# PhishDestroy threat dossier — chicksell.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-06 09:56:27 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/chicksell.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 162.35.172.19 (US, New York City) ASN: AS19318 Interserver, Inc Hosting org: AS19318 Interserver, 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: ns3.my-ndns.com, ns4.my-ndns.com Registered: 2026-06-26 Expires: 2027-06-26 Page title: chicksell.com ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE2 Expires: 2026-09-27 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 17d2cb85423ef37f00973be6627d99a0bffb4f07ac42583557fe5fd0e323e9d0 ## 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: 2026-06-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 05:45:38 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-06 08:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1bc7-3ebe-734c-b06b-b38719ed0f7b/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/chicksell.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.chicksell.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=chicksell.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/chicksell.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/chicksell.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 06:00:30 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 confirmed fraudulent trading platform specializing in Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) skin sales. Analysis indicates the site operates under the pretense of legitimate virtual item trading but is designed to deceive users into surrendering account credentials or making fraudulent payments. The specific threat type involves credential harvesting and financial fraud, targeting gamers through social engineering tactics that exploit trust in virtual economies. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain chicksell.com was registered on June 26, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It currently resolves to the IP address 162.35.172.19, which has no prior history of legitimate gaming-related services. VirusTotal reports 0/95 detections, suggesting the domain has not yet been widely flagged by security vendors, while blocklist monitoring services show no current listings. The page title, "CHICKSELL — Продать скины CS2 | Sell CS2 skins," explicitly targets Russian and English-speaking users, broadening its potential victim base. No trust scores or reputation metrics are available from established threat intelligence platforms, further indicating its recent emergence as a fraudulent operation. Mitigation steps for this threat type include immediate domain blocking at the network level, particularly for endpoints within gaming or e-commerce environments. Security teams should add 162.35.172.19 to internal IP blocklists and monitor for outbound connections to this address. End-users should be educated on recognizing fraudulent trading platforms, particularly those using urgent language or unrealistic pricing to lure victims. Organizations handling payment data or gaming accounts should implement multi-factor authentication and transaction verification protocols to prevent unauthorized access. Given the domain’s undetected status on VirusTotal, proactive monitoring of newly registered domains with similar naming patterns (e.g., gaming-related terms + "sell") is recommended to identify emerging threats. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 5cbe577c589f9e80741aa853dc881508 TLS cert SHA-256: 17d2cb85423ef37f00973be6627d99a0bffb4f07ac42583557fe5fd0e323e9d0 ## 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/chicksell.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=chicksell.com 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.
