Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
The domain kyq.finance was registered on December 5, 2025 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and currently resolves to the Cloudflare IP address 188.114.96.3 (AS13335, United States). DNS resolution is served by the Cloudflare nameservers cass.ns.cloudflare.com and anirban.ns.cloudflare.com, and the site is reachable over HTTP/3 with a TLS certificate issued by Google Trust Services (WE1). An HTTP 301 redirect is observed, and the sole page title returned is "Success!"; no further content analysis is available. The domain is listed on one public security blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service.
It appears in a single AlienVault OTX pulse, indicating that at least one threat‑intel feed has correlated it with malicious activity. VirusTotal scanning shows that eight of ninety‑five security vendors flagged the domain, reinforcing the suspicion of abuse. Independent reputation scoring from Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100, reflecting an extremely low confidence in the site’s legitimacy. The domain remains active as of the report date, July 24, 2026.
While the exact phishing payload or targeted brand is not disclosed in the available intelligence, the combination of a low trust score, multiple vendor detections, blocklist presence, and a generic success page title suggests a high‑risk phishing operation. Defenders should proactively block kyq.finance at network perimeter devices, update DNS filtering policies, and monitor for outbound connections to the associated Cloudflare IP. Continuous re‑evaluation of threat intel feeds for additional context is advised, as further analysis may reveal the specific credential‑harvesting tactics employed.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
