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: dean.ns.cloudflare.com, hazel.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-24 Expires: 2027-05-24 Page title: Stake Maxalt | Official Platform for AI Assisted Trading HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 375604352c22d6561bf0353c12583b7f79893d73aff4a917efdce0243a8dd66f ## 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: 2026-05-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 17:37:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 16:14:56 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 00:17:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 00:02:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efa46-416a-74af-8d51-00de7ed4c63e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/425eed02-be49-4c12-bff1-29377ae51a26 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/stakemaxalt-ai.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.stakemaxalt-ai.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=stakemaxalt-ai.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/stakemaxalt-ai.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/stakemaxalt-ai.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:13:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, stakemaxalt-ai.live, is identified as a crypto drainer phishing campaign designed to mimic legitimate AI-assisted trading platforms. Analysis of the page title, "Stake Maxalt | Official Platform for AI Assisted Trading," indicates an attempt to impersonate a trusted trading service, likely to deceive users into connecting cryptocurrency wallets. The infrastructure appears to deploy a drainer kit, a common tool used in such campaigns to automatically siphon funds once wallet access is granted. No specific brand impersonation matches were confirmed, but the thematic targeting aligns with known crypto-related fraud patterns. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on May 24, 2026, an unusually forward-dated registration that may suggest automated or fraudulent domain creation practices. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which has been associated with other low-reputation hosting environments. VirusTotal reports 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, while AlienVault OTX lists it in a single threat intelligence pulse. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is not currently indexed by Google Safe Browsing. SSL certification is provided by Let's Encrypt, a common but neutral indicator in such cases. As of the latest assessment, stakemaxalt-ai.live has been taken offline, likely due to enforcement actions by security providers. Despite its inactive status, residual risk remains for users who may have interacted with the domain prior to its removal. Historical DNS records and cached page versions may still pose a threat if accessed. Users are advised to verify wallet connections, revoke any suspicious authorizations, and monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions. Organizations should update blocklists to include this domain and its associated indicators to prevent future exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-5B8E7D Favicon MD5: b34506cdd39059243bbbcf00bb24b737 TLS cert SHA-256: 375604352c22d6561bf0353c12583b7f79893d73aff4a917efdce0243a8dd66f ## 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/stakemaxalt-ai.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=stakemaxalt-ai.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
