Hosting org: 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. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: christian.ns.cloudflare.com, melany.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-03-22 Expires: 2027-03-22 Page title: Trust Wallet Visa Card HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-06-20 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 0fe483a7316cdc3d8ac1ca0caadcadfa8a9a4127dd0b95bdbf0db6558dfb6237 ## 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: 2026-03-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-25 20:18:45 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-03-25 17:19:46 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-25 12:20:18 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-10 17:43:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d2600-958b-77ea-83ea-ef858d900f5a/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e6e4deb9-a794-484f-ac59-0b8ce6cb65c8 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vtw.cards crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vtw.cards Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vtw.cards AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vtw.cards URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vtw.cards/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-25 20:19:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies vtw.cards as an active credential theft domain associated with a generic phishing campaign. Current status remains under investigation following initial detection on March 22, 2026. The domain exhibits characteristics consistent with fraudulent login portals designed to harvest user credentials across unspecified platforms. Security teams are advised to treat this domain as a credible threat vector pending further intelligence updates. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors as of the latest scan, indicating it remains undetected by conventional security solutions. It resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, using a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. The domain was created on March 22, 2026, suggesting a recent and potentially opportunistic campaign. Initial trust scores across threat intelligence platforms remain unverified, warranting heightened scrutiny. Current status classifies this domain as active and under investigation, with no confirmed blocklist inclusions at this time. Given the absence of detections and the domain's recent registration, the risk of successful exploitation remains elevated. Immediate containment measures include DNS blocking, SSL certificate revocation requests to Let's Encrypt, and user awareness campaigns highlighting the domain's suspicious attributes. Security teams should also monitor for downstream compromise indicators, such as unauthorized login attempts or credential leaks, associated with accounts handling this domain. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260325-AFE42B Favicon MD5: 4e6b91814b5b5fff20ab8d49b1ea735b TLS cert SHA-256: 0fe483a7316cdc3d8ac1ca0caadcadfa8a9a4127dd0b95bdbf0db6558dfb6237 ## 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/vtw.cards/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vtw.cards 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.
