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 Registered: 2026-06-10 Expires: 2027-06-10 Page title: Sahara AI HTTP response: 530 ## 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: 2026-06-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-10 19:56:47 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-10 18:24:11 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 04:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 00:18:58 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eb2b2-f10f-708e-a137-34c1fe902a05/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/03de124f-e660-499c-84f9-073f35694dcf Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vote-saharaai.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vote-saharaai.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vote-saharaai.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vote-saharaai.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vote-saharaai.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-24 10:16:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain vote-saharaai.xyz, associated with a high threat score of 85/100, has been identified as a generic phishing operation and is currently down. Six out of 95 security vendors, including recognizable names like Fortinet and SOCRadar, have flagged this domain as malicious, and it appears on three public blocklists. Google Safe Browsing has not flagged it, indicating it may not have been widely recognized before being taken down. Registered with NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, the domain was created and first seen on June 10, 2026. The hosting IP remains unresolved, which may suggest it was either recently spun up or has been taken offline without clear infrastructure details. Given the high threat score and confirmed malicious activity, block the domain at the perimeter and submit a report to the registrar's abuse desk for further investigation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260610-7D8C63 Favicon MD5: 80272905f114defb38815844ae2d0f67 ## 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/vote-saharaai.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vote-saharaai.xyz 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.
