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: ["aitana.ns.cloudflare.com", "kenneth.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-05-08 Page title: Wavcas: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-12 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 4071749418b2cef29ae038e20f6338b6416f2fbf895d64db592fcc85a914ec98 ## 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: 2026-05-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-09 01:30:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 08:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-11 19:50:04 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 17:01:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain wavcas.com has been identified as a brand impersonation threat specifically targeting the Base cryptocurrency platform. Currently classified as elevated risk, this domain has been taken offline, but its prior activity posed a significant danger to users seeking legitimate crypto casino services. The site presented itself under the title "Wavcas: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain," a clear attempt to deceive visitors by mimicking the trusted Base brand. Technical analysis reveals that wavcas.com was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolved to IP address 172.67.129.166. The domain was created on May 8, 2026, and its SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt with identifier E8. Security vendor assessments show that 6 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors flagged this domain as malicious, and it appeared on three security blocklists. Additionally, AlienVault OTX recorded one threat intelligence pulse referencing this domain. These indicators collectively confirm the domain's malicious intent and the breadth of its detection across the cybersecurity community. Given that wavcas.com is now offline, the immediate risk to users is reduced, but the threat landscape remains active. PhishDestroy recommends that users verify any communications or websites referencing Base-branded crypto services, especially those promising gambling or high-return schemes. Always double-check domain names for subtle misspellings or variations, and rely on official sources for accessing cryptocurrency platforms. Organizations should update their security filters to block this domain and monitor for similar impersonation attempts. If users encounter any suspicious domains, they should report them to relevant authorities and avoid entering personal or financial information. Staying vigilant is key to protecting assets from such sophisticated phishing campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 095b185e288ed8e4d934ac78fe6a4e2e TLS cert SHA-256: 4071749418b2cef29ae038e20f6338b6416f2fbf895d64db592fcc85a914ec98 ## 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/wavcas.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=wavcas.com 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.
