Hosting org: AS13335 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: ["grace.ns.cloudflare.com", "carmelo.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2026-10-08 Page title: SunWukong Exchange | Trade Perpetual Futures on TRON with Deep Liquidity ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-06-03 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: cd465ce3502131d84b6624b931a601d2f8056a807dd7c0bb1c2c9b9e65397189 ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-13 08:32:49 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-13 07:50:52 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-15 18:06:59 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c557a-fd3e-773a-8957-343e737c181f/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/sunwukong.exchange crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.sunwukong.exchange Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=sunwukong.exchange AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/sunwukong.exchange URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/sunwukong.exchange/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:15:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies sunwukong.exchange as a medium-risk phishing domain impersonating a TRON perpetual futures trading platform under the name SunWukong Exchange. It aims to mislead cryptocurrency users into divulging credentials or funds. The domain was created on February 21, 2026, resolving to IP 188.114.97.3 and registered via NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. It has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100 and is listed on one security blocklist. VirusTotal flags 5 out of 95 security vendors for malicious activity linked to this domain. Currently taken offline, sunwukong.exchange no longer resolves actively. Users are advised to avoid this domain, refrain from sharing login details, and keep security software updated to prevent exposure to similar phishing threats. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/93 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 8bc0b4b006b0c11343cd1610c94f2a6b2d5029bd57070f52aaeec5eb6bcaf3ee TLS cert SHA-256: cd465ce3502131d84b6624b931a601d2f8056a807dd7c0bb1c2c9b9e65397189 ## 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/sunwukong.exchange/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sunwukong.exchange 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.
