NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response.

No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-13 00:55:36 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:22:08 UTC (STALE — 32 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-02-28 00:54:48 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 32 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 32 days stale) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c53d8-58e3-7523-9664-d4c3879d6a01/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/redeem-steer.finance crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.redeem-steer.finance Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=redeem-steer.finance AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/redeem-steer.finance URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/redeem-steer.finance/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 15:36:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain redeem-steer.finance is a generic phishing threat targeting cryptocurrency users by impersonating Nexo's crypto loan services. This appears to be a credential harvesting operation designed to steal login information and potentially drain crypto assets. Technical analysis reveals the domain was created on February 21, 2026 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and resolves to IP 188.114.97.3. VirusTotal shows 2/95 security vendors flag this domain, and it appears on 1 security blocklist (PhishDestroy). Technologies detected include Cloudflare and HTTP/3. No Google Safe Browsing status or OTX pulses were reported in the available intelligence. The domain is currently offline, having been taken down following detection. While the immediate threat is neutralized, the registration details and infrastructure patterns remain concerning for potential reactivation. Users should continue to exercise caution with similar domains and verify through PhishDestroy before interacting with crypto loan offers. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 142f06d0884ffe352771fcb359ec24725743335bca0ba69d98ff26be2059310f TLS cert SHA-256: eb5eac2f95d16d6e6f881b5f3a60b17c46a5b3dcf30c5175675ae2efc5efb7a2 ## 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/redeem-steer.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=redeem-steer.finance 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.
