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: 2026-05-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-01 02:00:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-01 00:01:10 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 00:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-10 00:33:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e8041-f7ef-7328-b8d2-869aad46dd27/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/717a0b4e-4d60-48f0-81a0-9e1629d2c237 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/palladiumbot42-fr.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.palladiumbot42-fr.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=palladiumbot42-fr.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/palladiumbot42-fr.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/palladiumbot42-fr.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 03:22:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, palladiumbot42-fr.live, is identified as a credential theft operation impersonating the Palladium Bot 4.2 AI-assisted trading platform. The page title, "Palladium Bot 4.2 | Plateforme officielle de trading assisté par IA," suggests an attempt to deceive users into submitting login credentials or financial information under the guise of an official trading service. No explicit crypto drainer kit signatures were detected, but the infrastructure aligns with credential harvesting tactics commonly used in financial fraud schemes. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on May 26, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and resolves to the IP address 104.21.66.44. It is flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100. The domain appears on two security blocklists and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy and OISD. Technologies detected include Unpkg, jsDelivr, jQuery, Cloudflare Browser Insights, Cloudflare, and HTTP/3, with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate providing HTTPS encryption. The domain is currently offline, likely due to takedown actions or infrastructure adjustments by the threat actor. Despite its inactive status, residual risk remains for users who may have interacted with the site prior to its removal. Organizations are advised to monitor for credential reuse attempts, particularly targeting financial or trading-related accounts. Network-level blocking of the domain and associated IP (104.21.66.44) is recommended to prevent potential re-emergence or lateral movement within compromised environments. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260601-A01CF9 Favicon MD5: e87e3ca68a1f138a3526b5d53d7580c0 TLS cert SHA-256: 29c9e23523c53a690a36cd0f34ddd643044d604aebae2cd4198bd89569e47d74 ## 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/palladiumbot42-fr.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=palladiumbot42-fr.live 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.
