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. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: magali.ns.cloudflare.com, odin.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-13 Page title: First Ledger — Trade, launch, and earn on the XRP Ledger ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-11 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: e6b2b66a04b362c7c92717e41e9b82064db9c1c14b3bcd6fa032b335702952f1 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-05-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-14 18:04:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-15 01:40:04 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-14 21:33:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e2703-b03c-72ab-b54c-e5677897f530/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/firstledger.trade crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.firstledger.trade Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=firstledger.trade AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/firstledger.trade URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/firstledger.trade/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-14 18:05:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies firstledger.trade as an elevated-risk crypto drainer posing as a legitimate Ledger wallet service. This domain actively harvests private keys and seed phrases to steal cryptocurrency from victims' wallets. The site uses deceptive visuals and fake transaction screens to trick users into approving unauthorized transfers, making it a high-threat phishing clone. This domain was flagged by MetaMask and detected by 2 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors. firstledger.trade resolves to IP address 172.67.202.174 and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The domain was created on May 13, 2026 and appears on 1 security blocklist while using a legitimate Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. The low detection rate (2/95) indicates this is a newly deployed or rapidly evolving threat with evasion techniques. To mitigate risks from crypto drainer sites like firstledger.trade, never enter seed phrases or private keys into any website. Always verify URLs through PhishDestroy before clicking links or entering sensitive information. Use hardware wallets or official Ledger apps for all transactions, and enable transaction confirmation alerts on your wallet app. If you suspect interaction with this domain, immediately revoke any connected wallet permissions and transfer funds to a new wallet using official Ledger software. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c7e9714dd34a9d9087dea59e83a4a5dc TLS cert SHA-256: e6b2b66a04b362c7c92717e41e9b82064db9c1c14b3bcd6fa032b335702952f1 ## 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/firstledger.trade/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=firstledger.trade 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.
