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.

No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-03-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-27 00:57:36 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-03-26 21:58:55 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 01:50:34 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable 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/019d2c25-46cd-7738-b842-b13fd282e24f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/aae0114a-16cd-4fc5-99bc-83083dcf7b7f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/kpa29.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.kpa29.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=kpa29.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/kpa29.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/kpa29.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-27 00:58:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies kpa29.cc as an active crypto drainer domain engaged in generic phishing operations targeting cryptocurrency users. The domain presents no affiliation with established brands, operating as a standalone fraudulent entity designed to intercept private wallet credentials and initiate unauthorized asset transfers. Security researchers have not uncovered evidence of a specific drainer kit (e.g., Inferno, Angel Drainer, or Phorpiex derivatives), suggesting this campaign may utilize custom or lightly modified JavaScript payloads to harvest sensitive data during wallet connection or transaction signing processes. The absence of a recognized brand attachment increases the likelihood that this domain is deployed in isolated, short-lived phishing lures distributed via social engineering or compromised communications. This domain was flagged by 1 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors and resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3. kpa29.cc was registered on January 23, 2025, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar known to host high volumes of short-lived domains with minimal identity verification. Despite hosting on a server associated with cloud infrastructure commonly used by malicious actors, the domain has obtained an SSL certificate from Google Trust Services, which may be abused to lend false legitimacy to phishing pages. The domain remains unblocked on major threat intelligence platforms including Google Safe Browsing (GSB), indicating a currently elevated but not yet widespread threat profile. Active monitoring is required due to the domain's recent registration and lack of historical detections. As of the latest assessment, kpa29.cc maintains an active status with no public takedown or blocklist inclusion. While the domain's low initial detection rate suggests opportunistic deployment, its recent creation and registrar profile increase the risk of rapid escalation. Users are advised not to interact with this domain, avoid clicking links in unsolicited messages referencing it, and verify URLs through trusted threat intelligence sources. Organizations should monitor for outbound connections to 188.114.96.3 and consider blocking the domain at the network perimeter. Remaining risk is elevated due to active operation, SSL certificate presence, and lack of proactive blocking, necessitating heightened vigilance among cryptocurrency users and security teams. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260326-2ABB14 Favicon MD5: 7a8920b132f3579d7b00abf8a49c6df5 TLS cert SHA-256: cbf2c9170c86c97456daa6d65d8fb8d7d513c2c1eebfdb1e99b7f129d52ea12e ## 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/kpa29.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kpa29.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.
