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 Registered: 2026-06-10 Expires: 2027-06-10 Page title: Apyx HTTP response: 530 ## 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: 2026-06-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-10 19:56:46 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-10 18:26:28 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 08:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-14 00:57:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eb2b3-d3e9-718b-b845-fdd9737b5013/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/6f8b0bfe-93da-4574-8392-ad5ab6737612 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/proposal-apyxfi.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.proposal-apyxfi.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=proposal-apyxfi.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/proposal-apyxfi.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/proposal-apyxfi.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 14:53:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain proposal-apyxfi.xyz is currently operating as an active phishing endpoint targeting cryptocurrency wallet users. Analysis indicates this infrastructure is designed to harvest sensitive credentials through a fraudulent interface impersonating Apyx, a legitimate decentralized finance platform. The threat type is classified as cryptocurrency credential phishing with a high-risk assessment due to its operational status and detection profile. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 10, 2024, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with malicious registrations. The domain appears on three distinct security blocklists, including specialized cryptocurrency threat intelligence feeds. VirusTotal detection metrics show 5 of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious, with specific classifications including phishing and fraudulent credential harvesting. The page title 'Apyx' confirms the impersonation attempt, while the unique seed identifier 288f0d distinguishes this campaign instance from related infrastructure. Current status remains active as of analysis, with no evidence of takedown or mitigation. Organizations and individuals are advised to implement immediate blocking of this domain at the network perimeter and endpoint levels. Cryptocurrency wallet users should verify all transaction requests through official channels only, particularly those involving Apyx-branded interfaces. Security teams should monitor for related domains registered through the same registrar and sharing similar naming patterns, as this campaign likely represents one node in a broader phishing operation targeting decentralized finance users. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260610-1B3922 Favicon MD5: c15f8aa7f11e11100592b67eecefccc2 ## 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/proposal-apyxfi.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=proposal-apyxfi.xyz 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.
