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: kip.ns.cloudflare.com, meera.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-26 Expires: 2027-07-26 Page title: ZINC HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-10-24 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 7ea93e896124eff6f7342b452c8f380514fd0db83c6b12d5d011db7f13cb7a05 ## 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: 2026-07-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-27 19:04:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-31 16:20:24 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-28 12:55:04 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019fa487-873d-70d3-b3d2-a6a8fe20463f/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/claims-zinc.cash crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.claims-zinc.cash Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=claims-zinc.cash AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/claims-zinc.cash URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/claims-zinc.cash/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-27 19:09:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] claims-zinc.cash: Confirmed Crypto Drainer Phishing Site This domain, claims-zinc.cash, is confirmed as an active crypto drainer phishing site targeting cryptocurrency users. Registered on July 26, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, the domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which is associated with Cloudflare infrastructure, as indicated by its nameservers (kip.ns.cloudflare.com and meera.ns.cloudflare.com). The domain is currently flagged by one security blocklist and is blocked by PhishDestroy, signaling its malicious intent. Analysis of detection data reveals that one of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal has flagged this domain, though the specific detection context remains limited. The domain remains active as of July 27, 2026, with no indications of takedown or mitigation efforts. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk infrastructure. The use of Cloudflare nameservers is consistent with threat actors leveraging CDN services to obscure hosting origins and evade IP-based blocking. While the exact content of the site has not been analyzed, the classification as a crypto drainer suggests it is designed to trick users into connecting wallets or authorizing transactions that result in unauthorized fund transfers. The domain's recent registration and immediate malicious activity indicate a likely short-lived campaign, a common tactic to avoid detection and takedown. Organizations should prioritize blocking this domain at the DNS and proxy levels, and monitor for related indicators of compromise, such as wallet addresses or additional domains registered through the same registrar. Further investigation into the IP address 188.114.97.3 may reveal additional associated malicious domains or infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 11db69e74226c671d729f4c52f6d75ce TLS cert SHA-256: 7ea93e896124eff6f7342b452c8f380514fd0db83c6b12d5d011db7f13cb7a05 ## 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/claims-zinc.cash/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=claims-zinc.cash 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.
