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.

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: 2026-06-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 16:13:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-30 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:18:17 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e92-e0e5-706f-9eca-363d827d0e4a/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mpgartenshop.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mpgartenshop.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mpgartenshop.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mpgartenshop.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mpgartenshop.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 16:14:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, mpgartenshop.com, is actively flagged as a generic phishing threat targeting online garden supply and home improvement consumers. Analysis indicates the domain is currently active and designed to impersonate legitimate retail platforms, likely harvesting payment credentials or personal data under false pretenses. The infrastructure exhibits multiple indicators of malicious intent, consistent with large-scale credential theft operations. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 15, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk registrations. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which has been linked to other suspicious domains in recent threat intelligence feeds. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is flagged by 8 of 95 vendors on VirusTotal, including detections for phishing and fraudulent content. Despite its recent creation date, the domain has already established an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, a tactic commonly employed to lend false legitimacy to phishing sites. Current status remains active, with no evidence of takedown or remediation at the time of assessment. The risk level is classified as high due to the domain's operational status, detection volume, and association with known malicious infrastructure. Organizations and end users are advised to block all traffic to and from 188.114.97.3 and mpgartenshop.com at the network perimeter. Security teams should monitor for connections to this domain in logs and investigate any prior interactions. Users who may have visited the site should reset credentials for any accounts accessed during the suspected exposure window and enable multi-factor authentication where available. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 68fbc7c5a10d4c301532ccfe13f48fa5 TLS cert SHA-256: 7ced083781f59c7747cedaa2f20aff0ebd42b1b60b50cf0abd9adfe4456992d7 ## 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/mpgartenshop.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mpgartenshop.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.
