# PhishDestroy threat dossier — happycatslab.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-05 02:11:00 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/happycatslab.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 95/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, LevelBlue Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## 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: megan.ns.cloudflare.com, yahir.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-30 Expires: 2027-06-30 Page title: Happy Cats — Yoniverse Allocation Live on XRPL ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-28 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 252b19101c87403b0990ab0292a76305ef91d0388f1b649bf2a9608e04885f1e ## 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: 2026-06-30 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-03 17:05:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-05 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-04 00:02:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f2882-ab5e-7758-bb50-0a0a6f040a1c/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/happycatslab.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.happycatslab.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=happycatslab.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/happycatslab.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/happycatslab.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-03 17:35:44 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 as a high-risk crypto drainer phishing site, designed to exploit users participating in cryptocurrency token allocations. Analysis indicates the domain specifically impersonates XRPL (XRP Ledger) events, using the page title "Happy Cats — Yoniverse Allocation Live on XRPL" to lure victims into interacting with malicious smart contracts or wallet-draining scripts. The threat type aligns with known tactics used to siphon digital assets from unsuspecting users under the guise of legitimate token distributions or airdrops. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and was registered on June 30, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. VirusTotal detection reports 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, a low but notable signal given the domain's recent creation date. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which does not mitigate the inherent risk of the domain's content. No blocklist entries or trust scores from additional threat intelligence platforms were provided, but the combination of a future creation date (likely a data entry error or typo, intended as 2024) and the specific targeting of XRPL users suggests a deliberate and narrowly focused campaign. Mitigation steps for this threat type include immediate blocking of the domain and its resolving IP (188.114.97.3) at the network perimeter. Endpoint protection systems should be updated to detect and prevent access to the domain, particularly on devices used for cryptocurrency transactions. Users should be educated to verify token allocation events directly through official project channels, such as the XRPL Foundation or trusted project websites, rather than clicking links from unsolicited messages or social media posts. Wallet software should enforce strict transaction confirmation prompts, especially for interactions with newly created or unverified smart contracts. Additionally, monitoring for unusual outbound traffic to the domain's IP or related infrastructure can help identify compromised systems within an organization.

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 (operator 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/happycatslab.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=happycatslab.com 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
