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: 2025-12-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:20:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-23 13:06:17 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 04:25:22 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019b3adb-37f6-7582-bb2f-edda59363cd0/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/upgrades-base.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.upgrades-base.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=upgrades-base.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/upgrades-base.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/upgrades-base.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 02:29:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies upgrades-base.com as an active phishing domain impersonating Jurivoron, a legal counsel service. This fraudulent site aims to trick individuals seeking legal assistance by presenting itself with a convincing page title and design. Users who encounter this domain should exercise caution as it attempts to harvest sensitive information through deceptive means. This phishing setup works by luring victims with a seemingly legitimate webpage titled 'Jurivoron | Expert Legal Counsel & Representation.' The domain resolves to IP 172.67.197.81 and is flagged on multiple security blocklists, indicating repeated malicious behavior. Although only 7 out of 95 security scanners on VirusTotal detect it, the presence on two known blocklists suggests active risk. The site was registered recently, in February 2026, underscoring ongoing attempts to exploit unsuspecting users. If you have visited upgrades-base.com, immediately cease any interaction and avoid submitting personal or financial details. It is recommended to run a thorough antivirus scan and change any passwords that might have been entered on this site. Additionally, remain vigilant for suspicious emails or messages referencing Jurivoron or related legal matters, as these could be part of broader phishing campaigns. Reporting the incident to your IT security team or using platforms like PhishDestroy can help protect others from this threat. ## 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/upgrades-base.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=upgrades-base.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.
