Network Security Intelligence Registrar context
Registrar contextNiceNIC
Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
PhishDestroy’s automated assessment flags whspr.finance as a seed‑phrase theft page. The recorded page title is “WHSPR — Some things are meant to stay between us.” The domain was first seen by PhishDestroy on 2026‑10‑20.
How the scam works
Seed‑phrase theft sites lure users into entering their cryptocurrency recovery phrase, which then gives attackers full control over any wallet derived from that phrase. Victims are typically told the page is a legitimate wallet or service and are asked to paste the seed phrase to recover funds or verify identity.
Evidence
VirusTotal reported 1 detection out of 92 engines on 2026‑10‑20, flagged by Fortinet. Google Safe Browsing checked on 2026‑10‑20 and did not flag the site. PhishDestroy’s internal blocklist includes the domain as of 2026‑10‑20, while external blocklists returned zero matches on that date. Spamhaus DBL listed the domain as spam on 2026‑10‑20, and OTX recorded four pulses mentioning it on the same day.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026‑10‑14 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, six days before first observation. The recorded IP address is 216.150.1.193, belonging to AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc., with a recorded country of US. No further infrastructure details are available beyond these records.
What to do
Anyone who may have entered a seed phrase on this site should treat the phrase as compromised, create a new wallet with a fresh seed, and transfer any assets. Users should also revoke any token approvals that might have been granted while the compromised phrase was active. Defenders should block the exact domain and the recorded IP address, review access logs for connections to that address, and update security policies to reference whspr.finance specifically.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Stored relationships are grouped by the exact matching attribute. A shared provider or registrar alone does not prove common ownership.

After a phishing incident
Recommendations & Advice for Victims
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including whspr.finance)
Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
