Network Security Intelligence Registrar context
Registrar contextNiceNIC
Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
The domain connect-app.center was registered on February 22, 2026 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and is currently taken offline. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 198.177.125.196, which belongs to AS22612 (Namecheap, Inc.) in the United States. The authoritative name servers are ns3.my-ndns.com and ns4.my-ndns.com. The site presented the page title "Just Pomodoro" and employed an Apache HTTP Server fronted by Cloudflare, with client‑side libraries including jQuery, Font Awesome, and cdnjs.
TLS is provided by a Let’s Encrypt certificate (R13). VirusTotal analysis shows that three of ninety‑five security vendors flagged the domain, indicating a modest detection consensus. The domain appears on a single external blocklist and is specifically listed by PhishDestroy as a malicious entry. No additional intelligence, such as Safe Browsing or OTX references, is available, and the exact phishing lure or targeted brand has not been disclosed in the collected data.
Defenders should block the domain at perimeter firewalls and proxy devices, add the IP address 198.177.125.196 to deny‑list entries, and ensure that any internal clients that may have cached the site are cleared. Continuous monitoring of the associated IP range and name servers is advised, as the infrastructure could be repurposed for future campaigns. Incident response teams should also verify that no credential harvesting or malware downloads occurred on internal hosts that accessed the domain before it was taken offline.

After a phishing incident
Recommendations & Advice for Victims
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including connect-app.center)
Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
