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.

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: 2026-06-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 15:04:41 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-02 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:18:17 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e53-af9c-722b-b8e8-1de4cac20de8/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/thomas-autosales.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.thomas-autosales.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=thomas-autosales.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/thomas-autosales.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/thomas-autosales.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 18:01:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, thomas-autosales.com, is identified as a phishing site designed to impersonate a legitimate auto dealership. Analysis indicates the site likely aims to deceive visitors into submitting personal information, financial details, or making fraudulent payments under the pretense of purchasing vehicles. The site may also distribute malware or redirect users to additional malicious infrastructure, increasing the risk of credential theft or financial fraud. Technical indicators confirm the domain's suspicious nature. The domain was registered on June 23, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.146.70 and is currently flagged by 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. Additionally, the domain appears in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse and is listed on one security blocklist. The page title, Thomas Auto Sales, mimics legitimate dealership branding to enhance credibility. If you have visited thomas-autosales.com or interacted with its content, immediate action is recommended. Disconnect the device from the network to prevent potential data exfiltration. Scan the system using updated security tools to detect and remove any malware. Reset passwords for any accounts accessed while the device was compromised, particularly those related to financial services or email. Monitor bank statements and credit reports for unauthorized transactions. Report the domain to relevant authorities or security organizations to assist in mitigating further threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c95f73dddffae327d54723949a9d643a TLS cert SHA-256: c715d9ae366679e70cc9908817f9ee1b251701977999ecbdb6b31592a7f54606 ## 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/thomas-autosales.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=thomas-autosales.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
