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: keaton.ns.cloudflare.com, oaklyn.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-10 Expires: 2027-06-10 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-08 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 7eb2db378d496cc8f9d2c29a557b7528201ecb9244f779052206b22bcbb7c8cc ## 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: 2026-06-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-11 09:29:54 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-11 07:31:43 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-06 00:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 08:18:08 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eb595-44af-775b-9ee1-23d762b2bd8d/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/1bbc780f-541e-4de4-a052-8a57fec59f2f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/terminals-megaeth.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.terminals-megaeth.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=terminals-megaeth.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/terminals-megaeth.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/terminals-megaeth.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 14:54:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk crypto wallet phishing site targeting users of decentralized finance platforms. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to mimic legitimate wallet interfaces, likely to harvest private keys or seed phrases through deceptive input forms. The threat type is classified as crypto-specific credential theft, with a focus on exploiting users of Ethereum-based services. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 10, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3, hosted on AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.), a common obfuscation tactic to mask the true origin of malicious activity. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), providing a false sense of legitimacy. Detection engines report 5/95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, and it appears on four independent security blocklists. Additional technical indicators include blocking by multiple wallet security tools, confirming its role in crypto-specific phishing campaigns. Mitigation requires immediate action from both end-users and network administrators. Users should verify domain authenticity before interacting with any wallet-related interface, particularly those prompting for private keys or seed phrases. Browser-based wallet extensions with built-in phishing detection should be enabled, and transactions should only be initiated from verified, official platforms. Network-level protections should include DNS filtering to block resolution of this domain and its associated IP address. Organizations should monitor for outbound connections to 188.114.97.3 and correlate logs with known phishing indicators. Given the domain's recent registration and active status, continuous monitoring for related infrastructure (e.g., newly registered lookalike domains) is recommended. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260611-9A38B9 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 7eb2db378d496cc8f9d2c29a557b7528201ecb9244f779052206b22bcbb7c8cc ## 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/terminals-megaeth.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=terminals-megaeth.xyz 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.
