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: kipp.ns.cloudflare.com, nola.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-17 Expires: 2027-07-17 Page title: Just a moment... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-10-15 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 6290e618e60ebaae73fba316cfba12b78b9c865df99d0ee3b82d0e1e09741391 ## 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: 2026-07-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-20 17:48:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-20 15:57:51 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-27 04:21:01 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-21 04:19:26 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f8035-916d-7169-976b-09df3648faac/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/ad6e5157-3565-418d-8492-bc4e9c33986b Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/flareevent-xrp.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.flareevent-xrp.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=flareevent-xrp.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/flareevent-xrp.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/flareevent-xrp.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-20 17:49:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] flareevent-xrp.live Fake XRP Giveaway Phishing Alert Analysis of the domain flareevent-xrp.live indicates active phishing infrastructure targeting XRP cryptocurrency users. The domain was registered on July 17, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP address 104.21.96.26, hosted behind Cloudflare nameservers kipp.ns.cloudflare.com and nola.ns.cloudflare.com, a common tactic to obscure hosting origins and evade takedowns. At the time of assessment, the domain appears on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, though it remains unflagged by the 95 vendors that scanned it on VirusTotal. The absence of detections does not confirm legitimacy, particularly given the recent registration and use of Cloudflare proxy services. The domain's name, flareevent-xrp.live, suggests an impersonation of XRP-related events or promotions, a known vector for cryptocurrency scams. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk pending further content analysis. Network-level blocking is recommended, particularly for organizations handling cryptocurrency transactions or user data. Monitoring for related domains registered through the same registrar or using similar naming patterns (e.g., 'flareevent', 'xrp', 'live') may help identify additional phishing infrastructure. No evidence currently links this domain to a specific phishing kit or campaign, and the exact page content remains unanalyzed. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260720-A72DCA Favicon MD5: dc270172d1648eb90a7ac9e496aaa7ec TLS cert SHA-256: 6290e618e60ebaae73fba316cfba12b78b9c865df99d0ee3b82d0e1e09741391 ## 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 (operator 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/flareevent-xrp.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=flareevent-xrp.live 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
