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.
The domain ellipal.download is a generic phishing site targeting cryptocurrency users. It presents itself as the 'ELLIPAL Desktop Wallet' with claims of secure, air-gapped cold storage, but no legitimate association with the ELLIPAL brand exists. This site is classified as a cryptocurrency scam and poses an elevated risk by attempting to deceive users into entering sensitive wallet information or downloading malicious software. As of the latest verification, ellipal.download has been taken offline.
Technical analysis shows ellipal.download was flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, including Fortinet and SOCRadar. The domain was registered through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited on February 24, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 216.198.79.1, hosted on Amazon.com, Inc. infrastructure in the US. It appears on 1 security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, and has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100. No SSL certificate was detected, and the nameservers are damien.ns.cloudflare.com and zara.ns.cloudflare.com. Technologies identified on the site include Vercel, LiveChat, and HSTS enforcement.
Users who interacted with ellipal.download should immediately revoke any token approvals granted to unknown contracts and transfer funds to a new, secure wallet. Monitor transaction history for unauthorized activity and enable two-factor authentication on all cryptocurrency-related accounts.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
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.

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.
