!!! 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:

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2025-12-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2025-12-01 12:36:03 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-04-24 07:02:14 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 03:09:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies log-gradient.network as a low-risk generic phishing domain that has been recently taken offline. While the threat level is assessed as low, caution is still advised due to its prior malicious activity and presence on multiple security blocklists.

Evidence linked to this domain includes its registration through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolution to an IP address known to be associated with suspicious activity. The domain appeared on three separate security blocklists, and a small number of security vendors flagged it in VirusTotal scans. The page title "Index of /" indicates an incomplete or placeholder website likely used for phishing deployment. Despite being offline currently, its existence highlights potential risks for users encountering this domain in emails or messages.

To mitigate risks, users should refrain from interacting with links or emails referencing this domain. Security teams are encouraged to maintain updated blocklists and monitor for any resurgence of similar domains. Implementing robust email filtering and user awareness training will help prevent exposure to such low-level phishing threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon SHA-256:       d5a89e26beae0bc03ad18a0b0d1d3d75f87c32047879d25da11970cb5c4662a3

## 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.
