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.

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: 2025-12-26 (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) First reported: 2026-01-02 23:46:44 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-04 01:36:20 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-14 06:09:35 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019b8114-39b6-7148-99dd-fe1d28118e24/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/984d2bf2-d545-4f10-8619-00ab0d2a5c83 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/register-midnight.network crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.register-midnight.network Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=register-midnight.network AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/register-midnight.network URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/register-midnight.network/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 03:27:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies register-midnight.network as a high-risk phishing domain associated with crypto draining activities. The domain, promoting itself under the guise of "Midnight | Bringing rational privacy to blockchain," was designed to deceive users interested in blockchain privacy solutions. Technical analysis reveals the domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on December 26, 2025. It resolved to IP address 104.21.95.34 and was involved in distributing the Angel Drainer kit, a known crypto wallet draining tool. The domain appeared on four security blocklists and was flagged by 13 out of 95 antivirus vendors on VirusTotal, indicating its malicious nature. Currently, register-midnight.network has been taken offline, mitigating immediate risk. However, its prior activity underscores the ongoing threat posed by crypto-draining schemes. PhishDestroy recommends continued vigilance and monitoring of similar domains leveraging blockchain and privacy themes to lure victims. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260102-F2AA39 Favicon SHA-256: 82ee58f990a0bbf7e8f3f34086d5c61431cb8bfcf6308299dab68bf6db3aa97a ## 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/register-midnight.network/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=register-midnight.network 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.
