## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      198.252.104.154 (US, Omaha)
ASN:             AS20068 Hawk Host Inc.
Hosting org:     Hawk Host Inc
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-27 07:22:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Is niftyfinancegroup.com a phishing site?

The domain niftyfinancegroup.com was registered on February 06, 2025 through NameSilo, LLC and is currently resolved to the IP address 198.252.104.154. Its authoritative name servers are ns5.hawkhost.com and ns6.hawkhost.com, indicating that the hosting infrastructure is provided by Hawkhost. The domain is listed on a single security blocklist and has been flagged by the PhishDestroy filtering service, confirming active malicious use.

VirusTotal analysis shows that 1 of 91 security vendors has flagged the domain, reinforcing the suspicion of abuse. The domain’s risk level is rated high and its status remains active as of the report date, July 27, 2026. No public page title, SSL certificate details, or HTTP response codes have been disclosed, leaving the exact content and delivery mechanism of the phishing campaign unverified.

Consequently, the precise phishing lure or targeted brand cannot be confirmed from the available intelligence. Defenders should treat the domain as malicious, enforce blocking at perimeter and DNS layers, and monitor outbound connections for any attempts to resolve or contact 198.252.104.154. Continuous re‑scanning with multi‑engine services is advised to capture any additional detections that may emerge as threat actors evolve the payload.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260727-10E474
Favicon MD5:       abcd7aab204d6efe9b7c7233f8290693
TLS cert SHA-256:      bf763e2b3f3d5594342220a277d179eb75306bfb6c1defd6cbb6ec0084f467b1

## 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 (operator 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.
