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: nico.ns.cloudflare.com, veronica.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-12 Expires: 2027-06-12 Page title: Suncor Enegry | Official Platform for AI Assisted Trading ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-10 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 4009fc78154e82c093ec880c30ba69ecc652ecf37099c875782f9f1e654b4d31 ## 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: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-17 18:47:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 21:00:55 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 04:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-19 18:19:47 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed679-de87-70a8-a4f3-d82436fa21ce/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/073da83e-6af0-4f8c-9fd2-1fe70df30b86 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/suncorenegry.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.suncorenegry.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=suncorenegry.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/suncorenegry.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/suncorenegry.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:07:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, suncorenegry.live, is identified as a phishing site specializing in AI-assisted trading scams, currently marked as offline. It impersonates Suncor Energy, a legitimate energy company, to deceive users into disclosing sensitive credentials or financial information under the guise of an official trading platform. The page title explicitly claims to be the 'Official Platform for AI Assisted Trading,' a tactic designed to exploit trust in both the energy sector and emerging AI-driven financial services. Analysis indicates the domain was flagged by 7 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, a notably elevated detection rate for a recently established site. It was registered on June 12, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. The domain resolves to IP address 172.67.189.179, which hosts additional suspicious infrastructure. It appears on one security blocklist and holds a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, reinforcing its classification as malicious. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of security to potential victims. The domain is currently offline, likely due to takedown efforts or operational suspension by the threat actor. Organizations and individuals are advised to block this domain at the network level and monitor for related indicators of compromise, including the IP address and registrar details. Security teams should update detection rules to include the domain name, SSL certificate issuer, and associated infrastructure. Users who may have interacted with this site should reset credentials, enable multi-factor authentication, and review financial accounts for unauthorized activity. Proactive threat hunting for similar domains registered under the same registrar or resolving to the same IP is recommended to mitigate further risk. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 7/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-B862FA Favicon MD5: b34506cdd39059243bbbcf00bb24b737 TLS cert SHA-256: 4009fc78154e82c093ec880c30ba69ecc652ecf37099c875782f9f1e654b4d31 ## 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/suncorenegry.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=suncorenegry.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.
