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: indie.ns.cloudflare.com, rodrigo.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-21 Expires: 2027-06-21 Page title: HLTV.org - Official Website :: News and reports about Counter-Strike 2 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-19 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 6e3138cb0c8c0cab254618876395f192fd7b9870807552c2c9926ccda8811a1b ## 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: 2026-06-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 14:50:55 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-01 00:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:03:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e47-1681-71ee-9353-3f5c03907be2/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/hll-tv.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.hll-tv.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=hll-tv.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/hll-tv.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/hll-tv.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 14:56:12 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 brand impersonation phishing site targeting Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) enthusiasts. The threat specifically mimics HLTV.org, a legitimate esports news platform, to deceive users into interacting with fraudulent content or disclosing credentials. Analysis indicates the domain is designed to exploit trust in the HLTV brand, potentially leading to credential theft or malware distribution under the guise of CS2 news and reports. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain hll-tv.com was registered on June 21, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.92.11 and is secured with an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. VirusTotal reports 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, suggesting limited but confirmed detection. The domain remains active with no widespread blocklisting, and its page title explicitly mirrors HLTV.org's official branding, reinforcing the impersonation tactic. Mitigation steps for this threat type include immediate blocking of the domain and its resolving IP (104.21.92.11) at the network perimeter. Security teams should prioritize monitoring for user interactions with the domain, particularly in environments where CS2-related content is accessed. Endpoint protection rules should be updated to detect and prevent connections to hll-tv.com, and users should be educated to verify domain authenticity before engaging with esports news sites. Given the domain's recent creation and low detection rate, proactive hunting for related infrastructure (e.g., subdomains, similar registrar patterns) is recommended to preempt further abuse. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b962ad307adc1f1c65cfbbd6f06f7617 TLS cert SHA-256: 6e3138cb0c8c0cab254618876395f192fd7b9870807552c2c9926ccda8811a1b ## 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/hll-tv.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hll-tv.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.
