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: 2026-05-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-01 02:23:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-01 02:06:28 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-05 02:16:34 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/019e8056-9e05-768e-ad6b-d7f0bdeb9ec6/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8df27a87-b616-4c89-b6d9-d9a7fbb06269 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/checknowdemos.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.checknowdemos.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=checknowdemos.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/checknowdemos.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/checknowdemos.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:44:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain checknowdemos.live has been identified as a generic phishing threat, with no specific brand impersonation or drainer kit detected. The page title found was "CheckNow," suggesting a possible attempt to mimic a login or verification portal. This domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to IP address 104.21.16.105. It was created on May 25, 2026, and currently holds an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt (E7). VirusTotal analysis shows that 2 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious, and it appears on 1 security blocklist. The domain is not listed on Google Safe Browsing. As of the latest assessment, checknowdemos.live is offline, indicating that it has been taken down either by the hosting provider or through security interventions. However, the risk remains elevated because similar domains may still be active or could reappear under different names. Users who may have interacted with this domain should monitor their accounts for unauthorized activity and change any credentials that might have been compromised. PhishDestroy recommends that users avoid clicking on links from unsolicited messages and always verify the legitimacy of websites before entering sensitive information. If you encounter this domain or similar ones, report them to security teams or relevant authorities to help prevent further phishing attacks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260601-D34F8B Favicon MD5: 6102196ab1e7ffbba4c6b33ad84f43d7 TLS cert SHA-256: 29ed9ea3d99008de5f34fe46477cdb1f19278c91d1df5ab73229b58c7b49bff6 ## 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/checknowdemos.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=checknowdemos.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.
