Hosting org: AS13335 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: ["will.ns.cloudflare.com", "jo.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: No KYC Dash Exchange – Anonymous DASH Swaps ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-05-01 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 57519aeea99182e228b99e948e4b7b4fcb61b663ab78e6e1ab55030c8e76c58d ## 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: 2026-02-21 (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: 2026-01-26 01:30:25 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-13 07:51:18 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-16 00:04:58 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/019bf745-bb84-76b5-b549-f742d6cc450c/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/dash-nokyc.exchange crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.dash-nokyc.exchange Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=dash-nokyc.exchange AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/dash-nokyc.exchange URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/dash-nokyc.exchange/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 02:24:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies dash-nokyc.exchange as a generic phishing domain posing as an anonymous DASH cryptocurrency exchange platform. The site aimed to lure users by promoting no-KYC (Know Your Customer) DASH swaps, potentially to harvest sensitive user credentials or funds. Users should be cautious of any unsolicited requests or offers promising anonymity in cryptocurrency transactions. The domain resolves to IP address 172.67.192.121 and was registered through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. Despite a very low trust score of 0/100 from Gridinsoft, the domain appeared on one security blocklist and was flagged by 7 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors. Created recently on February 21, 2026, the domain's infrastructure and registration details suggest it was set up specifically for fraudulent activities targeting cryptocurrency users. Currently, dash-nokyc.exchange is offline and no longer accessible, reducing immediate risk. However, users are advised to remain vigilant and avoid interacting with suspicious domains that claim to offer anonymous or no-KYC crypto exchange services. Always verify domain legitimacy through reliable security sources like PhishDestroy before entering any personal or financial information. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 7/93 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 573dbbe6b723e2cbd60dea5a295f2d9591e37e999abc747d2a67531ef7fab85e TLS cert SHA-256: 57519aeea99182e228b99e948e4b7b4fcb61b663ab78e6e1ab55030c8e76c58d ## 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/dash-nokyc.exchange/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dash-nokyc.exchange 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.
