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: a.dnspod.com, b.dnspod.com, c.dnspod.com Registered: 2026-03-04 Page title: Access Verification ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-06-02 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: f368d495f0902a31abd3a8f20ddb7c21f9a3c0d78d4463a2772e8dc1f671127e ## 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: 2026-03-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-29 15:28:38 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-29 15:27:46 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-13 14:17:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dd934-027b-739a-8aa3-41fa07d2b2ae/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/valdrop.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.valdrop.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=valdrop.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/valdrop.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/valdrop.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 06:42:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, valdrop.cc, poses a specific threat as a phishing site designed to impersonate an access verification page. The purpose of this phishing domain is to trick users into providing sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and other personal data. Once obtained, this information can be used for unauthorized access to accounts, financial fraud, or further malicious activities. Analysis indicates that valdrop.cc has been flagged by 17 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting a significant level of suspicion among the cybersecurity community. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on March 04, 2026, and currently resolves to the IP address 217.60.39.100. It appears on one security blocklist, and its Gridinsoft trust score is 0 out of 100, indicating a complete lack of trust in the domain's legitimacy. The elevated risk level and the domain's current offline status further highlight the potential danger it poses to users. If users have visited valdrop.cc, they are advised to immediately change any passwords or sensitive information that may have been entered on the site. It is recommended to run a full system scan using updated antivirus software to detect and remove any potential malware. Users should also monitor their financial and account statements for any unauthorized activity and consider enabling multi-factor authentication for additional security. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 0c3d7610ef8d3a44bb0f6e7b5378fb83 TLS cert SHA-256: f368d495f0902a31abd3a8f20ddb7c21f9a3c0d78d4463a2772e8dc1f671127e ## 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/valdrop.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=valdrop.cc 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.
