NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response.

No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-13 00:49:42 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:22:08 UTC (STALE — 25 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-03-16 03:13:17 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 25 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 25 days stale) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c53d2-eb0f-71af-b009-1ecb0166ec44/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/nexus-darknet.digital crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.nexus-darknet.digital Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=nexus-darknet.digital AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/nexus-darknet.digital URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/nexus-darknet.digital/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 16:18:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies nexus-darknet.digital as an active phishing domain posing a medium threat to users. This site masquerades under the guise of 'Nexus Darknet | Official Links & Mirrors,' aiming to deceive visitors into divulging sensitive information. Phishing attacks like this can lead to credential theft, financial loss, and compromised personal data, making vigilance essential. The domain was registered recently on February 21, 2026, via NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to the IP address 104.21.49.199. It currently appears on one security blocklist, and VirusTotal analysis shows limited but notable detection by security vendors. The infrastructure suggests a deliberate attempt to maintain active malicious operations under a darknet-themed facade. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with nexus-darknet.digital and any related links. Employ up-to-date antivirus solutions and rely on trusted sources for darknet-related information. If you encounter communications referencing this site, report them to your IT security team or use PhishDestroy’s reporting tools to help mitigate the threat and protect others. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 16dcb53b5995319cc2294119a384b282a7fd900f3eea261a9356652295384f80 TLS cert SHA-256: 5ed8e83bab64b1d6586931e115bea3564099a37d57a96bd7b5f71ed2379d8c0a ## 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/nexus-darknet.digital/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nexus-darknet.digital 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.
