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.

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: 2026-06-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-20 22:13:36 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-24 00:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-21 18:17:15 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ee6a8-fab8-7531-bd4d-f647ee28605b/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/sumsub-scanwallet.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.sumsub-scanwallet.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=sumsub-scanwallet.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/sumsub-scanwallet.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/sumsub-scanwallet.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 23:02:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] sumsub-scanwallet.com is an AML scam domain that has already been taken down. Despite its offline status, the domain was initially detected with zero VirusTotal detections, illustrating its freshness and the rapid pace at which it was identified. This early detection is crucial, as phishing domains often exploit the 24-72 hour window before antivirus databases can propagate new threats. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and hosted on an IP managed by Cloudflare, Inc. The domain's page title, "AML Check — Financial Security Matters," indicates its intent to deceive users into believing they are engaging in legitimate anti-money laundering checks. This type of scam typically targets individuals by impersonating financial institutions or regulatory bodies, aiming to collect sensitive personal and financial information under the guise of compliance. sumsub-scanwallet.com was first detected by PhishDestroy on June 20, 2026, just a week after its creation. The domain's platform risk score of 53 out of 100 suggests a moderate level of threat, which is significant given its brief lifespan before being taken offline. The domain's inclusion in PhishDestroy's blocklist further underscores its potential danger, even though it managed to avoid detection by other security vendors at the time of its discovery. This case highlights the importance of early detection and proactive threat intelligence in mitigating risks posed by newly registered scam domains. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 7d7e1b7665da4ad170c673c14f86d05d6fc16b491f009c04844d2444d8345d99 ## 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/sumsub-scanwallet.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sumsub-scanwallet.com 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.
