Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response.

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: 2026-05-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-15 03:56:03 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-15 03:55:46 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 12:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:30:54 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e2920-21bc-721a-a948-fd18e1d3174c/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/otcnova.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.otcnova.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=otcnova.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/otcnova.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/otcnova.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 05:30:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is identified as a credential harvesting phishing site targeting users through deceptive login interfaces. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate over-the-counter trading platforms, tricking visitors into submitting sensitive account credentials, personal information, or financial details. The fraudulent nature of the site is designed to harvest data for unauthorized access or financial fraud, posing a direct risk to user security and privacy. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators confirming malicious intent. The domain otcnova.com was registered on May 15, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which is linked to other suspicious activities. Security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain, with 5 out of 95 engines detecting it as malicious. Additionally, the domain appears on two security blocklists, further corroborating its classification as a phishing threat. The site employs technologies such as Node.js, Vue.js, and Nuxt.js, alongside Cloudflare services, to evade detection and enhance its legitimacy facade. Users who visited otcnova.com or entered credentials on the site should take immediate action to mitigate risks. First, revoke any submitted credentials by changing passwords for associated accounts, particularly those related to financial or email services. Enable multi-factor authentication where available to add an additional layer of security. Monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions or suspicious activity, and report any anomalies to the respective service providers. If financial information was disclosed, contact the relevant institution to initiate fraud protection measures. Finally, scan local devices for malware or unauthorized access, as phishing sites may deploy additional payloads to compromise user systems. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: eb03c3099970e7050e0241def813b049 TLS cert SHA-256: 2c101b2d6f55211b99b11ec3aa292951cbc59aed1e9507cdaed5b20b19efde15 ## 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/otcnova.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=otcnova.com 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.
