Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. 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: ["gerardo.ns.cloudflare.com", "piper.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-08 Expires: 2027-06-08 HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 0c1fb37ffc604665a9610be196fc4058fbb683d42d440fc344c8723439460b09 ## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-10 14:40:59 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-10 14:33:53 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 00:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-15 00:47:31 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 00:23:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, redirect-18290.com, is actively engaged in cryptocurrency wallet credential harvesting operations. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to mimic legitimate wallet interfaces, tricking users into entering private keys or recovery phrases. The targeted nature of this threat—specifically aimed at cryptocurrency assets—elevates its risk profile, as compromised credentials can lead to immediate and irreversible financial losses for victims. The domain employs social engineering tactics, including urgency cues and fake security alerts, to coerce users into disclosing sensitive authentication details. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators supporting this assessment. The domain was registered on June 8, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.157.171 and is protected by Cloudflare, which obscures the origin server and complicates takedown efforts. Detection engines on VirusTotal flag the domain as malicious, with 5 out of 95 security vendors marking it as phishing-related. Additionally, the domain appears on three security blocklists and has been referenced in two threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, further lends a veneer of legitimacy to the fraudulent site. Users who have visited redirect-18290.com or entered credentials on the site should assume their cryptocurrency wallet information has been compromised. Immediate actions include revoking access to any connected applications, transferring assets to a new wallet with a fresh recovery phrase, and monitoring transaction histories for unauthorized activity. System scans using updated security tools are recommended to detect potential secondary infections. Due to the irreversible nature of cryptocurrency transactions, victims should report the incident to relevant financial and cybersecurity authorities to aid in tracking and mitigating further abuse of the infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 47cd79fa2df1f5ec0cefec2baa548577 TLS cert SHA-256: 0c1fb37ffc604665a9610be196fc4058fbb683d42d440fc344c8723439460b09 ## 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/redirect-18290.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=redirect-18290.com 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.
