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: 2026-05-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-01 02:27:32 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-01 00:59:46 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-05 12:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:29:05 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e8059-9d5f-760b-9084-ae906df477cc/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/dd6a904e-5449-411a-86e0-9783f0d3a53c Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/thorwalletdesktop.icu crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.thorwalletdesktop.icu Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=thorwalletdesktop.icu AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/thorwalletdesktop.icu URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/thorwalletdesktop.icu/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 03:08:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain thorwalletdesktop.icu is flagged as a crypto drainer impersonating the legitimate THORWallet service. This domain poses an elevated risk level and was designed to trick users into downloading a malicious extension for Windows. Infrastructure analysis reveals that the domain has a VirusTotal score of 0/95, indicating that it has not been flagged by any of the 95 security engines on VirusTotal. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to the IP address 64.29.17.1. It was created on May 26, 2026, and is currently flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering. The domain appears on 4 security blocklists, further highlighting its malicious intent. The domain is currently offline, which reduces immediate risk to users. However, it remains important to monitor for any resurfacing activity. The domain's elevated risk level, combined with its use of Vercel and HSTS, suggests a sophisticated operation. Users are advised to avoid downloading any software from this domain and to use official channels for THORWallet or any other cryptocurrency wallet services. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260601-DDD40F Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: c0562cc386c849e8767912d83fbb98e954f6d45e3180b8b80769880f4262dac8 ## 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/thorwalletdesktop.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=thorwalletdesktop.icu 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.
