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: 2025-09-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-21 16:28:55 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-21 14:31:57 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-23 08:20:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-22 00:02:43 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eea94-90cc-7052-851f-5da83de8953c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/c81744ea-8886-4d3c-a54e-7c3608db8766 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/niataregister.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.niataregister.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=niataregister.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/niataregister.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/niataregister.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 23:00:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] niataregister.net poses as Empresa Portuaria Nacional, a known maritime entity, to deceive users. Despite being taken down, it is flagged by 4 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating its malicious intent. The domain is registered through INWX GmbH and hosted on an IP managed by Namecheap, Inc., located in the US. The domain's SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for legitimate sites, which can mislead users into trusting the site. PhishDestroy first detected niataregister.net on June 21, 2026. The domain was created on September 25, 2025, suggesting it may have been dormant before activation for phishing activities. The platform risk score for this domain is 66 out of 100, highlighting a moderate level of threat. Its presence on one public blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy's, further confirms its malicious nature. The site is now offline, reducing immediate risk, but its initial operation exploited users seeking services from Empresa Portuaria Nacional. This case exemplifies how phishing domains can briefly operate under the radar before being flagged by security measures. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260621-34B59C Favicon MD5: 8a86eba949988d01abbf9e4f4edbc470 TLS cert SHA-256: 530a5125c82950abf3fe733e8b9bbc9970b8436fde1599d6c29b4d0d08a4e436 ## 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/niataregister.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=niataregister.net 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.
