Hosting org: AS13335 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: ["DECKER.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM", "SLOAN.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM"] Registered: 2026-01-15 Page title: Minecraft Grandma Fund | AirDrop ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-04-15 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 8a59297d2dd26102ca2c1c73033895b2b97164af8e3a3c803709c45fe88cd765 ## 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: 2026-01-15 (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: 2026-01-19 00:43:35 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-31 01:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-02 12:00:38 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bd30f-ea0d-735d-848d-02196b1b532c/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/grandmacoin.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.grandmacoin.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=grandmacoin.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/grandmacoin.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/grandmacoin.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:04:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies grandmacoin.net as a high-risk phishing domain masquerading under the page title "Minecraft Grandma Fund | AirDrop." Classified as generic phishing, this site aimed to deceive users with a fake cryptocurrency or gaming-related theme, exploiting trust in popular Minecraft culture and financial giveaways. Technical indicators reveal that grandmacoin.net resolved to IP address 188.114.96.3 and was registered on January 15, 2026, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. It has appeared on four distinct security blocklists and was detected in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse. Additionally, 16 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors flagged this domain, reinforcing its malicious nature. Currently, grandmacoin.net is offline, indicating that it has been taken down or disabled following detection. PhishDestroy recommends remaining vigilant against similar phishing attempts and advises users to avoid interacting with any related domains or links that mimic trusted Minecraft or cryptocurrency fundraisers. Continuous monitoring of newly registered domains with similar patterns is essential to prevent further exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 08b3b1816bc4c6f4d18b07fb48a984bd TLS cert SHA-256: 8a59297d2dd26102ca2c1c73033895b2b97164af8e3a3c803709c45fe88cd765 ## 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/grandmacoin.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=grandmacoin.net 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.
