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: ["daniella.ns.cloudflare.com", "luke.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-03 Expires: 2027-06-02 ## 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: 2026-06-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-09 05:23:25 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-09 12:14:42 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 14:04:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, edgex-proposals.xyz, is identified as a crypto drainer, a specific type of generic phishing threat that targets cryptocurrency users. The domain is designed to trick users into revealing their private keys or sending funds to fraudulent addresses, often by mimicking legitimate cryptocurrency services or websites. Analysis indicates that edgex-proposals.xyz has been flagged by 14 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, a significant detection rate that suggests the domain is associated with malicious activities. The domain was registered on June 03, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar that has been linked to various suspicious domains. Additionally, the domain appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, further confirming its high-risk status. These indicators collectively point to a well-coordinated phishing operation aimed at compromising cryptocurrency assets. If users have visited edgex-proposals.xyz, they are advised to take immediate action to secure their cryptocurrency accounts. This includes changing passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and checking for any unauthorized transactions. Users should also monitor their account balances and report any suspicious activity to their cryptocurrency service provider. Furthermore, it is recommended to install and regularly update reputable security software to protect against similar threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 0f98b704c93538fcb68377c679051b5a ## 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/edgex-proposals.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=edgex-proposals.xyz 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.
