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: ["edna.ns.cloudflare.com", "lou.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: ЅuѕһіЅwар HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-05-07 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 95eb9730f9c4c63835f168b447b37504bf0e1c90722555b439d5b95cddb57efb Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - v3sushi.cc ## 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: 2026-02-26 23:24:00 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-12 20:24:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019a211e-52f2-73bb-a534-dd6294e3e422/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/swap.v3sushi.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.swap.v3sushi.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=swap.v3sushi.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/swap.v3sushi.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/swap.v3sushi.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:28:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies swap.v3sushi.cc as a brand impersonation threat targeting SushiSwap users. Although classified as low risk, such domains aim to deceive visitors by mimicking trusted platforms, potentially leading to credential theft or financial loss. Recognizing these threats is crucial to protecting personal and digital assets. The domain swap.v3sushi.cc was registered on February 21, 2026, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. It resolved to IP address 188.114.97.3 and appeared on two security blocklists. VirusTotal flagged it with 2 out of 95 security vendors, indicating limited but notable suspicion. The page title used a visually deceptive variant of “SushiSwap,” further supporting its intent to impersonate the legitimate brand. Currently, the domain is taken offline, reducing immediate risk. Users should remain vigilant and avoid visiting swap.v3sushi.cc or providing any personal information if encountered. Always confirm URLs directly from official SushiSwap communication channels and use bookmarked or verified links. If you suspect interaction with such impersonation sites, consider updating credentials and monitoring accounts for unusual activity. Staying informed and cautious helps prevent falling victim to phishing or fraud attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 95eb9730f9c4c63835f168b447b37504bf0e1c90722555b439d5b95cddb57efb ## 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/swap.v3sushi.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=swap.v3sushi.cc 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.
