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: ["tricia.ns.cloudflare.com", "garret.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2027-01-24 Page title: GhostWareOS ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-04-24 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 30db1fc6086e1844451c97cca47849ec97c578895a56b2e10cfc78e92dc10e5f ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (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) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-13 02:30:42 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:22:17 UTC (STALE — 38 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-03-16 03:13:43 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 38 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 38 days stale) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c542f-4595-76cc-ab7b-7027a625c1d7/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ghostwareos.info crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ghostwareos.info Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ghostwareos.info AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ghostwareos.info URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ghostwareos.info/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:35:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy classifies ghostwareos.info as a medium-risk domain involved in generic phishing activities. This domain was designed to deceive users by mimicking legitimate services, potentially aiming to steal sensitive information. Supporting evidence includes its presence on three security blocklists and a low trust score of 0/100 from Gridinsoft. VirusTotal flagged this domain by three out of ninety-five security vendors. The domain resolved to IP address 172.67.211.118 and was registered via NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited on February 21, 2026, indicating relatively recent creation. Currently, ghostwareos.info is offline, reducing immediate risk. Users are strongly advised to avoid visiting this domain or providing any personal information. Maintaining updated security software and relying on trusted sources will help mitigate potential threats from domains of this nature. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 580663d81d49ff0667b1b971dc3b2b39 TLS cert SHA-256: 30db1fc6086e1844451c97cca47849ec97c578895a56b2e10cfc78e92dc10e5f ## 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/ghostwareos.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ghostwareos.info 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.
