Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      16/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot
AlienVault OTX:  3 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## 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:

Nameservers:     ["ishaan.ns.cloudflare.com", "mina.ns.cloudflare.com"]
Page title:      Welcome to nginx!
HTTP response:   200

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Let's Encrypt / YE2
Expires:    2026-08-28
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: 4ba6796738bab6cc2167337f656cfed78d26fce0f661c280086efedf5a05d526

## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------
First detected:    2026-07-19 12:38:02 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-22 08:20:23 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-20 00:23:49 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

dealwa.cc Safety Check — Nginx Phishing Server Detected

Analysis indicates that the domain dealwa.cc was actively flagged as part of a phishing infrastructure on July 19, 2026. The domain resolved to the IP address 188.114.96.3, hosted under CloudFlare, Inc. in Canada, and was served by Cloudflare nameservers ishaan.ns.cloudflare.com and mina.ns.cloudflare.com. The page title, 'Welcome to nginx!', suggests the use of a default or misconfigured nginx server, a common indicator of rapidly deployed phishing or malicious hosting environments.  The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (identifier YE2). It appeared on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, and was included in three threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX. At the time of assessment, 16 out of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal had flagged the domain as malicious. The domain returned an HTTP 200 status, indicating an active but likely automated or placeholder response, before being taken offline.  No specific brand impersonation or phishing kit was identified in the available data. The exact content of the phishing page remains unconfirmed, as the site was offline during analysis. Defenders are advised to treat this domain as part of a broader phishing campaign infrastructure, particularly given its use of Cloudflare hosting and default server responses. Monitoring for re-emergence under similar hosting patterns or certificate issuance is recommended.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      4ba6796738bab6cc2167337f656cfed78d26fce0f661c280086efedf5a05d526

## 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.
