# PhishDestroy threat dossier — crashnfts.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 12:38:34 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/crashnfts.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: NFT Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. 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. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["earl.ns.cloudflare.com", "laura.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-28 Page title: $CRASH Claims ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-07-26 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: fbb2fc07c6dd9287a0a5b45baf472c15b170ba118e372ae407225a56a23661ba ## 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: 2026-04-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-28 16:50:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-28 13:50:05 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-01 12:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-14 03:31:47 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/019dd458-1fda-772a-87f6-caa66f41cac2/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8ce40ac0-786a-4879-89cb-74f459c96e23 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/crashnfts.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.crashnfts.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=crashnfts.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/crashnfts.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/crashnfts.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 07:24:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, crashnfts.xyz, operates as a crypto drainer designed to siphon digital assets from unsuspecting users. Analysis indicates the site presents itself as a legitimate $CRASH token claims portal, luring victims into connecting their wallets to malicious smart contracts. Once connected, the drainer executes unauthorized transactions, transferring cryptocurrency or NFTs to attacker-controlled addresses without user consent. The threat specifically targets users of decentralized finance platforms, exploiting their trust in token airdrops or claim events to facilitate theft. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-confidence indicators of malicious activity. The domain is flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with additional detections across four independent blocklists. It was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on April 28, 2026, an unusually future-dated registration that aligns with patterns observed in ephemeral phishing domains. The site resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and employs Cloudflare services, which are frequently leveraged to obscure hosting origins and evade takedown efforts. A Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100 further corroborates the domain's malicious classification. Users who visited crashnfts.xyz or interacted with its content should immediately revoke any connected wallet permissions via their wallet provider's interface. It is critical to audit transaction histories for unauthorized transfers and monitor linked accounts for suspicious activity. If assets were transferred, victims should report the incident to their wallet provider and relevant blockchain explorers to flag the attacker's addresses. Given the domain's current offline status, users should remain vigilant for similar threats, particularly those impersonating token claims or airdrops, and verify all interactions with official project channels before connecting wallets. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260428-119044 TLS cert SHA-256: fbb2fc07c6dd9287a0a5b45baf472c15b170ba118e372ae407225a56a23661ba ## 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/crashnfts.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=crashnfts.xyz 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.
