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: 2026-05-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-01 02:17:45 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-01 00:39:15 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 04:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-11 18:27:43 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e8052-642e-723c-90e3-7c48b0d92061/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/4f6f87d2-8156-483b-a0fd-5608d992e80b Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/kgstinvest.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.kgstinvest.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=kgstinvest.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/kgstinvest.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/kgstinvest.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:44:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain kgstinvest.live has been identified as a brand impersonation site targeting users of AI-assisted trading platforms. Posing as the official KGST invest portal, the site lured victims with promises of AI-driven trading profits. Analysis confirms this is not a legitimate investment service but a phishing operation designed to steal credentials and funds. Technical examination reveals that kgstinvest.live resolves to IP address 104.21.86.227 and was registered on May 27, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. VirusTotal shows 0 detections out of 95 scanners, though the domain appears on one security blocklist. The site uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (E8) to appear trustworthy. Notably, the domain is currently offline, limiting further direct risk. The immediate danger is mitigated by the site being taken down, but the domain remains under investigation. Users who may have interacted with kgstinvest.live should change any passwords used on the site and monitor financial accounts for unauthorized activity. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding any unsolicited investment offers and verifying platforms through official channels before sharing personal or financial information. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260601-85C8CA Favicon MD5: 51ef3b344a3491ba956860bebe8eaef0 TLS cert SHA-256: 139ef1bc272ba54d1cdecd08089466ed93d5297b6b4eca23aba5a6a26c39079a ## 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/kgstinvest.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kgstinvest.live 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.
