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: 2026-06-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-17 17:26:58 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 21:03:56 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 16:20:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 00:14:29 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed62f-e368-77f5-9258-107f2a741e50/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/37dbd997-d7c6-4e6d-bc04-db9d8f7c6a90 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/tinyurl-redirect.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.tinyurl-redirect.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=tinyurl-redirect.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/tinyurl-redirect.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/tinyurl-redirect.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:13:00 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 for elevated-risk phishing activity targeting users through fake URL shortener services. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to harvest credentials by redirecting victims to fraudulent login portals mimicking legitimate platforms. The threat type is classified as generic_phishing with a focus on credential theft, likely leveraging social engineering tactics to deceive users into entering sensitive information. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain tinyurl-redirect.xyz was created on June 17, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 104.21.61.22. It is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. The domain is flagged by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, appears on three security blocklists, and is actively blocked by multiple threat intelligence feeds. Its current status is offline, though historical activity suggests prior malicious use. Mitigation steps for this threat type include implementing DNS-based blocking of the domain and its associated IP address (104.21.61.22) across enterprise and consumer security tools. Organizations should monitor for indicators of compromise, such as unexpected redirects or unauthorized login attempts, and educate users on recognizing phishing tactics involving URL shorteners. Network-level filtering of newly registered domains from high-risk registrars like NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED can reduce exposure to similar threats. If credentials were entered on this domain, immediate password resets and multi-factor authentication enforcement are recommended. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-5CDD1C Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: a48d5c97f012fdc79d67a484178d1d709a8c57d9edc1fb89443ff19986dac120 ## 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/tinyurl-redirect.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tinyurl-redirect.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.
