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: keaton.ns.cloudflare.com, oaklyn.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-26 Expires: 2027-05-26 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-05-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-01 02:32:29 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-01 01:42:57 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-25 00:20:44 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 12:36:42 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e805e-ced2-7796-ad71-aac156d11a04/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/b8897db4-c7ff-4453-9936-c7c8b0feabee Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/season4-avaxnetwork.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.season4-avaxnetwork.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=season4-avaxnetwork.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/season4-avaxnetwork.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/season4-avaxnetwork.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:43:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain season4-avaxnetwork.xyz has been flagged at an elevated risk level due to its specific threat type: brand impersonation targeting Avalanche. This phishing domain was designed to deceive users by mimicking the legitimate Avalanche network, potentially to steal credentials or sensitive information. PhishDestroy assesses this as a credible threat given the domain's intentional resemblance to the official brand and its active use before being taken offline. Technical analysis reveals multiple red flags. The domain was registered on May 26, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar sometimes associated with questionable domains. It resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3, and VirusTotal data shows 4 out of 95 security vendors flagging it as malicious. Additionally, the domain appears on 3 security blocklists and has no SSL certificate, further undermining its legitimacy. These indicators collectively paint a clear picture of a fraudulent operation. For users who may have encountered this domain, immediate steps are recommended. Avoid interacting with any pages from season4-avaxnetwork.xyz, and do not enter any personal or financial information. If credentials were submitted, change passwords for the affected accounts and enable two-factor authentication. Report the domain to relevant authorities and monitor accounts for suspicious activity. PhishDestroy continues to track similar threats to help users stay protected. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260601-1EE07D Favicon MD5: bdc6cd155a8ea0f4833f57c5b7806682 ## 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/season4-avaxnetwork.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=season4-avaxnetwork.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.
