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. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["magdalena.ns.cloudflare.com", "aldo.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: 404 Not Found HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-04-15 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 0041bd47628f3a2b2516c1b34a786bf1e127b32d3ab16b5503048e5e3ac7588e ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:20:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-26 23:20:20 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 04:20:34 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019a50bb-93db-741c-b2f3-c695731cc478/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/polygonscan.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.polygonscan.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=polygonscan.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/polygonscan.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/polygonscan.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-23 23:04:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain polygonscan.live impersonated Polygon for a scam operation, but the site is now down or taken down. 14 out of 95 security vendors, including BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, and Sophos, flagged polygonscan.live as malicious. It is listed on 1 public blocklist; Google Safe Browsing has not flagged it. NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited (HK) registered this domain. It resolved to IP 188.114.96.3. The domain was created on 2026-02-21 and first seen on 2026-02-26. Block polygonscan.live at the perimeter to prevent any potential future re-activation or related threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 0041bd47628f3a2b2516c1b34a786bf1e127b32d3ab16b5503048e5e3ac7588e ## 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/polygonscan.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=polygonscan.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.
