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: 2026-03-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-28 00:56:46 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-03-27 23:48:42 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-26 22:20:26 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-28 12:49:34 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d314b-562c-756b-9acb-cc223bd298a6/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e222a16d-d249-4ff7-8c77-e2a0b948fc98 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/etner-scan.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.etner-scan.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=etner-scan.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/etner-scan.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/etner-scan.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-28 00:58:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies etner-scan.xyz as an active fake system scanner phishing domain designed to deceive users into downloading malicious software under the guise of a security scan. The domain is currently flagged by 1 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating limited but present detection coverage. This threat poses an elevated risk to unsuspecting users who may interact with the spoofed scanning interface. This domain was flagged by 1 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. The domain was created on January 27, 2025, making it a recently deployed threat infrastructure. While VirusTotal detection remains low, the presence of a legitimate SSL certificate could enhance user trust and facilitate successful phishing delivery. Additionally, the domain’s short operational history suggests it may not yet be widely recognized by blocklists despite its active status. Given the active status of etner-scan.xyz and its use of a deceptive system scanner interface, users should treat this domain with extreme caution. It is strongly recommended that individuals and organizations block access to etner-scan.xyz at the network level and update firewall rules to prevent outbound connections. Security teams are advised to scan endpoints for signs of interaction with this domain, particularly any downloads or redirections initiated through fake scan prompts. Users encountering unsolicited system scan alerts should verify the legitimacy of the source through official software channels and avoid entering any credentials or downloading files from suspicious domains. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260327-755B42 Favicon MD5: bb646ad5720cc212729307d5a969a283 TLS cert SHA-256: 89887371aecd2302d3657178645a8e987c43f74b54782913f2629d9a7b2f10d0 ## 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/etner-scan.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=etner-scan.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.
