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: hal.ns.cloudflare.com, jocelyn.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-07 Expires: 2027-05-07 Page title: LagosPulse FX | Official Platform for AI Assisted Trading ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-05 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 29d3e0ec068cf3187bfdcb479244c995b406d7419108e5098c869839a54b7553 ## 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: 2026-05-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-15 03:58:15 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-15 01:33:40 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-26 05:31:31 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:30:54 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e2921-e49b-708b-a2b8-1ae0ad24bafe/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/b229f55a-7deb-4958-954a-f46266e9661d Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/lagospulsefx.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.lagospulsefx.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=lagospulsefx.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/lagospulsefx.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/lagospulsefx.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 05:30:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, lagospulsefx.live, is confirmed to operate as a cryptocurrency credential theft site targeting users through the impersonation of an AI-assisted trading platform. The site presents itself under the brand 'LagosPulse FX,' claiming to offer official AI-driven trading services, a common tactic to lure victims into entering sensitive account credentials or wallet recovery phrases. No direct evidence of a cryptocurrency drainer kit was observed in the detected technologies; however, the use of content delivery networks (CDNs) and third-party JavaScript libraries (Unpkg, jsDelivr) suggests potential for dynamic payload delivery post-compromise. The infrastructure aligns with known phishing patterns where static front-end assets are hosted via CDNs to evade detection while backend systems harvest stolen data. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on May 7, 2024, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.167.30, which is part of a well-known anycast network used for both legitimate and malicious purposes. The domain holds a VirusTotal detection score of 3 out of 95 security vendors, indicating limited but confirmed malicious classification. It appears on one security blocklist and has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100, reinforcing its high-risk status. The site employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, a common practice among threat actors to mimic legitimacy, and utilizes Cloudflare services, including HTTP/3 and Browser Insights, to enhance performance and evade basic detection mechanisms. As of the latest assessment, lagospulsefx.live has been taken offline, likely in response to security vendor interventions or registrar enforcement actions. Despite its current inactive status, the domain remains a residual risk due to potential re-registration or migration to alternative infrastructure. Users who interacted with the site are advised to immediately revoke any connected wallet authorizations, rotate credentials for associated accounts, and monitor for unauthorized transactions. Organizations should update blocklists to include this domain and its resolving IP to prevent future access attempts. The low detection rate on VirusTotal underscores the need for multi-layered security controls, including real-time URL analysis and behavioral monitoring, to mitigate similar credential theft campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260515-97E1F2 Favicon MD5: 51ef3b344a3491ba956860bebe8eaef0 TLS cert SHA-256: 29d3e0ec068cf3187bfdcb479244c995b406d7419108e5098c869839a54b7553 ## 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/lagospulsefx.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=lagospulsefx.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.
