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 09:14:22 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:23:34 UTC (STALE — 28 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-03-15 06:12:04 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 28 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 28 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/019c55a1-03a0-76d8-9cc6-22cc9861c98d/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/saxchain.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.saxchain.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=saxchain.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/saxchain.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/saxchain.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 15:30:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain saxchain.live was identified as a generic phishing threat targeting cryptocurrency users through SAX Chain brand impersonation. No specific drainer kit was detected in this instance. Technical indicators show the domain was registered through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited on February 21, 2026, resolving to IP 188.114.96.3. VirusTotal reports 2/95 security vendors flag this domain, while Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100. The domain appears on 3 security blocklists and utilizes HSTS, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Cloudflare Browser Insights, Cloudflare, and HTTP/3 technologies. Currently offline after being taken down, saxchain.live was blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. While no longer active, the domain's registration details and infrastructure patterns remain relevant for threat intelligence. The elevated risk assessment reflects the domain's confirmed malicious status before takedown. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/93 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8b3da5b5a243f1653e7e9c0b06f64f3 TLS cert SHA-256: 9e36c5741395f76766eb811d8f64ac835f31057169792c22c6934c9f032559bb ## 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/saxchain.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=saxchain.live 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.
