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: ["bart.ns.cloudflare.com", "magdalena.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-10 HTTP response: 403 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-11 00:30:47 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 12:20:35 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 00:01:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain tr.merittkingbalgibi.icu is currently flagged as an active credential theft operation targeting users through deceptive login interfaces. Analysis indicates this infrastructure is designed to harvest account credentials, payment details, or other sensitive personal information under false pretenses. The domain remains operational as of this assessment, with no confirmed takedown or mitigation efforts observed. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 10, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. The site employs an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of security to potential victims. It is detected by 13 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with a single appearance on a security blocklist. The domain leverages Cloudflare for content delivery and HTTP/3 for network communication, both of which are commonly abused to obfuscate malicious traffic and evade detection. No legitimate brand affiliation or ownership has been established, further confirming its fraudulent nature. Current risk assessment classifies tr.merittkingbalgibi.icu as elevated due to its active status, low detection coverage, and use of evasive hosting techniques. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with this domain or any associated subdomains. Organizations should implement DNS-level blocking for tr.merittkingbalgibi.icu and monitor network logs for connections to this infrastructure. Endpoint protection systems should be updated to include this domain in threat intelligence feeds. If credentials or financial information were entered on this site, immediate password resets and account monitoring are recommended across all linked services. ## 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/tr.merittkingbalgibi.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tr.merittkingbalgibi.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
