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.

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: 2026-05-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-22 12:50:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-22 12:49:04 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 08:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:30:06 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e4f13-e8ec-77e2-a289-2afa929c8202/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/closefri.top crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.closefri.top Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=closefri.top AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/closefri.top URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/closefri.top/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 04:57:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain closefri.top poses a significant threat by hosting a phishing page that impersonates Telegram's group chat feature. This site aims to deceive users into providing sensitive information by mimicking legitimate Telegram group invitations. Such phishing sites often exploit the trust users place in well-known platforms, leading to potential security breaches if personal data is submitted. Analysis indicates that closefri.top is a recently created domain, registered on May 07, 2026, and was detected by 15 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. This high detection rate underscores the domain's malicious intent. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and used technologies such as Bootstrap, Nginx, and HSTS to deliver its phishing content. The site's trust score on Gridinsoft is exceptionally low, rated at 0/100, and it is blocked by well-known security blocklists including PhishDestroy and OISD. If you visited closefri.top, it is crucial to take immediate steps to protect your information. Do not enter any credentials or personal information. Run a comprehensive security scan on your device to check for any malware or further threats. It is also advisable to change passwords for any accounts that might have been compromised. Staying informed about phishing tactics and regularly updating security software can help mitigate similar risks in the future. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 15/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 16a75c7824b5223b8e22864354e9e33f TLS cert SHA-256: 971a096905b921309fce9cffb9cadf1b7e7831aa9e2ad558871ad2acc03d1fb6 ## 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/closefri.top/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=closefri.top 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.
