon MD5: 9d79dc0062b9cde76f293e6791ad0aa4 TLS cert SHA-256: 114fede9808414dea64403ea9bb994343cd87ee10e12295f9e97bb3bb1d2b4ba ## 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/chainex.global/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=chainex.global 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.
