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. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: angela.ns.cloudflare.com, lou.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-14 Page title: Trust Wallet - Crypto Card ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-05-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-18 02:17:40 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-18 13:40:01 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-18 03:12:08 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e383a-32f3-7593-8d2f-4e056ba4af4e/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/trust.validatorcards.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.trust.validatorcards.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=trust.validatorcards.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/trust.validatorcards.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/trust.validatorcards.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-18 02:18:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies trust.validatorcards.com as an active crypto drainer domain designed to steal cryptocurrency from unwitting users. The site masquerades as ValidatorCards, a legitimate card-validation service, but instead loads malicious JavaScript that drains connected wallets of tokens and NFTs without user consent. Visitors who connect a wallet risk immediate loss of funds, making this a high-consequence threat with real financial impact. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with an elevated risk rating after analysis revealed multiple red flags. The domain trust.validatorcards.com went live on May 14, 2026, just days ago, and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and is secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which attackers often use to appear legitimate. According to VirusTotal, only 1 out of 95 security engines currently detect this domain as malicious, highlighting how new and evasive this campaign is. Its recent creation and low detection rate suggest the threat is actively evolving and not yet widely recognized by automated defenses. If you visited trust.validatorcards.com or entered any information, disconnect your wallet from the site immediately and revoke any unauthorized permissions through your wallet interface. Do not reconnect to the domain under any circumstances. Scan your device for malware using a reputable antivirus tool and consider rotating wallet keys or using a hardware wallet for future transactions. Report this domain to PhishDestroy and your wallet provider to help block further attacks. Always verify URLs manually and use trusted bookmarks for legitimate services like ValidatorCards. ## 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/trust.validatorcards.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=trust.validatorcards.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.
