ABUSE NOTICE · 7D+ OPEN
Outgoing abuse reports are recorded; the latest stored availability evidence still shows the domain reachable.
Notification and current-status evidence
The sent-report ledger records the first outgoing report at .
The recorded recipient is abuse@nicenic.net.
The latest stored availability evidence still shows the domain reachable; 6 months has elapsed since the first outgoing report.
ICANN RAA §3.18 describes registrar abuse-contact and handling obligations.
This section records outgoing timestamps, listed recipients, case identifiers, and later availability. It does not by itself prove receipt, acknowledgement, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
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.
This domain, flake.exchange, poses a direct financial threat as a crypto drainer designed to impersonate legitimate cross-chain swap protocols. Analysis indicates the site mimics the branding and functionality of decentralized exchange interfaces, specifically targeting users of blockchain bridges and multi-chain wallets. The threat operates by tricking victims into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets to malicious smart contracts, which then execute unauthorized transactions to drain funds without user consent. The page title, 'Flake Protocol | Fast Cross-Chain Swap,' reinforces the deception by presenting a false veneer of legitimacy associated with high-speed asset transfers across blockchain networks. Infrastructure analysis reveals several critical indicators supporting the malicious classification. The domain was registered on April 06, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. Despite a clean detection profile on VirusTotal with 0 out of 95 engines flagging the domain, it appears on three independent security blocklists and is actively blocked by wallet protection tools. The site resolved to IP address 188.114.96.3 and used an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which, while providing transport layer encryption, does not validate the legitimacy of the underlying service. The domain has since been taken offline, though historical DNS records and cached content confirm its prior operational status. Users who visited flake.exchange or interacted with its interface should take immediate remediation steps to mitigate potential financial loss. Disconnect any wallets previously linked to the site using authorized revocation tools provided by wallet software. Review all recent transaction histories for unauthorized transfers, particularly those involving cross-chain or token swap operations. Rotate any credentials or private keys associated with compromised wallets, as attackers may retain access even after the domain is offline. Monitor connected accounts for anomalous activity and report the incident to relevant blockchain security platforms to contribute to threat intelligence sharing. Given the domain’s use of legitimate-looking infrastructure and clean initial scans, users are advised to verify all future interactions with cross-chain services through official documentation and community-verified channels.

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.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

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.
