# PhishDestroy threat dossier — gro90p.icu ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-24 01:12:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/gro90p.icu/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 76/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Airdrop ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Kaspersky, Sophos URLQuery: 1 detections ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. 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: ["collins.ns.cloudflare.com", "ridge.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-03-28 Page title: GRO90P Official Pre-Sale — Get Up to 100% Bonus! ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-06-26 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 733f54358f75d5c4609848c67d7ae31049d0d10ed9f7341598565edfb94bd9c4 ## 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: 2026-03-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-29 01:08:26 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-03-28 22:09:23 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:08:24 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-08 15:04:46 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) 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/019d367c-f9e1-73e4-9e87-73e7a53437a1/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/6d5f09d2-3aac-4f7e-9011-42ca9973bfd9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/gro90p.icu crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.gro90p.icu Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=gro90p.icu AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/gro90p.icu URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/gro90p.icu/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-29 01:08:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies gro90p.icu as an active crypto drainer scam site under investigation, with risk potential still being evaluated. This domain is designed to deceive users into connecting crypto wallets under false pretenses, specifically targeting cryptocurrency holders by mimicking trusted platforms or services. The threat actor behind this operation is actively leveraging social engineering tactics to trick victims into approving malicious transactions that drain digital assets from connected wallets. Technical analysis reveals several critical indicators associated with gro90p.icu. The domain was registered on March 28, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3. A Google Trust Services SSL certificate has been issued, which is often used to lend an air of legitimacy to fraudulent sites. Notably, VirusTotal currently reports 0 detections out of 95 security engines, suggesting this domain has not yet been widely recognized by antivirus or threat intelligence platforms as malicious. This low detection rate highlights the importance of proactive user verification using dedicated tools. At this time, no confirmed inclusion in major blocklists has been observed, though the domain remains active and operational. To mitigate exposure to gro90p.icu, PhishDestroy recommends immediate avoidance of any interactions with the domain, especially transactions involving cryptocurrency wallets. Users should verify URLs using trusted security platforms such as PhishDestroy, and cross-reference domain registration details before engaging with any online service. Additionally, consider revoking any wallet approvals previously granted to unknown or suspicious domains. For organizations, implementing DNS filtering rules to block gro90p.icu and monitoring network traffic for connections to the associated IP address is advised. Continuous monitoring for new domains with similar naming patterns or registration characteristics is also recommended to stay ahead of evolving crypto drainer campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260328-7B998C Favicon MD5: a314da9f659a273c951c5a8b0ab4a46a TLS cert SHA-256: 733f54358f75d5c4609848c67d7ae31049d0d10ed9f7341598565edfb94bd9c4 ## 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/gro90p.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gro90p.icu 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.
