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: blakely.ns.cloudflare.com, houston.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-27 Expires: 2027-06-27 Page title: Mellstroy — Official Online Casino ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-09-25 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: ca68bfdcc82ce7b31d5d7bfb64d2d0717287a3c1b13b413fc8eab0caef05ba9d Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - api.mellcs.live ## 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: 2026-06-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 06:27:32 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 05:48:50 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 12:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:17:35 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1bed-0164-751e-ab69-22c4c54a67a8/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f5ec79bd-7bc2-48b8-a2c7-a9800bcaa958 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mellcs.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mellcs.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mellcs.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mellcs.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mellcs.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 06:35:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, mellcs.live, is flagged as a credential theft phishing operation. Analysis indicates no explicit brand impersonation or crypto drainer kit association, but the infrastructure is designed to harvest login credentials through fraudulent web forms. The domain lacks overt ties to known phishing toolkits, suggesting a custom or low-profile campaign targeting generic authentication portals. Technical indicators reveal the domain was registered on June 27, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to the IP address 186.2.175.63 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. VirusTotal detection shows 1/95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. AlienVault OTX lists it in one threat intelligence pulse, though no additional context is provided. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status is not explicitly confirmed, and no blocklist count beyond the single VT vendor is documented. The domain remains active as of the latest verification, posing an ongoing risk to users. Response actions should include immediate blocking of the domain and IP at the network perimeter, along with monitoring for related indicators of compromise. Remaining risk is classified as high due to the domain's persistence, minimal detection coverage, and unresolved infrastructure. Organizations are advised to implement phishing-resistant authentication methods and conduct user awareness training to mitigate credential theft attempts.

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 (operator 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/mellcs.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mellcs.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
