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. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: keaton.ns.cloudflare.com, oaklyn.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-10 Expires: 2027-06-10 Page title: Apyx ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-08 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 5582e869acceccb7e68ec4ff4c78c1f645de7cf942148c3b5e51075668477fde ## 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: 2026-06-11 09:29:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-11 09:29:18 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-05 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-17 00:09:30 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eb594-5ecc-7401-889f-5b06639a3620/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/voting-apyx.finance crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.voting-apyx.finance Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=voting-apyx.finance AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/voting-apyx.finance URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/voting-apyx.finance/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 23:51:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, voting-apyx.finance, is identified as a cryptocurrency phishing site impersonating Apyx, a known entity in the decentralized finance sector. The domain is currently offline, though prior analysis confirms its use in fraudulent schemes targeting users of blockchain-based platforms. The infrastructure was designed to mimic legitimate cryptocurrency services, likely to harvest credentials or private keys from unsuspecting victims. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on June 10, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolved to the IP address 104.21.29.241 and utilized an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, a common tactic to appear legitimate. Security vendors flagged voting-apyx.finance as malicious, with 3 of 95 VirusTotal engines detecting it. The domain also appeared on 4 security blocklists and was referenced in 2 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses. Additional scrutiny reveals a Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100, further confirming its malicious nature. Given the domain's current offline status, immediate threats are mitigated; however, similar infrastructure may re-emerge under different domains. Organizations and individuals are advised to monitor for domains registered through the same registrar or resolving to the same IP range. Blocking the domain and its associated IP at the network level is recommended. Users should verify the authenticity of cryptocurrency platforms by cross-referencing official sources and avoiding interaction with domains lacking verifiable trust indicators. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c15f8aa7f11e11100592b67eecefccc2 TLS cert SHA-256: 5582e869acceccb7e68ec4ff4c78c1f645de7cf942148c3b5e51075668477fde ## 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 (operator 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/voting-apyx.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=voting-apyx.finance 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
