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: ["bethany.ns.cloudflare.com", "stanley.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-05-18 Page title: D'CENT x NEXST AI | NXT Reward Boosters & Quest Event ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-13 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 498e78b30c6e58c7b3f3b45a15cef97d4363b18f4ec89555357474990f37a993 ## 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: 2026-05-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-18 23:14:01 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-18 23:13:27 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 04:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:30:36 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e3cb8-097b-716a-9b37-3a0b8229113e/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/dcent-desktop.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.dcent-desktop.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=dcent-desktop.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/dcent-desktop.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/dcent-desktop.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-18 23:14:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies dcent-desktop.com as an ACTIVE brand impersonation scam targeting cryptocurrency users under the guise of DCENT Wallet’s desktop software. The threat level is currently marked as under_investigation due to limited detection coverage, but behavioral indicators suggest credential theft or wallet access theft operations. Users interacting with this domain risk losing control of their digital assets without immediate recovery options. This domain was flagged with the following technical indicators: registered on May 15, 2026, resolving to IP 172.67.209.216 via NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and secured with a Google Trust Services SSL certificate. VirusTotal analysis (1/95 detections) indicates it remains undetected by most antivirus engines. Despite this, the presence of a valid SSL certificate and domain age under one month suggest a rapidly deployed campaign designed to appear legitimate to unsuspecting crypto users. Mitigation steps include avoiding downloads or logins from dcent-desktop.com entirely. Verify any DCENT Wallet-related software through official channels at dcentwallet.com. If you entered credentials or connected a wallet, revoke permissions immediately via DCENT’s official dashboard or your wallet provider’s security settings. Report the domain to your antivirus vendor, browser safe-browsing lists, and relevant cryptocurrency fraud reporting platforms. Enable 2FA and transaction confirmation alerts on all crypto accounts as a precaution. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c0461c0dd0f171ec419c980b2c7caf99 TLS cert SHA-256: 498e78b30c6e58c7b3f3b45a15cef97d4363b18f4ec89555357474990f37a993 ## 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 (operator 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/dcent-desktop.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dcent-desktop.com 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
