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: anirban.ns.cloudflare.com, chelsea.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Nur einen Moment… HTTP response: 429 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: REPORTS FILED. Domain eventually taken down after 1 abuse notice(s). Reports filed: 1 independent abuse notifications First report: 2026-01-26 13:44:33 UTC Days since first notice: 87 (eventually taken down) Methodology: follow-up reports are sent ONLY when a victim re-submitted a re-report via our public form, our monitoring detected the domain resurfacing in SEO/feeds, OR our live-checker confirmed the domain is still technically active and fraudulent. Each report contains: VT verdict, URLScan snapshot, WHOIS, SSL metadata, IP/hosting chain, impersonated-brand evidence, drainer/kit classification, screenshots, and a cryptographic hash of the forensic PDF. ICANN RAA Sec. 3.18 applies. Per-report timeline: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/coinbasein2026.network/#coordinated-suppression ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-24 13:46:48 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 04:33:06 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 04:33:06 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bf03d-2867-717e-926b-eac0252b6154/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f2f8554f-9e0d-4583-85fd-e88d62b2a020 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/coinbasein2026.network crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.coinbasein2026.network Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=coinbasein2026.network AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/coinbasein2026.network URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/coinbasein2026.network/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 03:35:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies coinbasein2026.network as a high-risk crypto drainer targeting unsuspecting users through social engineering tactics. The domain’s page title 'Nur einen Moment…' aims to lure victims under the guise of legitimacy. This domain was created on February 21, 2026, and is currently offline. It resolves to IP 188.114.96.3 and appears on three separate security blocklists. Google Safe Browsing flags it for social engineering, and 18 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors mark it as malicious. The registrar information is unavailable, indicating potential anonymity. Users should avoid visiting coinbasein2026.network or providing any personal or financial information. Always verify URLs before interacting, and rely on official sources for cryptocurrency transactions to prevent falling victim to such scams. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-1769262383-coinbasein2026. Favicon SHA-256: 6e21162bc64073fe9e3d3d6375ca24d04fed1912a5b7716aac0cb0f2d16fae7c ## 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/coinbasein2026.network/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coinbasein2026.network 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.
