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.

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: 2026-06-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 15:51:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 14:26:01 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 09:46:58 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:18:17 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e7e-2f28-72c5-a178-0693666f874c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/7aa5cc3c-4537-4dfa-84ae-9c3cb24da09b Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/desk-firelight.info crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.desk-firelight.info Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=desk-firelight.info AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/desk-firelight.info URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/desk-firelight.info/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 18:00:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, desk-firelight.info, is flagged as a high-risk credential harvesting phishing site designed to mimic legitimate financial or corporate login portals. Analysis indicates no direct association with known brand impersonation or drainer kits at this time, though the infrastructure aligns with generic phishing campaigns targeting user credentials, session tokens, or multi-factor authentication bypasses. The domain exhibits characteristics typical of short-lived, disposable phishing pages, including rapid deployment and obfuscated hosting. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following exact technical indicators: VirusTotal detection score of 3/95 security vendors, indicating limited but present malicious classification. The domain was registered on June 19, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently observed in abusive registrations. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.35.248, a Cloudflare proxy endpoint commonly used to mask origin servers. The domain appears on 3 security blocklists and is referenced in 1 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse, confirming cross-industry detection. Google Safe Browsing status remains unconfirmed but is likely flagged given the blocklist presence. Current status shows the domain remains active and operational, with no evidence of takedown or sinkholing. Response actions should include immediate blacklisting at the DNS and network perimeter levels, as well as endpoint protection updates to block resolution of the domain and its associated IP. Despite the low VirusTotal score, the combination of blocklist inclusion, registrar reputation, and proxy hosting elevates the risk profile. Organizations are advised to monitor for credential reuse attempts from harvested data and implement phishing-resistant authentication methods to mitigate residual risk from this campaign. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-C6ED4A Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 6a04d1729258ee514bdd9b7ef6d1af991ab6cdabf3b45fb7732038f1f9fd2266 ## 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/desk-firelight.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=desk-firelight.info 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.
