# PhishDestroy threat dossier — dmca-claim.info ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 21:56:46 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/dmca-claim.info/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (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: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: kiki.ns.cloudflare.com, kyrie.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-22 Expires: 2027-06-22 Page title: YouTube — Copyright Claim Review ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-21 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: dc7e8877ef82ece04ee4eb6c1119e3830b3beb6b5e82e1f02255311d7557bc4f ## 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: 2026-06-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 14:33:37 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 13:27:41 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 23:47:09 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:03:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e37-d99e-768e-af08-e12e414900e7/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/fc8b933d-cd50-45ae-8d45-2b6d62feb041 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/dmca-claim.info crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.dmca-claim.info Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=dmca-claim.info AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/dmca-claim.info URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/dmca-claim.info/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 14:36:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, dmca-claim.info, is identified as an active crypto drainer scam specifically designed to impersonate YouTube’s copyright claim review process. Crypto drainers are malicious scripts or applications that siphon cryptocurrency from victims’ wallets by tricking them into signing unauthorized transactions, often through social engineering tactics. The domain currently presents itself as a legitimate YouTube service, leveraging the brand’s authority to deceive users into interacting with fraudulent content. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-risk indicators. The domain is flagged by 2 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, a relatively low but notable detection rate that suggests emerging or evasive malicious activity. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which may be part of a content delivery network or proxy service to obscure its true origin. Registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on June 22, 2026, the domain’s creation date is suspiciously set in the future, a tactic often used to bypass automated detection systems that rely on domain age as a trust factor. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which, while legitimate, is frequently exploited by threat actors to lend false credibility to malicious sites. No blocklist entries or additional trust scores were provided, but the combination of impersonation, future-dated registration, and low detection rates indicates a calculated effort to evade security measures. As of the latest assessment, dmca-claim.info remains active and poses a high risk to users, particularly those engaging with cryptocurrency or responding to copyright claims. Immediate action is recommended: avoid interacting with the domain, block it at the network or endpoint level, and report it to relevant security teams or abuse contacts. Users who may have connected wallets or entered sensitive information should assume compromise, revoke all active sessions, and transfer assets to a new, secure wallet. Organizations should update their threat intelligence feeds to include this domain and its associated indicators, such as the IP address and SSL certificate details, to prevent further exposure.

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/dmca-claim.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dmca-claim.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.
