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.

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: 2026-06-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-20 10:01:33 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-25 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-21 00:18:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ee40b-3a96-70d9-8728-0b5fc9a6a4be/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/metamaio-swap.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.metamaio-swap.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=metamaio-swap.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/metamaio-swap.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/metamaio-swap.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-23 10:20:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain metamaio-swap.com is an active impersonation scam site, fraudulently presenting itself as "Metamask swap - Aggregated token rates across major networks" to mimic the legitimate MetaMask brand. This site poses a threat by deceiving users into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets or entering private keys under the guise of a token swapping service, potentially leading to asset theft. Technical evidence confirms the site's malicious nature. VirusTotal shows 9 out of 95 security vendors flagging it as malicious. It is blocked by alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, and Fortinet. The domain was created on 2026-06-18, registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The site resolves to IP 172.67.221.185 located in the United States, hosted on AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc., and uses an SSL certificate from Google Trust Services. Its nameservers are colin.ns.cloudflare.com and naya.ns.cloudflare.com. The domain remains ACTIVE with a GridinSoft trust score of 0 out of 100 and a DOM risk score of 95, indicating a high risk. Users should avoid interacting with this site and treat it as a confirmed threat. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 7655f7783972a15874ee280bfc4bcbec TLS cert SHA-256: 05c6b5ed5850249247cb6b2b7c07f888b01aff146930e9d107816c6d83d376b0 ## 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/metamaio-swap.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=metamaio-swap.com 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.
