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: javier.ns.cloudflare.com, rafe.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-26 Expires: 2027-06-26 Page title: Heisted ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-24 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 7effe789bd520a8add4b10c33636a0d40394789dea6731811711c5154c92cee3 ## 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: 2026-06-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 11:57:41 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 10:13:28 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-28 18:18:02 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0da8-55db-708f-aea9-08fd67ad022c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/1d2ef88e-0ab4-4ebf-9584-0fe9e8dabae9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/rewards-heisted.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.rewards-heisted.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=rewards-heisted.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/rewards-heisted.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/rewards-heisted.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 12:00:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, rewards-heisted.xyz, is actively engaged in credential theft operations, presenting itself as a legitimate rewards or loyalty program to deceive users into submitting sensitive login information. The site employs social engineering tactics, likely leveraging urgency or exclusivity claims to prompt victims into entering credentials, which are then harvested for malicious purposes such as account takeover, identity theft, or further targeted attacks. The page title 'Heisted' suggests an attempt to create a false sense of urgency or legitimacy, a common tactic in phishing campaigns designed to lower user vigilance. Analysis of the domain infrastructure reveals several indicators of malicious intent. The domain was registered on June 26, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. As of this report, the domain resolves to the IP address 172.67.198.169 and has not yet been flagged by security vendors, with a VirusTotal detection score of 0 out of 95. The absence of detections at this stage is not uncommon for newly registered domains, which often evade initial scrutiny due to their recent creation and lack of historical reputation. The use of a content delivery network (CDN) IP further complicates attribution and takedown efforts, as it obscures the true origin of the malicious infrastructure. Users who have visited rewards-heisted.xyz or interacted with its content are advised to take immediate remedial action. Those who entered credentials should assume compromise and initiate password resets for all accounts where the same or similar credentials were used. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on critical accounts to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access. Monitor financial and communication accounts for signs of suspicious activity, such as unauthorized transactions or messages. Security teams should update blocklists to include the domain and its associated IP address, 172.67.198.169, to prevent further exposure within their networks. Reporting the domain to relevant threat intelligence platforms can aid in broader mitigation efforts and contribute to the domain's eventual takedown. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-153489 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 7effe789bd520a8add4b10c33636a0d40394789dea6731811711c5154c92cee3 ## 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/rewards-heisted.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rewards-heisted.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.
