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: addilyn.ns.cloudflare.com, louis.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-24 Expires: 2027-06-24 Page title: Grandvegas: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 04ae04cccbe3f1dfbee79d061c25fca64f5ce9bca0bf132fab2574ab7085db37 ## 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: 2026-06-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 14:50:59 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-29 08:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:03:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e47-1773-73dc-9705-b7f0523873a7/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/grandvegas.digital crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.grandvegas.digital Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=grandvegas.digital AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/grandvegas.digital URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/grandvegas.digital/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 14:56:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged for high-risk brand impersonation, specifically targeting users of a cryptocurrency-based gambling platform. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate crypto casino services, potentially deceiving users into engaging with fraudulent financial transactions or disclosing sensitive account details under false pretenses. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain grandvegas.digital was registered on June 24, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and presents a page title of 'Grandvegas: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain.' The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, adding a veneer of legitimacy. Detection remains minimal, with only 1 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagging the domain as malicious. No widespread blocklist inclusion or trust score degradation has been observed as of this report. Mitigation steps specific to brand impersonation threats include immediate domain takedown requests to the registrar and hosting provider, citing the fraudulent use of copyrighted branding. Network-level blocking of the IP 188.114.97.3 should be implemented to prevent access from corporate or protected environments. Users should be educated on verifying domain registration dates and SSL certificate issuers, as impersonation domains often use recently created certificates or mismatched issuers. Financial transaction monitoring should be heightened for any activity linked to this domain, given the high-risk nature of crypto gambling impersonation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c3d9e7ac8ad834ae3d129c8c7a595a4f TLS cert SHA-256: 04ae04cccbe3f1dfbee79d061c25fca64f5ce9bca0bf132fab2574ab7085db37 ## 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/grandvegas.digital/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=grandvegas.digital 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.
