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: 2026-06-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 06:23:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-02 08:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1be9-9f8a-74a8-b53c-cdf5024c691f/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/travel-lux.life crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.travel-lux.life Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=travel-lux.life AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/travel-lux.life URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/travel-lux.life/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 06:24:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, travel-lux.life, is flagged for brand impersonation targeting the decentralized finance protocol Aave. Analysis indicates the site is actively mimicking Aave’s branding while presenting unrelated content under the page title 'Travel Lux — Luxury Journeys. Local Soul.' The domain remains operational and has not yet been widely recognized as malicious by security vendors. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and was registered on June 26, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. As of the latest assessment, the domain has been flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating no current detections or blocklist inclusions. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which may contribute to a false sense of legitimacy for unsuspecting users. The domain’s current status is active, and while no overt malicious payloads have been identified, the impersonation of a prominent cryptocurrency platform poses a significant risk for credential harvesting or social engineering attacks. Security teams are advised to monitor network traffic for connections to 188.114.96.3 and consider proactive blocking of the domain. Users should verify the authenticity of any communication or website claiming affiliation with Aave, particularly those deviating from official domains or presenting unrelated services. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 45bf6526a029523d15d0e1869e27c1b3368044f18d747d27fbc446a8f6557225 ## 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/travel-lux.life/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=travel-lux.life 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.
