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: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-17 18:34:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 18:38:17 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 01:17:07 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 00:14:29 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed66d-6478-7492-97aa-f96ebfcc813c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/3f02dbf8-08c0-48be-b82b-58d60ada2541 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/dexmaxai.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.dexmaxai.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=dexmaxai.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/dexmaxai.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/dexmaxai.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 16:24:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk phishing site impersonating an AI-assisted trading platform. Analysis indicates the threat type is brand impersonation, specifically targeting users through a fraudulent interface labeled 'DexmaX AI | Official Platform for AI Assisted Trading.' The domain is designed to deceive victims into believing they are interacting with a legitimate cryptocurrency or financial service, likely to facilitate credential harvesting or unauthorized fund transfers. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 12, 2024, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.52.89, hosted on AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.) in the United States. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), a common tactic to lend false legitimacy. Detection metrics show 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain, and it appears on one security blocklist. The domain remains active and unmitigated at the time of assessment. To mitigate risks associated with this brand impersonation threat, users should avoid interacting with the domain or entering any credentials. Network-level blocking of the IP address 104.21.52.89 and domain resolution prevention via DNS filters are recommended. Organizations should update endpoint protection rules to include this domain and its associated indicators. Users who may have engaged with the site should immediately revoke any exposed credentials, enable multi-factor authentication on financial accounts, and monitor for unauthorized transactions. Verification of AI trading platforms should be conducted exclusively through official, verified channels. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-8CA227 Favicon MD5: b34506cdd39059243bbbcf00bb24b737 TLS cert SHA-256: 874a191b778bd1747223e8bb7de8fde54897c90349ad61f670d9a8b8bfd7a0c8 ## 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/dexmaxai.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dexmaxai.live 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.
