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.

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: 2026-05-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-07 02:42:21 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-06 23:45:41 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-31 07:29:07 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-12 03:33:00 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dffa9-d445-76ef-a9be-005b3a32b7c8/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/984c5e26-584e-44ff-a583-c1b058236092 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ekidenfi.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ekidenfi.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ekidenfi.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ekidenfi.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ekidenfi.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-07 02:44:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy is investigating ekidenfi.com, a domain currently masquerading as a cryptocurrency exchange and posing as a generic phishing threat. The domain is active at the time of analysis and remains under active review by the PhishDestroy analyst team. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and resolves to IP 172.67.172.67. ekidenfi.com was created on May 05, 2026, and currently shows no presence on major DNS or IP blocklists. The SSL certificate protecting the site was issued by Let’s Encrypt, a common practice among both legitimate and malicious sites. The current status of this investigation is under_investigation, indicating that further analysis is required to determine the ultimate intent of the threat actors. Users are advised to avoid interacting with ekidenfi.com, refrain from entering personal or financial information, and report any suspicious activity to their respective security teams or PhishDestroy’s public reporting portal. Organizations are encouraged to block the domain and IP at the network perimeter and update endpoint detection rules to monitor for signs of compromise. Regular threat intelligence updates will be provided as this investigation progresses. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260506-B102EA Favicon MD5: df03e56c693ec05f604a254155293634 TLS cert SHA-256: 69c84e58ef643e31d44c2999d7e84ea8bfd9ccf0fd6e86313ce571c744d052d3 ## 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/ekidenfi.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ekidenfi.com 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.
