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: lakas.ns.cloudflare.com, raquel.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-26 Expires: 2027-05-26 Page title: Just a moment... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-05-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-01 02:32:30 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-01 02:10:26 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 10:16:53 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-19 18:21:41 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e805e-5f88-71e1-ae3a-49cec15fc137/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/cc042043-62a3-4d20-bf6e-35abcdffa837 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/dashboard-pharos.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.dashboard-pharos.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=dashboard-pharos.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/dashboard-pharos.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/dashboard-pharos.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 03:07:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain dashboard-pharos.xyz was identified as a potential risk for credential theft. While no specific brand impersonation or drainer kit was detected, the domain's presence on multiple security blocklists and low trust score indicate a high risk of being involved in malicious activities. The domain does not appear to be associated with a recognized brand, and no specific phishing kit was identified, but the threat type is consistent with credential theft attempts. Infrastructure analysis reveals that dashboard-pharos.xyz has a VirusTotal detection score of 0/95, suggesting a lack of immediate recognition by automated systems, but it is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar that has been linked to other suspicious domains. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and was created on May 26, 2026. It appears on 3 security blocklists and has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, further indicating its potential malicious nature. The site uses technologies such as HSTS, Cloudflare, and HTTP/3, which can mask the true origin and nature of the domain. Currently, the domain is taken offline, reducing the immediate risk to users. However, the presence of the domain on multiple blocklists and the low trust score suggest that it may have been previously active in credential theft campaigns. Users should remain vigilant and avoid interacting with the domain if it becomes active again. Security teams should monitor the domain and associated IP address for any future activity and consider adding it to their internal blocklists to prevent potential threats. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260601-82BE83 Favicon MD5: f026d413d5674d191fa81e85d5487d2e ## 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/dashboard-pharos.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dashboard-pharos.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.
