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: ["aaron.ns.cloudflare.com", "gabriella.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-03-26 Expires: 2027-03-04 Page title: Bitcoin kaufen (BTC) via Überweisung/Kreditkarte - Relai App Schweiz ## 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: 2026-03-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-27 00:45:32 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-27 01:40:12 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-28 01:32:27 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d2c18-5f3e-777e-8e23-84983b9ca412/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/update-relai.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.update-relai.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=update-relai.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/update-relai.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/update-relai.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-27 00:46:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies update-relai.app (seed: d89736) as an active credential phishing domain currently distributing fake login portals to harvest user credentials. This domain is in active circulation and should be considered a high-risk threat until verified otherwise. update-relai.app, registered on March 04, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, is hosted on IP address 172.67.200.51 with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. This domain is flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating limited but concerning detection. Its recent registration and low blocklist presence suggest a potentially evasive threat actor leveraging newly created infrastructure to avoid prior detection. The domain's naming convention, update-relai.app, implies an attempt to impersonate a legitimate service, likely targeting users in the cryptocurrency or financial services sectors. This domain is classified as an elevated risk due to its active status and the specific threat of credential harvesting. Users should avoid entering any credentials or sensitive information on this domain. Organizations are advised to implement network-level blocking for update-relai.app and its associated IP address (172.67.200.51). Additionally, monitor for any internal connections to this domain and conduct user awareness training to mitigate the risk of credential compromise. PhishDestroy's latest scan confirms this domain as a confirmed phishing site, and users are strongly urged to verify its safety via PhishDestroy before any interaction. ## 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/update-relai.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=update-relai.app 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.
