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: adel.ns.cloudflare.com, plato.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-04-04 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-01 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: cb0cec5d66132b150ab6b5487fffdd326f3dbcc9128bbad0badfc125ff3ff1bd ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-05 00:20:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-04 21:40:51 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:07:14 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-07 08:43:23 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners 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/019d5a5d-383e-7711-a352-d8d5843466d9/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/621756f5-80a5-4c54-b192-c9fc1bf2def5 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/heregamb.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.heregamb.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=heregamb.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/heregamb.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/heregamb.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-05 00:20:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies heregamb.cc as an active malicious domain operating under a generic phishing campaign, with no current detections despite its threatening behavior. This domain resolves to IP 188.114.96.3 and leverages a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, targeting unsuspecting users through impersonation tactics. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on April 02, 2026, suggesting a recent, hastily deployed threat infrastructure designed to evade early detection mechanisms. This domain exhibits multiple red flags indicative of a coordinated scam operation. VirusTotal analysis shows zero detections out of 95 security engines, highlighting the evasiveness of this infrastructure at the time of analysis. The registrar, NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, has been historically associated with high volumes of malicious registrations, while the domain's creation date points to a recently established threat actor maintaining operational security through short-lived domains. Additionally, the SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt further legitimizes the appearance of this site, potentially luring victims into entering sensitive information or financial details under false pretenses. Users who have encountered or visited heregamb.cc should immediately cease any interaction and avoid submitting personal or financial data. Organizations and individuals are advised to block this domain at the network level using the IP address 188.114.96.3 and report the domain to their security teams or relevant threat intelligence platforms. If any credentials or sensitive information were entered, users must reset passwords immediately, enable multi-factor authentication, and monitor accounts for unusual activity. This advisory will be updated as new intelligence emerges regarding the evolving tactics of this threat actor. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260404-FAB1B5 Favicon MD5: 095b185e288ed8e4d934ac78fe6a4e2e TLS cert SHA-256: cb0cec5d66132b150ab6b5487fffdd326f3dbcc9128bbad0badfc125ff3ff1bd ## 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/heregamb.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=heregamb.cc 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.
