# PhishDestroy threat dossier — nightmare-cheats.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-22 16:49:16 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/nightmare-cheats.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 73/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.130.74 Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: alan.ns.cloudflare.com, emily.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-11 Expires: 2027-06-03 Page title: Nightmare Cheats — Dominate Every Lobby ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-01 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: b45fa680be80f6dda11eebd3a521ff82b097f1d0fe056d1ebf9a17eb2104d268 ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-11 23:25:21 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-06-11 21:27:06 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-22 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-15 00:25:27 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) 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/019eb892-63c9-74f9-ad8a-a242fbc883bc/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/3ca09af7-a5a1-4e0b-92a2-88b5826db5cf Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/nightmare-cheats.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.nightmare-cheats.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=nightmare-cheats.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/nightmare-cheats.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/nightmare-cheats.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-13 11:43:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies nightmare-cheats.net as a domain involved in generic_phishing, currently active.

[Updates since narrative was generated:] - WHOIS creation date: 2026-06-11 - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260611-8B1E4A TLS cert SHA-256: b45fa680be80f6dda11eebd3a521ff82b097f1d0fe056d1ebf9a17eb2104d268 ## 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/nightmare-cheats.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nightmare-cheats.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.
