Security engines reporting a detection: 4. Public blocklists reporting a match: 2. Exercise extreme caution — do not enter credentials or personal information.
Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
distribution-crates-embercurve.xyz was observed on 2026-10-07 and appeared on the MetaMask external blocklist, providing a specific record of its status. The domain also received a PageSpeed performance score of 90 on the same date, indicating a responsive site during that check.
Recorded Evidence
VirusTotal checked distribution-crates-embercurve.xyz on 2026-10-02, reporting 4 detections out of 92 scanners. On 2026-10-07, the domain was listed on both MetaMask and SEAL external blocklists. OTX pulses were recorded three times as of 2026-10-07. The domain was registered with NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on 2026-09-30 and was listed internally by Phishdestroy.
Interpretation
The evidence covers several distinct sources that document the domain's status and detection history. Blocklist entries from MetaMask and SEAL, along with VirusTotal detections, provide external perspectives. OTX pulses and the internal Phishdestroy listing add further context from monitoring and intelligence sources. The recorded dates allow comparison of when each observation was made.
Recommended Actions
For distribution-crates-embercurve.xyz, review the MetaMask and SEAL blocklist entries alongside the VirusTotal detection report for practical comparison. Retain OTX pulse records and the Phishdestroy internal listing to support ongoing monitoring. These records should be preserved for any future review or assessment based on the domain's documented activity and detection history.

For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
