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: carlos.ns.cloudflare.com, mina.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-27 Expires: 2027-05-27 ## 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: 2026-05-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-01 02:32:29 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-01 02:25:30 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 04:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 09:46:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e805e-fe8f-733e-b5d8-30dd463c8df4/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/6acb6d1e-fc2c-4d0f-80d2-6f4f098e7e73 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/heyshellmates.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.heyshellmates.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=heyshellmates.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/heyshellmates.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/heyshellmates.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 03:07:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, heyshellmates.xyz, is identified as a credential harvesting phishing site designed to deceive users into submitting sensitive login credentials. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is engineered to mimic legitimate authentication portals, likely targeting corporate or personal accounts through socially engineered lures. The domain employs obfuscation techniques to evade initial detection, though its fraudulent intent is evident from behavioral and structural indicators observed in its deployment. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on May 27, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.189.206, which has been linked to other transient phishing campaigns. Detection metrics confirm its malicious classification, with 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagging the domain as phishing-related. Additionally, the domain appears on one security blocklist, further corroborating its elevated risk profile. Users who have interacted with heyshellmates.xyz should immediately revoke any credentials entered on the site, as they are likely compromised. It is recommended to conduct a full scan of the device used to access the domain to detect potential secondary infections or data exfiltration artifacts. Monitor financial and communication accounts for unauthorized activity, and enable multi-factor authentication where available to mitigate further risk. If corporate credentials were exposed, notify the relevant security team to initiate incident response protocols. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260601-332042 Favicon MD5: 4a86f6a14db77620902f034a6cad90c7 ## 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/heyshellmates.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=heyshellmates.xyz 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.
