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.

No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-05 00:10:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-04 21:45:05 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 04:08:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 04:08:41 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d5a53-6dea-749c-b395-8477d4ecb0ab/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/aa40d8ab-d262-4916-a490-b7372088fe84 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/towatu.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.towatu.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=towatu.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/towatu.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/towatu.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-05 00:11:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies towatu.com as a potentially malicious domain currently under investigation for hosting a crypto drainer scam. This site has not yet been flagged by standard detection tools, showing 0 detections out of 95 VirusTotal scans, indicating recent or stealthy deployment. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on March 15, 2026, and resolves to IP address 172.67.162.236 with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, standard infrastructure for fraudulent operations attempting to appear legitimate. This domain demonstrates multiple red flags consistent with crypto drainer campaigns. The unusually recent creation date (March 15, 2026) suggests a newly established operation, while the complete absence of VirusTotal detections (0/95) indicates this threat evades conventional security measures. The use of a legitimate-looking registrar and SSL certificate further masks its malicious intent, tricking users into trusting the domain while facilitating cryptocurrency theft through fake transaction interfaces. Users who have visited this site should immediately check their crypto wallets for unauthorized transactions and revoke any connected wallet permissions. Clear browser cache and cookies, then run a full antivirus scan. For comprehensive protection, verify the domain's current status on PhishDestroy, which maintains updated blocklists of crypto drainers and other fraudulent sites. Never enter wallet credentials or approve transactions on unfamiliar domains, even if they appear technically legitimate. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260404-F168D8 Favicon MD5: 936386e361020ac6bcebbcc772491fbb TLS cert SHA-256: e7ee92680d35b491c4fdaf4884dbe50c031aceff71ac14bb1b8b54b72857894d ## 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/towatu.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=towatu.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.
