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: dave.ns.cloudflare.com, wren.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-02-23 Page title: Steam Support ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-23 (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) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-23 00:21:00 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-27 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-01 03:18:47 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/019c87db-4283-70ce-867e-50cac37e8f03/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/3866aa97-a75b-439a-919d-e8239389dd5e Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/help.useraccountverify.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.help.useraccountverify.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=help.useraccountverify.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/help.useraccountverify.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/help.useraccountverify.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-23 13:26:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain help.useraccountverify.com is a fraudulent site that impersonates the Steam brand, as indicated by its page title "Steam Support." This is a gaming scam designed to trick users into believing they are accessing legitimate Steam account verification or support services. The primary threat involves credential theft, where victims may unknowingly submit their Steam login details, leading to account compromise and potential loss of digital assets. Technical analysis reveals the site was flagged by 22 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, with detections from ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, and CyRadar. It is listed on 1 blocklist. The domain was registered on 2026-02-23 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. It resolves to IP address 45.148.244.204, hosted in the Netherlands under AS200019 ALEXHOST SRL. The site uses Cloudflare nameservers (dave.ns.cloudflare.com and wren.ns.cloudflare.com) and has no SSL certificate. The site is currently down or offline, reducing immediate risk. However, due to its recent creation, high detection rate, and lack of encryption, the risk level for users who may have encountered it while active is high. Users should avoid any interaction with this domain and ensure their Steam accounts are secured with strong passwords and two-factor authentication. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260223-EA2FD9 Favicon SHA-256: b0f8550cb06d9c582271d4b980c9d67d936d95218dfb98ab04031fbcc184e1e2 ## 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.useraccountverify.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=help.useraccountverify.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.
