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: 2026-06-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 16:09:25 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 14:54:23 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 04:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:18:17 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e8f-0583-719c-84ed-1d09bdca4e18/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/dc8896b3-25be-4448-90ba-a0dfe6ef7d64 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/partway.sbs crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.partway.sbs Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=partway.sbs AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/partway.sbs URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/partway.sbs/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 17:45:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain partway.sbs carries a high risk designation due to its operation as a generic phishing campaign. The site presents a page title of PartWay — автозапчастини з Європи в Україну to impersonate a legitimate European auto parts importer serving Ukrainian customers. Such impersonation enables credential harvesting and potential malware distribution aimed at victims seeking vehicle components from abroad. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple corroborating indicators of malicious intent. The domain resolves to IP address 65.21.174.205 and was registered on June 18, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It employs an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. Detection metrics include a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, VirusTotal flags from 3 out of 95 security vendors, presence in 1 AlienVault OTX threat pulse, and ongoing active status despite the listed creation date. Users encountering partway.sbs should immediately refrain from any interaction including form submissions or downloads. Network administrators are advised to block the IP 65.21.174.205 at the firewall level and monitor internal traffic for related DNS queries. Affected parties can report the domain to their registrar and relevant threat intelligence platforms to accelerate sinkholing. Regular verification of URL legitimacy through direct navigation to known official sites reduces exposure to this category of impersonation attacks. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-7D2A8E Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 9dc3b414c2b18a60db4f335ad3587c370e1058840688e4e6df8dabd4613ab74f ## 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/partway.sbs/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=partway.sbs 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.
