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.

No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-05 00:21:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-04 21:40:36 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 04:08:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 04:08:37 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d5a5d-f22d-723d-ab37-d6edd8ef4556/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/400ea77a-b720-4e27-9188-c40149848bae Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ewgamb.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ewgamb.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ewgamb.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ewgamb.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ewgamb.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-05 00:22:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies the active credential harvesting domain ewgamb.cc as part of a current threat campaign. This domain is categorized under generic_phishing and remains under investigation as of seed 72f341. The domain poses a high risk due to its active status and lack of detection by security vendors, despite its recent creation and operational infrastructure. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating no current detections against its malicious activities. ewgamb.cc was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and resolves to IP address 104.21.80.124. The domain was created on March 20, 2026, and is currently hosted on an infrastructure associated with high-risk activities. The absence of detections on VirusTotal suggests a gap in threat intelligence coverage or a stealthy deployment strategy by the threat actors. The registrar and hosting provider should be scrutinized for compliance with abuse policies, given the domain's recent and suspicious activity. The current status of ewgamb.cc remains active, with no blocklist entries or detections reported as of seed 72f341. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with this domain or any associated links, as it is likely used for credential harvesting or distributing malware. Organizations should implement network-level blocking for the IP address 104.21.80.124 and the domain ewgamb.cc to prevent potential infections. Additionally, security teams should monitor for any emerging reports of this domain on threat intelligence platforms and update detection rules accordingly. Immediate action is recommended to mitigate the risk of credential theft or further compromise. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 7/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260404-2987A3 Favicon MD5: 095b185e288ed8e4d934ac78fe6a4e2e TLS cert SHA-256: f2a1e0f01cf831ed2ba3fa3112084979eedb6e3d80ff956c53dd94e8aad7b0d8 ## 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/ewgamb.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ewgamb.cc 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.
