Hosting org: AS13335 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.

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: 2026-06-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 14:10:52 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-30 04:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:03:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0e22-5557-738b-9fc3-f0e32094fb97/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vehicleclimate.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vehicleclimate.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vehicleclimate.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vehicleclimate.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vehicleclimate.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 15:01:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, vehicleclimate.net, is currently flagged as an active credential phishing site impersonating THERMATECH, a recognized brand in climate control systems. The page title, "Home - THERMATECH | AR LINTERN," suggests an attempt to deceive users into believing they are interacting with a legitimate corporate portal, likely to harvest login credentials or sensitive information. Analysis indicates the domain is designed to exploit trust in the THERMATECH brand, a tactic commonly observed in targeted phishing campaigns. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 25, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. The domain resolves to the IP address 104.21.21.203, which is hosted on a content delivery network known for anonymizing malicious infrastructure. Despite its recent creation, the domain has already been included in two threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, though it remains undetected by all 95 vendors on VirusTotal as of the latest scan. The lack of detection at this stage may indicate the use of evasion techniques or the novelty of the campaign. The domain remains active and poses a credible threat to users unfamiliar with THERMATECH’s legitimate digital presence. Organizations and individuals are advised to block access to vehicleclimate.net at the network level and monitor for any attempts to interact with the domain. Security teams should correlate this domain with other indicators of compromise, such as the IP address 104.21.21.203, and update detection rules to include the domain’s registration details. Users who may have engaged with the site should reset credentials immediately and enable multi-factor authentication where possible to mitigate potential account compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: aa003ee43359bb83147afc3cb4b84f0e62ab184fc2c2345d90013a631e76566b ## 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/vehicleclimate.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vehicleclimate.net 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.
