## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-28 17:34:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain nicecrypto.cc is associated with generic phishing attacks, specifically targeting users through brand impersonation and potentially functioning as a crypto drainer platform. The page title "NiceCrypto Affiliate" indicates an intent to mislead users into trusting the domain as a legitimate cryptocurrency service.

Technical indicators reveal a VirusTotal score of 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as suspicious. The registrar is NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and the domain resolves to the IP address 104.21.51.153. The creation date of the domain is recorded as June 24, 2026. Currently, the domain is still flagged as active and presents a high-risk status, indicating potential operational phishing activities.

As of the latest analysis, nicecrypto.cc remains active with ongoing risks associated with its usage. Immediate actions are recommended, including monitoring for indicator updates, assessing protections against potential phishing attempts, and considering blocklist integrations for enhanced security posturing against this domain.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71
TLS cert SHA-256:      aada5ec32b8c3f2c940121fbf9d59212c07536131eecc7843d9683c0bd15e40f

## 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.
