Hosting org: 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: keaton.ns.cloudflare.com, oaklyn.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-14 Expires: 2027-06-14 Page title: $TURTLE TVL DISTRIBUTION ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-12 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 57519dbbd1537738259d0ada88a3c365c0c821db75d78bebb482c6b797eb410c ## 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: 2026-06-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-16 11:46:41 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-02 04:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 00:11:32 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ecfd1-fa69-711e-9775-b7a33e825724/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/themrturtle.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.themrturtle.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=themrturtle.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/themrturtle.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/themrturtle.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:42:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, themrturtle.com, is identified as a crypto drainer phishing site, specifically targeting users with a fraudulent $TURTLE TVL DISTRIBUTION scheme. The page title and structure suggest an attempt to mimic decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, likely aiming to trick victims into connecting wallets and authorizing malicious transactions to drain funds. No legitimate brand affiliation is confirmed, but the design and terminology align with common crypto drainer kits observed in recent campaigns. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on June 14, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. It is flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on 4 security blocklists. The domain uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services and employs Cloudflare for hosting, including Cloudflare Browser Insights and HTTP/3. Despite its elevated risk classification, the domain is currently offline, though historical records confirm its malicious activity. Current status shows themrturtle.com as offline, likely due to takedown efforts or infrastructure changes. However, the domain remains a residual risk until fully revoked or sinkholed. Users who interacted with the site should revoke any wallet approvals, monitor transactions for unauthorized activity, and verify connected applications. Network-level blocking of the IP 188.114.97.3 and associated domains is recommended for mitigation. Continued vigilance is advised, as threat actors may re-establish operations under similar domains or infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 57519dbbd1537738259d0ada88a3c365c0c821db75d78bebb482c6b797eb410c ## 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/themrturtle.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=themrturtle.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.
