NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response.

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: 2025-12-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-12-30 07:25:23 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-25 08:20:45 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 15:25:31 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019b6e25-4861-77ab-b86e-aba679da2d64/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/game-x.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.game-x.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=game-x.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/game-x.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/game-x.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-24 06:03:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This site, hosted at game-x.cc, presents itself as "Game-x: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain." It is classified as a Gambler Scam and a cryptocurrency scam type. The primary threat is that the site impersonates the legitimate brand MEXC to deceive users into depositing cryptocurrency under false pretenses, leading to financial loss. Technical evidence confirms the malicious nature of the site. VirusTotal reports 19 out of 95 security vendors flagging it as malicious. The domain was created on 2025-12-05, registered through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. It resolves to IP address 172.67.200.154 in the United States, hosted on AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.), and uses SSL certificates from Google Trust Services / WE1. The nameservers are eva.ns.cloudflare.com and hayes.ns.cloudflare.com. The site is flagged by ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, and CyRadar, and appears on one blocklist. The current status of the domain is BANNED. ScamAdviser gives it a trust rating of 1 out of 100, indicating a high risk. Users should avoid any interaction with this domain due to the strong evidence of impersonation and scam activity. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 095b185e288ed8e4d934ac78fe6a4e2e TLS cert SHA-256: c82cebd6035431bddb87861a4c452e09feea23f49f9e147c2a71317b1e7fc306 ## 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/game-x.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=game-x.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.
