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.

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: 2026-06-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 16:03:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-30 16:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:18:17 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e89-4acf-72ba-a8c0-3af2199f8fe0/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/help-tesla.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.help-tesla.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=help-tesla.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/help-tesla.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/help-tesla.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 16:04:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, help-tesla.com, is flagged as a high-risk phishing site designed to impersonate Royal Caribbean cruise services. Analysis indicates the domain hosts a page titled 'CruiseInsider — Your Independent Royal Caribbean Cruise Guide,' suggesting an attempt to deceive users into believing they are interacting with a legitimate cruise information portal. The intent appears to be credential harvesting, payment fraud, or distribution of malicious payloads under the guise of cruise-related services, exploiting the trust associated with the Royal Caribbean brand. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 15, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with suspicious domains. It currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.128.107 and employs an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend a false sense of legitimacy. Detection metrics show that 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged this domain as malicious, indicating early but growing awareness of its fraudulent nature. The domain remains active, with no evidence of takedown or mitigation at this time. Users who have visited help-tesla.com should immediately cease all interaction with the site. If credentials or payment details were entered, affected individuals should reset passwords for all associated accounts and monitor financial statements for unauthorized transactions. System scans using updated security tools are recommended to detect potential malware infections. Organizations should consider blocking the domain and its resolving IP at the network level to prevent further exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: cea6c4baa113a574de1dd4cd106c6ba0 TLS cert SHA-256: 1ee35b3a03f26e1f5ce466ae52a234a9d73af1f5019ffa8ac8899f7046447580 ## 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/help-tesla.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=help-tesla.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
