Outgoing abuse reports are recorded; the latest stored availability evidence still shows the domain reachable.
Notification and current-status evidence
The sent-report ledger records the first outgoing report at .
The recorded recipient is abuse@nicenic.net.
The latest stored availability evidence still shows the domain reachable; 6 months has elapsed since the first outgoing report.
ICANN RAA §3.18 describes registrar abuse-contact and handling obligations.
This section records outgoing timestamps, listed recipients, case identifiers, and later availability. It does not by itself prove receipt, acknowledgement, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
This domain, usdt-x.exchange, operates as a fraudulent cryptocurrency exchange platform offering instant USDT-to-Monero swaps without identity verification. Analysis indicates the site is designed to deceive users into transferring Tether (USDT) under the pretense of converting it to Monero (XMR), a privacy-focused cryptocurrency. Victims are likely to lose funds permanently, as transactions on such platforms are irreversible and untraceable once processed. The site exploits the anonymity of Monero to obscure fraudulent activity, making recovery efforts nearly impossible for affected users. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-confidence threat indicators. The domain is flagged by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, including detection by blockchain security systems and anti-phishing tools. It was registered on April 7, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. The site resolves to the IP address 172.67.201.174 and appears on three security blocklists, including MetaMask and PhishDestroy. Additionally, it has been documented in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse, further confirming its malicious classification. If you visited usdt-x.exchange or interacted with the platform, immediate action is required. First, cease all communication and transactions with the site. If you connected a wallet or entered private keys, consider the wallet compromised and transfer remaining assets to a new, secure wallet using a different device. Monitor all linked accounts for unauthorized transactions and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Report the incident to your local cybercrime unit and relevant blockchain analytics platforms to assist in tracking the fraudulent activity. Never reuse passwords or recovery phrases associated with the compromised interaction.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
