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: karsyn.ns.cloudflare.com, todd.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-07 Expires: 2027-05-07 Page title: Sterke Fondveer | Plateforme officielle de trading assisté par IA ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-05 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 5f642983d5b54720b4ddb53b0dcddc87e0724b59e944c0d32e98640caad9bd41 ## 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: 2026-05-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-15 04:08:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-15 01:39:15 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 04:20:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:30:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e292b-c5ca-7429-8a36-32706e7e0426/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/fb5e82d4-d038-42b0-8711-ec8ba76d8875 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/sterkefondveer-fr.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.sterkefondveer-fr.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=sterkefondveer-fr.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/sterkefondveer-fr.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/sterkefondveer-fr.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-15 04:09:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies sterkefondveer-fr.live as a credential harvesting phishing domain targeting users with an apparent Dutch or Flemish financial theme ('sterkefondsen' translates to 'strong funds'). The domain mimics legitimate financial or investment-related websites to trick visitors into submitting sensitive login credentials or financial information. Based on observed infrastructure and domain registration patterns, this appears to be part of a broader campaign aimed at deceiving users into believing they are interacting with a trusted financial entity. The threat actor leverages urgency and perceived legitimacy to increase the likelihood of successful credential capture or fraudulent transactions. This domain was flagged due to its association with active phishing infrastructure, including resolution to IP address 188.114.96.3 and a domain creation date of May 07, 2026—an unusually recent date that suggests opportunistic registration for malicious purposes. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar known to host both legitimate and malicious domains, and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to enhance its appearance of trustworthiness. Notably, VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 engines, indicating low detection coverage and highlighting the importance of proactive threat hunting. While not yet widely flagged, the combination of recent registration, active infrastructure, and phishing-specific indicators warrants immediate investigation and proactive blocking. Users who have visited sterkefondveer-fr.live should assume potential exposure of credentials or sensitive information if any data was entered. The domain is not yet widely recognized as malicious by security tools, which increases the risk of undetected compromise. It is strongly advised to change any passwords or credentials that may have been entered on this domain, especially if they are reused across other accounts. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all related accounts and monitor for unusual transactions or login attempts. Report the domain to your organization’s security team or to abuse channels such as Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, or your email security provider. Consider resetting session cookies and reviewing account activity for signs of unauthorized access. Proactive scanning of endpoint devices is recommended to detect potential follow-on compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260515-2C3090 Favicon MD5: e87e3ca68a1f138a3526b5d53d7580c0 TLS cert SHA-256: 5f642983d5b54720b4ddb53b0dcddc87e0724b59e944c0d32e98640caad9bd41 ## 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/sterkefondveer-fr.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sterkefondveer-fr.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.
