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: 2025-10-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-12-14 01:42:50 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-26 00:49:07 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-19 18:06:13 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019b1a85-ce8d-7198-8c4a-10f4ce824f28/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/egedex.exchange crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.egedex.exchange Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=egedex.exchange AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/egedex.exchange URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/egedex.exchange/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:15:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified egedex.exchange as a domain involved in generic phishing activities. The domain was initially registered on October 5, 2025, and was classified with a low-risk phishing threat based on its behavior and associated indicators. The page title observed was "This Page is for Sale," which suggests the domain was no longer actively hosting phishing content at the time of analysis. Technical investigation reveals that egedex.exchange resolved to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and was registered through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. Despite its low-risk classification, the domain appeared on two security blocklists, and VirusTotal flagged it with 2 detections out of 95 security vendors. These indicators highlight the domain’s prior association with malicious activities, although the limited number of detections suggests it was not widely recognized as a significant threat. Currently, egedex.exchange is offline and no longer resolving to any active content, effectively mitigating ongoing risk from this source. PhishDestroy recommends continued monitoring of related infrastructure and similar new registrations through the same registrar to preempt potential phishing campaigns. Users and security teams should remain vigilant as threat actors often cycle through domains like egedex.exchange during their operations. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: c6670425515377d60b8aece9b9135b29a0bc0f67c11f7b06959d4985dfd24687 TLS cert SHA-256: 1c6bb231c4abd87d83eddbaec9d3fd583a53384f671546f57063384e6ae47a18 ## 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/egedex.exchange/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=egedex.exchange 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.
