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: 2025-10-23 (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: 2025-10-28 10:46:03 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-27 12:21:57 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-14 04:34:22 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019a2a6b-c453-775b-94a6-894bb1e8e954/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/reward-pepe.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.reward-pepe.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=reward-pepe.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/reward-pepe.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/reward-pepe.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-23 07:00:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] reward-pepe.xyz — Crypto Drainer Phishing Investigation Report This domain, reward-pepe.xyz, is assessed as a high-risk crypto drainer phishing site targeting users through Wallet Connect abuse. Infrastructure analysis reveals it was registered on October 23, 2025, via NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited, and resolved to the IP address 213.165.61.42, hosted under AS207713 (GLOBAL INTERNET SOLUTIONS LLC) in Russia. The domain is currently offline, but prior activity involved the Angel Drainer kit, a known tool for compromising cryptocurrency wallets by harvesting seed phrases. Nameservers (a.dnspod.com, b.dnspod.com, c.dnspod.com) and the absence of an SSL certificate align with common phishing infrastructure patterns. The page title 'PEPE' and the scam type 'Wallet/Seed Phishing' indicate a focus on cryptocurrency users, though the exact content or branding tactics remain unconfirmed due to the site's offline status. Defenders should note that the domain appears on four security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, Polkadot, Enkrypt, and Codeesura, and was flagged by 12 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100 further corroborates its malicious classification. While the domain impersonates Google, no direct evidence of Google branding on the page itself is available. Given the offline status, immediate threats are mitigated, but the infrastructure may resurface under a new domain or IP. Defenders are advised to monitor related indicators, including the IP address, nameservers, and registrar details, for signs of re-emergence. Blocking the domain and associated IPs at the network level is recommended to prevent potential future access by users or automated systems. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 12/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## 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 (operator 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/reward-pepe.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=reward-pepe.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
