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: ["alla.ns.cloudflare.com", "michael.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-05-15 Page title: Buy & Sell Bitcoin, Ethereum | Cryptocurrency Exchange | GALdexy ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-05 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 5915b21b719b2f876033e597dedfd0ef34750cc5f02fcf73a0d7c9766b04ddf9 ## 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: 2026-05-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-15 05:30:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 06:38:22 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-25 08:20:45 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-15 18:15:11 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:58:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified galdexy.com as a brand impersonation threat specifically targeting Ethereum, operating as a crypto drainer designed to steal cryptocurrency from unsuspecting users. The domain is currently offline, but its recent activity and technical indicators suggest it was part of a coordinated phishing campaign. The site posed as a legitimate cryptocurrency exchange, using the title "Buy & Sell Bitcoin, Ethereum | Cryptocurrency Exchange | GALdexy" to lure victims into connecting their wallets or entering sensitive information. Technical analysis reveals that galdexy.com is flagged by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate detection but still a significant threat. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on May 15, 2026, and resolves to IP address 172.67.130.50, which is associated with Cloudflare. It uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (E8) to appear legitimate. The domain appears on 1 security blocklist and is referenced in 1 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse, suggesting it has been actively monitored by the security community. Despite the low blocklist count, the specific targeting of Ethereum and the use of a crypto drainer mechanism elevate the risk level. Given that galdexy.com has been taken offline, the immediate threat is neutralized, but users should remain vigilant against similar domains. PhishDestroy recommends that anyone who interacted with this site—especially those who connected their crypto wallets or entered credentials—immediately transfer remaining assets to a secure wallet and change passwords. Monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions and consider using hardware wallets for enhanced security. Report any suspicious activity to relevant authorities and blockchain security platforms. Always verify the legitimacy of cryptocurrency exchanges by checking official sources and community reviews before engaging. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: bde9a66802576eb37aa7471bdc8d24b1 TLS cert SHA-256: 5915b21b719b2f876033e597dedfd0ef34750cc5f02fcf73a0d7c9766b04ddf9 ## 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/galdexy.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=galdexy.com 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.
