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: 2026-06-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-17 18:39:42 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-30 04:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 00:14:29 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed672-140b-742f-abdb-b483eb27892e/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/metashift-ua.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.metashift-ua.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=metashift-ua.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/metashift-ua.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/metashift-ua.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:08:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, metashift-ua.com, is confirmed to host a phishing site masquerading as a legitimate advertising portal. Analysis indicates the site impersonates a business advertising service, likely targeting Ukrainian-speaking users with the false promise of business growth through advertising solutions. The domain is currently offline, but prior activity suggests it was designed to harvest credentials or distribute malicious payloads under the guise of marketing services. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on June 10, 2026, an anomalous future date indicating potential domain spoofing or registry manipulation. It resolved to the IP address 172.67.189.163 and was flagged by 6 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services, a common tactic to lend false legitimacy. The domain appears on one security blocklist and was previously blocked by PhishDestroy, further corroborating its malicious nature. The domain has been taken offline, but similar threats may persist. Organizations are advised to block the domain and its associated IP (172.67.189.163) at the perimeter. Security teams should monitor for related domains registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED or resolving to the same IP range. End-users should be educated to verify advertising service legitimacy through official channels and report suspicious domains to their security providers. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 41f9472bd986109f268320ca3a58ee53 TLS cert SHA-256: 730bc29971b9cd50b6eac4cd133ab822dfd8293abd729b2b26ce386295fe3f70 ## 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/metashift-ua.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=metashift-ua.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.
